Rules & Payouts
What it costs, how you score, and what you win.
01 The Buy-In
$100 per team for the entire season. One payment up front, no weekly fees, no rebuys. Every dollar goes into the prize pool and every dollar comes back out at the end of the season — the single highest weekly score of the season takes $100 off the top, and the rest is split between 1st and 2nd.
02 Payouts
One prize comes off the top: the highest single-week score of the season collects $100. It has nothing to do with the standings — one huge week pays for your season even if you finish last.
| Off the Top | Prize |
|---|---|
| Highest Weekly Score | $100 |
The remaining $600 is split between the top two on final season standings, 70 / 30.
| Finish | Share | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| 1 1st Place | 70% of $600 | $420 |
| 2 2nd Place | 30% of $600 | $180 |
Everyone below 2nd finishes out of the money unless they own the season's high score. Shares are percentages of the $600 left after the high score prize, not of the full pool. The high score prize stacks — if the same team also finishes 1st or 2nd, it collects both. Payouts are settled once the final week is scored and posted to the standings.
03 Weekly Scoring
Each week you enter a DraftKings daily fantasy lineup. Your raw DraftKings score for that week is all that matters — there are no head-to-head matchups. Teams are ranked highest score to lowest, and that finishing position earns league points:
League points accumulate all season. The team with the most league points at the end wins — not the team with the most raw fantasy points. If you do not enter a lineup for a week, you score zero points for that week — you are simply left out of that week's ranking, and everyone who did play keeps the position they earned.
04 Standings & Tiebreakers
- Season standings are sorted by total league points.
- If two teams tie on league points, the higher total raw DraftKings score wins the tiebreak. If that is also level, most weekly wins takes it.
- If two teams tie on score in a single week, they share the better finishing position and both earn its points. The next team drops to the position below the tied group — two teams tied for 1st both take 10 points, and the next team finishes 3rd.
- "Wins" on the standings page counts the weeks a team finished first outright or tied for first — and only once that week is over.
- A week is not final until every lineup in it has run out of game time. While a week is still running its scores and points show as live, the standings are flagged provisional, and no win is credited for it. Leading an unfinished week is not the same as winning it.
- Miss a week and you score no points for it. There is no penalty beyond the zero.
