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 nine (9) entries to the FFWC
Contest. If a player chooses to play in additional FFWC
qualifier contests after the player has won nine entries to
the 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 a ninth 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.
RULES OF PLAY
