CONTEST DESCRIPTION
DraftKings is pleased to announce an exciting college basketball contest, the DraftKings College Basketball March Mania Bracket exclusively for DraftKings Players. Contestants will have the opportunity to win up to $25,000.
CBB March Mania Bracket is a 64 entry field where players must win a qualifier contest to compete. Players will be allowed to win up to 4 entries. All 64 qualifiers will participate in a “Play-In Round 1” contest during Day 1 of the CBB Tournament. The top 32 finishers in the “Play-In Round 1” will advance into head-to-head matchups against other players in a bracket style tournament. Seeding in the bracket will be determined by the results of the “Play-In Round 1” contest. In the Bracket, winners of head-to-head contests will move onto the next round where they will compete in subsequent head-to-head contests. Losers of head-to-head contests are eliminated. The field will go from 64 entries in the “Play-In Round 1” down to a single winner by end of the bracket.
TIEBREAKERS
If one or more DraftKings Players tie in a Qualifier, in which the tie determines who wins the “ticket” to the CBB March Mania Bracket, there will be a tiebreaker playoff contest between the tied DraftKings Players, to determine the Qualifier Winner. The scheduling of the tiebreaker playoff contest will be solely determined by DraftKings.
For the CBB March Mania Bracket 64 team “Play-In Round 1”, in the case of a tie for any position between 1st – 32nd, there will be a tiebreaker playoff contest between the tied DraftKings Players to determine the positions of the top 32 participants. Any “Play-In Round 1” tiebreakers will take place on Friday, March 22.
In the case of a tie in any round of the CBB March Mania Bracket 32 team bracket tournament, the winner will be the DraftKings Player with the higher single-player fantasy points result for each drafted player in the lineup. For example, if DraftKings Player A and DraftKings Player B tied in the daily game, and Player A's highest fantasy point scoring player was Zion Williamson with 42 fantasy points, and Player B's highest fantasy point scoring player was Tyus Battle with 40 fantasy points, then Player A would be judged the winner. In the event that both teams have the same highest fantasy point scoring player, the same process will proceed down to the next highest fantasy point scoring player in each roster. In the event of two identical rosters, the DraftKings Player with the most cumulative points throughout the CBB March Mania Bracket will be deemed the winner. If a tie occurs in the Round of 32, the DraftKings Player who qualified first for the CBB March Mania Bracket shall be deemed the winner.
Prize Structure
Players are paid out according to the Round in which they are eliminated.
1st Place: $25,000

Semi-Finals: $10,000

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRIES
Once a player has accumulated 4 entries to the CBB March Mania Bracket they are no longer allowed to win entries in qualifier contests. If a player chooses to play in additional CBB March Mania Bracket qualifier contests after they have won their fourth entry and they happen to win an additional qualifier, they will receive $0 for their additional entry and the ticket will be awarded to second place.
If a player wins multiple qualifier contests that were live at the time their 4th entry was accumulated, they will receive the cash value of their additional qualifiers. DraftKings will rerun those additional qualifiers.
BRACKET HEAD-TO-HEAD ASSIGNMENT
All 64 qualifiers will compete in the “Play-In Round 1” contest and the top 32 finishers in that contest will be seeded for the CBB March Mania Bracket based upon an S curve of their finishing positions. Users will be assigned positions across 4 different regions with 8 players competing in each region.
Users will be assigned position based on an S curve of their finishing positions except for users who have multiple entries in the Round of 32. A user with 2 entries will not be allowed to have them both be on the same side of the bracket and a user with 3 or more entries in the 32 team Bracket will not be allowed to have more than 1 entry in the same region. In the case of this situation, the S curve will be used to assign positions and for every additional entry a user has, they will be automatically assigned to the next available position that meets the requirements above.
Example: If the top 6 positions in the “Play-In Round 1” finish like this:
1. Player A
2. Player B
3. Player C
4. Player D
5. Player D (2x)
6. Player E
“Player A” will play in the Top Left region as the #1 seed, “Player B” will play in the Top Right region as the #1 seed, “Player C” will play in the Bottom Right region as the #1 seed and “Player D” will play in the Bottom Left region as the #1 seed. “Player D (2x)” second entry will not be assigned to the Bottom Left region as it should be but will instead be placed in the Bottom Right region as the #2 seed and “Player E” will be assigned to the Bottom Left region as the #2 seed.
