HOW TO PLAY
1. What is SnapDraft: SNAPDRAFT is a daily fantasy sports game. Multiple individual sports and combined sports are available as well as varying league sizes, price points, and styles of play. For some sports, the daily contest may include games on multiple days (i.e., for SNAPDRAFT NFL, in addition to Sunday games, the Thursday night and/or Monday night games may be included) or the daily contest may include games on multiple weekends (i.e., for SNAPDRAFT NFL Playoffs, all games from the start of the contest through the Super Bowl may be included). Contests that use combined sports are called "hybrid" contests.
2. Open an Account: Before you can enter a SNAPDRAFT contest, you must open an account and add money to it.
3. Choose Which Contest to Enter: Listed on the SNAPDRAFT home page are all currently available contests. The available contests are listed by sport, league size, price point, and style of play. The following league sizes and price points are available:
League Sizes: 2 teams (Heads Up), 3 teams (Triple Threat), 4 teams (Quad Attack), 5 teams (Five Alive), 10 teams (Ten Pack), and 25 teams.
Price Points: $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $25 and $100 entry fees as well as 25-team free contests.
Once you have found the contest you want to play, click ENTER. For more details about a contest, including the entry deadline, player roster requirements, and scoring rules, click DETAILS.4. Enter Your Team: Enter your players in accordance with the player roster and entry deadline rules for the selected contest. Only players listed on the teams included in the selected contest may be chosen. You may make unlimited changes to your player roster prior to the entry deadline. Once the entry deadline passes, however, no additional player changes can be made.
5. Watch Live Scoring: Once the entry deadline for the selected contest passes and the included games begin, you can watch your team's performance based on the scoring rules defined for the selected contest. If you did not submit your player roster by the specified entry deadline, you will receive no points.
6. Win Prizes: After the selected contest ends, prizes will be awarded by 5:30 PM CT the following day. One 1st Place prize is awarded which equals 80% of the contest's entry fees. As examples, in a 10-team $1 contest, the prize is $8.00, and in a 4-team $3 contest, the prize is $9.60. For contests with an entry fee greater than $10, a larger percentage of the contest's entry fees is awarded as specified in the contest's DETAILS. For 25-team free contests, a $5 SNAPDRAFT promotional credit is awarded to the 1st Place team. All prizes are added to your account balance. In the event of a tie, the 1st Place prize is divided evenly amongst the teams that have tied. Please refer to the PRIZE TABLE below for more information.
7. Special Contests: At times, special SNAPDRAFT contests with unique rules are launched. These unique rules may include different league sizes, price points, and/or prizes. For example, SNAPDRAFT MLB OPENING DAY offers 1000-team contests with a $10 entry fee and a $8500 (85%) 1st Place prize and SNAPDRAFT MLB DAY 2 offers 1000-team contests with a $5 entry fee and a $4250 (85%) 1st Place prize.
8. Multiple Teams, Duplicate Teams and Incomplete Contests: There is no limit to the number of contests that you may enter, but you are limited to one team per contest. If all teams in a contest are the same, the contest will be dissolved and the entry fee will be refunded to your account balance. If a contest does not have enough teams at the entry deadline, the contest will be dissolved and the entry fee will be refunded to your account balance.
9. Canceled Games and Multiple Games: If a game scheduled as part of a contest is not played (i.e., for SNAPDRAFT MLB, a game is rained out), it will be removed from the contest's scoring and only the remaining games will be used to calculate scoring and determine the winner. With the exception of SNAPDRAFT NFL PLAYOFFS, if a team is scheduled to play more than one game during a contest period, only the first game scheduled will be used. For example, for SNAPDRAFT MLB, only the first game of a double-header where both games occur during a contest period will count. For SNAPDRAFT MLB contest periods that begin after the first game of the double-header, the second game of the double-header will be used.
