General FAQs
What is Reignmakers?
Reignmakers lives at the intersection of collectibles and fantasy gaming. Build a collection of digital player cards, officially licensed by the NFLPA, PGA TOUR and UFC, and draft those cards in fantasy contests throughout the year.
Each player card represents an athlete and scores points based on the player’s statistical performance in a given event or game.
Every week of the football season, there are a wide variety of fantasy contests posted in the Reignmakers lobby that cater to participants with both large and small Reignmakers player card collections. Similarly, UFC events will have contests available for drafting your fighter cards and PGA TOUR events will have contests available with a number of professional golfer cards.

What are card rarity tiers?
Card rarity is an important property for each digital player card. The card’s rarity tier helps define:
(1) The scarcity of that specific variation of card, set & athlete
(2) Contest entry eligibility
In the Reignmakers fantasy game, the digital player cards will be from five (5) distinct rarity tiers. In order of least to most scarce, those tiers are:
- CORE
- RARE
- ELITE
- LEGENDARY
- REIGNMAKER
Reignmakers Football
Contest types
Classic Contests
Classic contests are multi-game slates where participants can complete their lineup from a number of different football games. The roster format for classic contests requires you fill 5 positions:
Showdown Contests
Showdown is a single-game contest where the rosters will have a CAPTAIN position, which gets a 1.5X fantasy score multiplier, and FLEX positions. FLEX means players from all positions are eligible for that slot.
For Reignmakers football, Showdown slates will typically be available for all primetime games each week (TNF, SNF & MNF).
Note: Captain is also a "FLEX" position.
Deep Roster Contests
Deep roster contests include expanded roster sizes, allowing you to play a larger number of players. Deep roster contests require you fill 9 slots.
Contest rarity tiers
Contest rarity is the gating mechanism that creates value for holding scarcer digital player cards in your collection. There can be contests at the 5 rarity tiers outlined above and each tier typically has a consistent baseline of card requirements for entry:
Note: Cards are eligible to be played at the shown rarity tier or lower. For example, a legendary tier card can be used as a core, rare, elite or legendary card in fantasy contests.
Tiers for Classic Format Contests:
- CORE - Can draft cards from any rarity tier
- RARE - Must draft at least four rare tier cards or better + one core tier card or better
- ELITE - Must draft at least four elite tier cards or better + one rare tier card or better
- LEGENDARY - Must draft at least two legendary tier cards or better + three elite tier cards or better
- REIGNMAKER - Must draft at least two Reignmaker tier cards or better + three legendary tier cards or better
Tiers for Showdown Format Contests:
- CORE - Four cards from any rarity tier
- RARE - Must draft at least three rare tier cards or better + one core tier card or better
- ELITE - Must draft at least three elite tier cards or better + one rare tier card or better
- LEGENDARY - Must draft at least two legendary tier cards or better + two elite tier cards or better
- REIGNMAKER - Must draft at least one Reignmaker tier cards or better + three legendary tier cards or better
Tiers for Deep Roster Format Contests:
- CORE - Nine cards from any rarity tier
- RARE - Must draft at least eight rare tier cards or better + one core tier card or better
- ELITE - Must draft at least six elite tier cards or better + three rare tier cards or better
- LEGENDARY - Must draft at least five legendary tier cards or better + four elite tier cards or better
- REIGNMAKER - Must draft at least three Reignmaker tier cards or better + six legendary tier cards or better
Scoring rules
Scoring for Reignmakers football matches our classic DFS scoring system.
Defensive Player Scoring
Defensive players score fantasy points based on the team they play for. Their score will be equal to the fantasy score of their team’s defense. See how DSTs are scored in DraftKings fantasy football here.
There's no limit on the number of defensive players from the same team Reignmakers participants can draft in one lineup, though not all contests will have enough draftable positions where defensive players are eligible.
SuperStar cards
The SuperStar property is created at the beginning of the season and may be updated throughout the year based on individual player performance.
