Welcome to College Fantasy League ("College Fantasy League"), owned and operated by Sponsor: Association of Surfing Professionals LLC d/b/a World Surf League ("WSL") whose registered office is at 147 Bay Street, Santa Monica, California 90405. WSL offers the College Fantasy League service to you subject to the conditions within these College Fantasy League Game Terms (“Game Terms”) (which supplement the WSL Fantasy Surfing Rules and Instructions, located at http://mct.fantasy.worldsurfleague.com/rules) (“Fantasy Rules”), and any other rules or guidelines that may be published by WSL on a periodic basis (any of which may be updated by WSL from time to time and be effective from the date of publication).
(A) ACCEPTANCE OF COLLEGE FANTASY LEAGUE TERMS: Any participation in the College Fantasy League will constitute your acceptance of these Game Terms; the WSL privacy policy accessible at https://www.worldsurfleague.com/pages/privacy-policy; the WSL Terms of Use accessible at https://www.worldsurfleague.com/pages/terms-conditions; and the Fantasy Rules for participation as stated on the WSL app, mobile or desktop (“WSL Website”). For the avoidance of doubt, College Fantasy League is a function of the WSL Website. Nothing within College Fantasy League Game Terms is intended to conflict with the other paragraphs of the WSL Terms of Use or the WSL Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE GAME TERMS, YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGE FANTASY LEAGUE OR BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE PRIZE.
(B) REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT: To participate in the College Fantasy League, you must use an email account associated with your college (e.g. frothyjoe@College.edu) and the provided password. You must be over 18 years of age and be a resident of California or Florida only. If you have an existing WSL account, please sign out and register a new account. For further assistance, please contact support@worldsurfleague.com. If you do not have an email account associated with your college or if your college was not invited to participate in this College Fantasy League, you may not participate in the College Fantasy League at this time but you may still participate in WSL Fantasy Surfing accessible at www.worldsurfleague.com/fantasy. You will be prompted to register before being able to participate. Please note that if you are under the age of 18, you may not participate in the College Fantasy League or WSL Fantasy Surfing.
(C) HOW TO PLAY: You need to identify yourself with a college, and there can be an unlimited number of players from each college provided each player registers with a college associated email (e.g. frothyjoe@college.edu). The College Fantasy League shall commence on August 24th 2017 and shall end on December 21st 2017. Each player needs to select surfers they think will perform best for each Men’s Championship (“CT”) event remaining from the launch of the College Fantasy League on August 24, 2017, which events include, Hurley Pro at Trestles, Quiksilver Pro France, MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal and Billabong Pipe Masters (each an “Event”). Selected surfer’s real heat scores in each Event count as points counted as each players individual College Fantasy League points (“Fantasy Points”). For example, if a surfer on your College Fantasy League team scores 15.05 in a heat, you’ll get 15.05 Fantasy Points. Your total is the combined Fantasy Points of all selected surfers from each Event. There are limits for which surfers you can pick. You will be prompted to select a requisite number of surfers from the respective three (3) “Tiers” of their CT ranking at the time of your selection (as available on the WSL Website) (“CT Ranking”):
- Tier A: Pick 2 surfers from CT Rankings 1 – 8;
- Tier B: Pick 4 surfers from CT Rankings 9 – 24; and
- Tier C: Pick 2 surfers from CT Rankings 25 – 34.
Your selections for each respective Event must be submitted prior to the respective Event start time (see www.worldsurfleague.com). You will need to select new surfers for each Event, and repeat the process above using the updated CT Rankings.
(D) WINNING TEAM: Each college team will be scored by calculating the sum of the Fantasy Points earned by each player from that college. The Fantasy Points from the top 10 players for each college are calculated per Event. The sum of these top ten (10) scores will then be added to be an overall college score (“College Score”), which will be displayed on the College Fantasy League Leaderboard. At the end of the 2017 Men’s CT season, the college team with the highest cumulative College Score will be the “WSL College Fantasy League Champion”. The odds of winning depend on the number of participants in the WSL College Fantasy League. The Winners shall be notified via email sent to the address used to set up the Winners’ account by December 31, 2017.
(E) PRIZE: Six (6) players from WSL College Fantasy League Champion that had the highest cumulative Fantasy Points, as notified and confirmed by WSL (“Winners”), shall receive travel, accommodation and access for a day to the Kelly Slater Wave Pool at Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California (“Surf Ranch”) which shall include a private tour and lunch at Surf Ranch, (the “Prize”) on a date between February 1, 2018 – April 30, 2018, as chosen by WSL in its sole discretion.
