TIEBREAKER POLICY

If one or more DraftKings Players tie for a qualifying spot to the KoM Contest and such KoM Contest is completed more than 10 day prior to the scheduled trip to the KoM AND if the tiebreaker can be played in the same sport as the qualifier, there will be a playoff contest between the tied DraftKings Players, as solely determined by DraftKings, to determine the winner of the KoM ticket.

If one or more DraftKings Players tie for a qualifying spot to the KoM Contest (or such playoff to break the tie as described in the paragraph above) and such KoM Contest is completed less than 10 days before the trip to the Miami, 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 Adrian Peterson with 34 fantasy points, and Player B's highest fantasy point scoring player was Marshawn Lynch with 31 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 who submitted his/her winning lineup first will be deemed the winner.