Each contest will have a limit where Reignmakers participants can only draft 1X player per lineup who qualifies as a "SuperStar".
When considering the SuperStar player attribute, not only are rosters limited to having only one SuperStar, but SuperStar digital player cards must also be eligible for the highest rarity tier of the given contest. This means if the contest is at the Legendary tier but allows both Elite and Legendary cards, the SuperStar that must be played needs to be of the Legendary rarity or higher.
SuperStar cards are shown with a STAR icon next to them in the draft experience.
View the latest SuperStar player list.
Learn more about SuperStar cards on the DraftKings Help Center.
Other entry requirements
Card Set Requirements
Player cards are associated with different named sets which impact the visual display of a card and the edition counts. Contests may be created that require you draft player cards from a specific card set.
Specialty Contests
Throughout the season, DraftKings may offer contests that have differing roster constructions or entry requirements. An example of this could be an all Quarterbacks contest.
Player positional eligibility
Player positions will be dependent on the position they're currently playing and not necessarily tied to the position listed on the card.
Example: If a participant’s player’s digital player card is minted at WR and he moves to RB, the player will be draftable as an RB and not a WR.
Card eligibility rules
Not seeing some of your digital player cards? There are a few reasons why you may not see some of your digital player cards for this contest:
- The player on your card does not have a game in the contest.
- The player card is being played in another active lineup.
- The player card rarity or set isn't playable in the contest. Check the contest details to see what digital player cards can be played in the contest.
- A SuperStar player card can only be played if it matches or exceeds the contest tier rarity.
- You no longer own the digital player card or the digital player card is no longer your DraftKings wallet.
Reserving entries
The reserve entry feature is not available for Reignmakers contests at this time.
Tiebreakers
In the event of a tie for any position in a contest between two (2) or more participants, the edition numbers of the Reignmakers digital player cards used in a participant’s lineup will be used as a tiebreaker. The edition number for each Reignmakers digital player card in a participant’s lineup will be added up, and the participant with the lower sum of edition numbers will be deemed the winner.
Example: In the event two (2) participants finish a contest with the same number of points, and the participants selected the Reignmakers digital player cards with the edition counts in the table below, Participant A will be deemed the winner, as the total edition count of their lineup (126) is less than the total edition count of Participant B’s lineup (166).
In the event a participant’s lineup has open positions, an edition number of ten thousand (10,000) will be used as the edition number for each open position in the participant’s lineup for purposes of tie breakers. Given a tie in a tie breaker, the related prize pool positions for such tied positions will be evenly split among each of the tied participants.
Example:
- If the prize for first place is two hundred dollars ($200).
- The prize for second place is one hundred dollars ($100).
- If two (2) participants tie for first place and have the same sum of edition numbers in their respective lineups, the prizes for first place and second place will be combined and split equally between them.
- Meaning each of the two (2) tied participants will get one hundred and fifty dollars ($150).
- Except as otherwise set forth in a contest’s details page, in the event of a tie in the tie breaker and the prize pool for the tied positions involves prizes that be divided between the tied participants (e.g. an digital player card or an autographed bat), the prizes that be divided won't be awarded to any participant. Rather, a dollar amount equal to the approximate retail value of such prizes will be split between the participants tied after the tie breaker.
Contest entry limits
Many Reignmakers contests will allow for multiple entries where participants can submit multiple unique lineups to the same contest. The max number of entries will be displayed on the contest lobby cell and in the contest details information.
Injuries, Cuts, Trades & Retirements
Injured players
Offensive players (QB, RB, WR, TE & K) who don’t play in their game because of injury or any other reason won't earn any fantasy points in Reignmakers contests.
Defensive players will still record points for their team’s defense, even if the player is injured.
Cut players
Players who become free agents won't be included in the player pool for a Reignmakers contest. If a player becomes a free agent after the player pool was already created, they will remain on their original team for that contest, but they will not earn any fantasy points.
Note: Defensive players are included as well. Defensive players who are free agents won't earn fantasy points.
