CHOOSE YOUR CONTEST

Once you LOGIN to the Daily Fantasy Sports application, the STADIUM PANEL will present itself. The stadium panel displays all the free and real cash contests available for the day, week, month, or season. Tabs on the top of the display table (1) allow you to quickly sort through each sport or a combination of sports, or further segment your possible selections with our custom filter feature (2). Once you have found the contest you would like to enter, you may double-click the contest or select "ENTER THIS CONTEST"(3). This will launch the GENERAL MANAGER panel where you'll select your team.

TEAM SELECTION

This selection process is done in the GENERAL MANAGER panel. Daily Fantasy Sports is a contest of skill. There are millions of possible team combinations that you can create, so you will have to use your knowledge of each professional sports player, their respective opponent, along with the various statistics surrounding their matchup, and select your team based on that knowledge. In each contest, you will be asked to select a complete team, position by position, player by player, until your team is full. The GENERAL MANAGER panel is basically broken up into 3 sections. Contest Information (4), Player Lists, and Your Team. Tabs above the Player lists (5) in the GENERAL MANAGER panel represent the different positions that you will use to complete your team and allows for you to sort through the Player Lists for position eligible players. When making your selections, the application will automatically move you to the next tab once the position is selected, however you are free to jump from tab to tab and select your players in any order.

Player List stats can be sorted by clicking the column headers. To select a player for your team, you click the (+) sign to the left of the player’s name (6). As you make your selections, the players you select will appear in YOUR TEAM (7). If you want to remove a player, click the (-) sign next to their name (8). Once you have formed your complete team, you will be prompted to assign your FACTORS (9). Factors are multipliers that you apply to 2-3 of your team members depending on the type of the contest as each individual contest has different factoring requirements. Team members with an applied factor will have their score multiplied by the assigned factor at the conclusion of the contest. This "weighting" of select team members adds an additional skill component to the contest, so you should assign the factors with great care.

ENTERING A TEAM

Once you've completed selecting your players and assigning your factors, the resulting team will constitute your proposed entry in to the contest. To begin to officially enter the contest, you must click "ENTER CONTEST" (10). Once you click "CONFIRM ENTRY" (11) your team will be officially entered into the contest. IMPORTANT: You will not be able to withdraw your entry after you click "CONFIRM ENTRY", however you will be able to edit your team up until the start of the contest.

EDITING A TEAM

Because of the changing nature of professional sports, the Daily Fantasy Sports app allows you to make changes to your team prior to the contest start-time. This includes switching players and/or the assignment of factors. To edit your team, find your team in the MY LIVE CONTESTS panel and click the EDIT button (12) to the right of the team your wish to change. This will re-open the GENERAL MANAGER panel where you can make your changes. After your changes are complete, click the "SAVE" button (13) to re-submit your team. You must re-submit and "save" your team before the contest start-time for your changes to be in effect.

ENTER A CONTEST MORE THAN ONCE

Do you like the team that you just created? In the Daily Fantasy Sports app, you can enter it in the same league type more than once to match it up against more competitors. Each league type that you see in the Stadium Panel stays open and accepts teams up until the entry deadline.

For example, in a "5-Team Minimum" league type, there could be 50, 100 or more teams entered into the competition. After the entry deadline, all of the teams in the "5 Team Minimum" league type are randomized using a patent-pending process and sorted (in this case) into 5-team leagues, or as close as possible, depending on the total number of entries.

For instance, if there were 32 teams entered, the app would randomize those entries into four 5-team leagues and two 6-team leagues. If six of those 32 teams were your entries, each team would be entered into a separate league. The app will always arrange the leagues so that the number of teams in each league is as close as possible to the minimum size for that league type. If you enter multiple teams, your first team is guaranteed entry into a contest. However, since you can’t have two teams in the same league, there is a chance that your subsequent teams may not get matched up if there aren’t enough teams entered into the league type. Unlimited contests are the only league type that you can’t enter more than once.
