FANTASY FOOTBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
DraftKings is pleased to announce an exciting new contest, the $12.5M Fantasy Football World Championship (hereinafter, the "FFWC Contest" or “FFWC”), exclusively for DraftKings players. Contestants who enter the FFWC will have the opportunity to win the Grand Prize (defined below).
To qualify for the FFWC, DraftKings players must win an entry ticket to the $12.5M FFWC (the “Prize”). Two hundred (200) tickets will be awarded to players who participate in an FFWC qualifier contest (a “Qualifier”) and win a ticket to the FFWC by finishing first place in the Qualifier (each a “Prize Winner”). Each Prize Winner shall be subject to these Contest Rules in addition to the contest rules for each Qualifier.
The FFWC Contest will be held on Sunday, December 20th, 2020 (the “FFWC Contest Day”). The contest will take place on DraftKings.com and be administered and scored according to DraftKings’ NFL Classic contest rules. The winner of the FFWC Contest shall receive TWO MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,500,000) dollars (the “Grand Prize”). These Contest Rules, in conjunction with the DraftKings' Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, shall govern player eligibility, contest conduct, and rules of play of the FFWC Contest.
QUALIFIERS
If one or more DraftKings players tie in a Qualifier, in which the tie determines who wins the “ticket” to the FFWC, there will be a tiebreaker playoff contest between the tied DraftKings Players, to determine the Qualifier Winner. DraftKings will determine the timing and structure of the tiebreaker playoff contest in DraftKings’ sole and absolute discretion.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRIES
A DraftKings player may only win a maximum of eight (8) entries to the FFWC Contest. If a player chooses to play in additional FFWC qualifier contests after the player has won eight entries to FFWC and happens to win an additional qualifier, the player will receive $0 for the player’s additional entry and the ticket will be awarded to second place. If a player wins multiple qualifier contests that were live at the time the player wins an eighth entry to the FFWC, the player will receive the cash value of the additional tickets won ($62,625 per ticket). DraftKings may rerun additional qualifiers.
TIEBREAKERS
If one or more DraftKings players tie in the FFWC Contest, DraftKings may administer a playoff contest between the tied DraftKings players, the timing and structure of which shall be determined by DraftKings in DraftKings’ sole discretion, to determine the finalists or winners, as the case may be, of FFWC Contest. In the event of a tie for any position in the FFWC online Final Contest, DraftKings’ standard tiebreaker rules apply.