Traded players
The player image shown on a card will remain the same, regardless of what team they play for. If a player is traded, they will continue earning fantasy points on their new team as long as the card is still eligible for the given contest.
Retired players
Players who retire won't be included in the player pool for a Reignmakers contest. If a player retires after the player pool was already created, they will remain on their original team for that contest, but they will not earn any fantasy points.
Defensive players are included as well. Defensive players who have retired won't earn fantasy points.
Additional Notes
- If a player is released, and no longer attached to a team, they will not receive fantasy points
- Franchise Score allows customers to obtain points for owning cards of certain rarities or sets. These types of cards for retired or injured players will accumulate the same level of scoring as active players for this purpose. Cards in future years will also have additional use which may or may not include gameplay depending on the player’s status
Late swap rules
Lineups may be edited at any time leading up to games. Each individual Reignmakers player card will become "Locked" for a contest at the scheduled start time of the player's game. A Locked Reignmakers player card can’t be removed from a lineup. Locked lineup spots for all entries are displayed in the contest's Gamecenter, which can be accessed through the My Contests page, and clicking on the applicable contest.
In the event the scheduled start time for a game changes, DraftKings will take measures to ensure the change is reflected in Player Pools. Contingent upon a game starting before the scheduled start time, all Reignmakers player cards associated with that game will become Locked as soon as DraftKings' feed reflects that the game has begun. Any lineup changes that were made after the real-life start time of the game will result in those lineups being disqualified.
Selling cards in lineups
Subject to a participant selling or transferring a Reignmakers player card that's included in their contest lineup prior to such Reignmakers player card becoming Locked (as defined in the Lineup Edits section), such Reignmakers player card will be removed from that participant's lineup and must be replaced with another Reignmakers player card from the Player Pool. In the event a participant doesn't replace the removed player card, except as set forth in next paragraph, the lineup will still be valid; however, the participant will receive zero (0) points for the vacant lineup position. If a participant sells or transfers a Reignmakers player card that's included in their contest lineup after such Reignmakers player card is locked, the Reignmakers player card will remain in the participant's lineup notwithstanding the sale or transfer.
Each “individual Reignmakers player card” (defined as the same player card from the same series, set, and rarity tier with the same serial number) be included in more than one (1) lineup per customer account, per “Football Week” (the Football Week starts on Thursday and ends on Wednesday), irrespective of whether the individual Reignmakers player card was sold or transferred after being included in an entered lineup and then was later reacquired by the same participant.
In the event a participant has included an individual Reignmakers digital player card in any entered lineup, the participant must remove that Individual Reignmakers player card from the entered lineup before the participant can use it in a different lineup during the same Football Week. Should a participant include an individual Reignmakers player card in more than one (1) contest entry in the same Football Week, only the first lineup utilizing the individual Reignmakers player card will be valid; and all other entries utilizing the individual Reignmakers player card will be invalid and ineligible for prizing.
State eligibility rules
Reignmakers contests can be joined by anyone in the United States and Canada, with the exception of those in the following states or provinces:
PA, CT, HI, ID, MT, NV, OR, WA, parts of LA and Ontario

Multi-year card utility
You own the digital Reignmakers player cards collected for as long as you want to hold onto them. They'll also have some future year utility in Reignmakers football after the 2022 football season. While the primary focus of Reignmakers Football rewards will always be on the current season’s collection, utility of past season cards will be provided in several forms.
1. Reignmakers football No-fee Fantasy Games for past season player cards
No-fee Contests will be offered where player cards from prior seasons can be used to compete for and win prizes, with a focus on winning current season player cards and other prizes.
2. Reignmakers football Paid Leagues for past season player cards
Public Contests will be offered that include an entry fee to play, where player cards from prior seasons can be used to compete for and win a share of the prize pool. Private paid contests will also be available.
3. Franchise Score credit
Prior season player cards will give some level of credit towards a participant’s current season’s Franchise Score, helping them compete for season-long prizes.
