How DCL 2026 is structured across offices
Each squad carried forward retained players (Pune: 8, Delhi: 6, Bangalore: 3) and rebuilt via auction from a 10M purse. Three player tiers based on 2025 performance:
Tier 1: 500K base ·
Tier 2: 200K base ·
Tier 3: 100K base
Every event requires a minimum mix of men and women. Core-event participation cap: 2 men, 3 women. Additional allowance of +2 each for new events. Squads are led by a Squad Owner and Squad Manager, with sport-level POCs handling fixtures.
Points awarded by finishing position, weighted by event size and prestige
