Mission

DO prides itself on running and facilitating dynasty leagues with only three goals: fun, great competition, and integrity.

Deposits

We CAN  charge a deposit for all new leagues and orphans at DO. The deposit fees range from $100 to $25, depending on how many years you commit to upfront.

Buy-In prices for both Start-up leagues and orphaned teams:
2-year commitment = $200 (upcoming season plus year 2 pre-paid) PLUS $100 deposit EQUALS $300 total fee
3-year commitment = $300 (upcoming season plus year 2 & 3 pre-paid) PLUS $75 deposit EQUALS $375 total fee
4-year commitment = $400 (upcoming season plus year 2, 3, & 4 pre-paid) PLUS $50 deposit EQUALS $450 total fee
5-year commitment = $500 (upcoming season plus year 2, 3, 4, & 5 pre-paid) PLUS $25 deposit EQUALS $525 total fee

Buy-In prices for orphaned teams ONLY:
1-year commitment = $100 (upcoming season buy-in) PLUS $100 deposit EQUALS $200 total fee

Because we play DYNASTY contests, we DO NOT allow 1-year entrees into any start-up league.

Deposit Reimbursement

At DO, we offer a way to get your deposit back. Here’s how:

If you have paid a deposit and announced before the yearly buy-in that the upcoming season will be your last, DO will reduce the price of that year's buy-in by whatever your rolling deposit is.
Example: If you paid a $75 deposit for a 3-year commitment and announce before the year 4 season is paid that you will NOT return after season 4, we will reduce your year 4 fee to $25. However, in this scenario, you will NOT be permitted to trade during that final season.

What happens to your deposit if you walk away or abandon (orphan) your team? DO will use your deposit to reduce the price of your team to a new potential owner.
