How to Win

Last updated: Jul 17, 2024

There are two ways to win:

1) Highest Score Wins

The highest score in your group will win the payout associated with the number of picks in your lineup.

The standard payout rate* is as follows:

6-pick lineups = 25x your entry fee

5-pick lineups = 15x your entry fee

* With 5 and 6-pick lineups, you can have Lineup Protection! This means you can earn your entry fee back even if you miss picks. You’ll see the exact criteria for this payout before you finalize your lineup.

4-pick lineups = 10x your entry fee

3-pick lineups = 5x your entry fee

2-pick lineups = 3x your entry fee

* Some lineups may earn a different payout than the standard rates listed above. This usually happens when multiple projections in a lineup feature players from the same team or the same game. You can double check your payout rate by visiting the “My Lineups” tab in the app.

Group scoring is determined by a variable points system.

A variable scoring system allows for contestants to demonstrate their skill by being awarded fantasy points based on how difficult their roster selections and player performance predictions are.  Scoring will work as follows:

  • Demon Projection Win → 1.05
  • Standard projection Win → 1
  • Goblin Projection Win → 0.95
  • Discounted Projection Win → 0.95
  • DNP → 0.5
  • Tied Projection → 0.5
  • Reboot → 0
  • Lose (pick is incorrect) → 0

If your score is tied with other players, the payout you receive will be equal to the contest payout divided by the total number of winners.

2) Perfect Lineup Bonus

If your lineup selections are correct across the board, you’ll always win your full payout without having to split with other winners!

There can be multiple Perfect Lineups in a given group. In that case, all Perfect Lineups will receive the accompanying cash prize.

IMPORTANT: If your lineup qualifies for both payouts described above, you will receive whichever amount is higher between the two. Payouts do not stack.
