Rules

1. Overview

Hyzerleague is a disc golf fantasy game where users build a team of professional players within a set budget. Players score points based on their real-life performance in PDGA-sanctioned tournaments, and users compete to earn the highest fantasy score.

Each tournament is a standalone event, meaning no scores, players, or budgets carry over between weeks. Users are free to modify their lineup as many times as they want before the tournament starts.

2. Team Selection & Budget System

  • Each user is given a budget to build a team for the tournament. The exact team size and division split depend on the tournament formation.
  • Player prices are calculated separately for each tournament and remain fixed for that tournament once generated.
  • Users can modify their lineup until the tournament’s registration closes, after which selections are final.

3. Scoring System

Players earn or lose fantasy points based on their real-life performance in the tournament. See the scoring section for details on how fantasy points are calculated.

4. Withdrawals, No-Shows & Player Replacements

  • If a selected player is removed from the PDGA roster while registration is still open, Hyzerleague attempts to replace them with the highest-priced available player who is in the same division, costs no more than the removed player, and is not already on the team. If no eligible replacement exists, the team is marked as requiring attention.
  • After registration closes, rosters are locked. A player reported as DNF (did not finish) by PDGA remains part of the team and their available tournament score is used.
  • Once registration closes, user rosters are locked and cannot be changed.

5. Tiebreakers

If two or more users have the exact same fantasy score, the following tiebreakers apply, in order:

  1. Most Budget Left Over – The user who spent the least on their team wins.
  2. Most Birdies or Better – The user whose selected players made the most birdies, eagles, albatrosses, and aces wins.
  3. Fewest Bogeys or Worse – The user whose selected players had the fewest bogeys, double bogeys, or worse wins.
  4. Best overall score (under par) – If all other categories are tied among users, the final deciding factor will be the total score under par for all selected players on your team.

In the event that two or more users have identical teams and points — including the same captain — the user who created their team first (based on timestamps) will have the advantage when determining the prize winner.

6. Tournament & Round Cancellations (Force Majeure)

In the case of unforeseen circumstances (e.g., weather delays, PDGA rulings, tournament cancellations), the following rules apply:

  • If an entire tournament is canceled, all fantasy results will be voided.
  • If certain rounds are canceled, final results will always be determined by the official PDGA leaderboard.
    • If PDGA includes scores from partially played rounds, Hyzerleague will do the same.
    • If PDGA ignores those holes, Hyzerleague will also ignore them.
  • Users cannot claim refunds or point adjustments based on canceled rounds — official PDGA results are final.

7. Playoffs & Sudden Death Rules

  • Playoff holes count as normal for fantasy points.
  • Final placements are based on official PDGA results.

8. Scoring Disputes & Data Accuracy

  • All scoring data is sourced from official PDGA statistics.
  • Users have 48 hours after a tournament ends to dispute a scoring issue.
  • Once scores are finalized based on official PDGA results, no further changes will be made, even if PDGA later updates results.

9. Fair Play & Cheating Prevention

Hyzerleague is committed to fair play and competitive integrity. Any attempt to gain an unfair advantage may result in penalties, including:

  • Account suspension
  • Refusal to pay out prizes
  • Permanent ban from future contests

The following actions are strictly prohibited:

  • Multiple accounts per person
  • Exploiting game mechanics or bugs
  • Using insider information not publicly available

Hyzerleague reserves the right to review and update these rules at any time to maintain fair competition.

10. Winning a Prize

Prizes are only available to users with a permanent address in Finland (this may change in the future).
