RULES AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
CONTEST DESCRIPTION
DraftKings is pleased to announce an exciting new contest, the $500K Fantasy
Hockey World Championship (hereinafter, the "FHWC Contest"), exclusively for
DraftKings Players. FHWC Contestants will have the opportunity to win the Prize
(defined below).
To qualify for the FHWC, DraftKings Players must win a “ticket” to the FHWC
Contest. The forty (40) tickets will be awarded to players who participate in an
FHWC qualifier contest (a “Qualifier”) and win a ticket to the FHWC Contest by
finishing first place in the Qualifier (each a “Prize Winner”). Each Prize Winner
shall be subject to these FHWC Contest Rules in addition to the contest rules for
each Qualifier.
The FHWC Contest will be held on Saturday, February 29th, 2020 (the “FHWC Contest
Day”). The contest will take place on DraftKings.com and be administered and
scored according to DraftKings NHL Classic contest rules. These Contest Rules, in
conjunction with the DraftKings' Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, shall govern the
player eligibility, contest conduct, and rules of play of the FHWC Contest.
In addition to FHWC Contest entry, as an added bonus, FHWC Ticket winners will
receive the following from DraftKings: a trip for two (2) to Nashville, TN
(hereinafter, "Location") comprising of: a $1,000 cash credit to the Prize
Winner’s DraftKings’ player account for airfare and transportation to/from the
airport; and one room accommodation in the Location for three (3) nights (arriving
on February 27, 2020 and departing on March 1, 2020) (collectively, the “Bonus”).
Prize Winners are permitted to bring one guest to the FHWC Contest. A player who
is a Prize Winner shall only receive a total of $1,000 cash credit for the
purposes of traveling to the Location and one guest room accommodation in the
Location regardless of the number of Qualifiers any one Prize Winner wins. A
player who wins any amount in connection with the FFWC may be taxed on the Bonus,
Prize, Grand Prize, and or other prizes’ fair market value depending on applicable
law, and all such tax liability is the responsibility of the player.
TIEBREAKERS
If one or more DraftKings Players tie for a Qualifying place in the FHWC Contest,
there will be a playoff contest between the tied DraftKings Players, as solely
determined by DraftKings, to determine the finalists or winners, as the case may
be, of FHWC Contest.
In the event of a tie for any position in the FHWC Live Final Contest, DraftKings’
standard tiebreaker rules apply.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRIES
Once a player has accumulated 3 entries to the FHWC Contest they are no longer
allowed to win entries in FHWC Contest qualifier contests. If a player chooses to
play in additional FHWC qualifier contests after they have won their third entry
to FHWC 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 3th
entry was accumulated, they will receive the cash value of their additional
qualifiers. DraftKings will rerun those additional qualifiers.
FIRST DEGREE RELATIVES
First degree relatives living in the same household are subject to the same max
entry cap for the FHWC. For example, a husband and wife with separate usernames
can only win 3 combined entries to the FHWC.