4. Missions and Achievements
Periodically we will offer Missions and Achievements that reward holding prior season digital player cards in a participant's collection.
5. Exchange prior year cards for current season benefits
Holders of prior year player cards will be able to elect to surrender, or “burn”, prior year player cards in order to gain certain upgrades or benefits that can help in the current season’s games.
6. Marketplace support
Prior season player cards will continue to be supported in the DraftKings Marketplace for buying and selling.
Additional Notes
- The Rarity Tier will matter in future seasons’ utility. Guaranteed scarcity cards (ELITE, LEGENDARY, and REIGNMAKER) will have enhanced utility relative to CORE and RARE cards. In general, the higher the rarity tier, the better the future utility will be.
- The 2022 Field Pass has utility that ends at the conclusion of the 2022-23 football season. Field Pass holders, however, are eligible for a first right to renew that pass in 2023 at a “to be announced” cost.

Tiebreakers
In the event of a tie for any position in a contest between two (2) or more participants, the edition numbers of the Reignmakers digital player cards used in a participant’s lineup will be used as a tiebreaker. The edition number for each Reignmakers digital player card in a participant’s lineup will be added up, and the participant with the lower sum of edition numbers will be deemed the winner.
Example: In the event two (2) participants finish a contest with the same number of points, and the participants selected the Reignmakers digital player cards with the edition counts in the table below, Participant A will be deemed the winner, as the total edition count of their lineup (126) is less than the total edition count of Participant B’s lineup (166).
In the event a participant’s lineup has open positions, an edition number of ten thousand (99,999) will be used as the edition number for each open position in the participant’s lineup for purposes of tie breakers. Given a tie in a tie breaker, the related prize pool positions for such tied positions will be evenly split among each of the tied participants.
Example:
- If the prize for first place is two hundred dollars ($200).
- The prize for second place is one hundred dollars ($100).
- If two (2) participants tie for first place and have the same sum of edition numbers in their respective lineups, the prizes for first place and second place will be combined and split equally between them.
- Meaning each of the two (2) tied participants will get one hundred and fifty dollars ($150).
- Except as otherwise set forth in a contest’s Details page, in the event of a tie in the tie breaker and the prize pool for the tied positions involves prizes that be divided between the tied participants (e.g. an digital player card or an autographed bat), the prizes that be divided won't be awarded to any participant. Rather, a dollar amount equal to the approximate retail value of such prizes will be split between the participants tied after the tie breaker.
Contest entry limits
Many Reignmakers contests will allow for multiple entries where participants can submit multiple unique lineups to the same contest. The max number of entries will be displayed on the contest lobby cell and in the contest details information.
Late swap rules
Late swapping of players in your Reignmakers PGA TOUR lineups is not currently available. All cards will lock at the designated contest start time.
Card reusability in showdown contests

Selling cards in lineups
Subject to a participant selling or transferring a Reignmakers player card that's included in their contest lineup prior to such Reignmakers player card becoming Locked (as defined in the Lineup Edits section), such Reignmakers player card will be removed from that participant's lineup and must be replaced with another Reignmakers player card from the Player Pool. In the event a participant doesn't replace the removed player card, except as set forth in next paragraph, the lineup will still be valid; however, the participant will receive zero (0) points for the vacant lineup position. If a participant sells or transfers a Reignmakers player card that's included in their contest lineup after such Reignmakers player card is locked, the Reignmakers player card will remain in the participant's lineup notwithstanding the sale or transfer.
Each “individual Reignmakers player card” (defined as the same player card from the same series, set, and rarity tier with the same serial number) may not be included in more than one (1) lineup per customer account, per “PGA TOUR event schedule” , irrespective of whether the individual Reignmakers player card was sold or transferred after being included in an entered lineup and then was later reacquired by the same participant.
In the event a participant has included an individual Reignmakers digital player card in any entered lineup, the participant must remove that Individual Reignmakers player card from the entered lineup before the participant can use it in a different lineup during the same PGA TOUR scheduled event. Should a participant include an individual Reignmakers player card in more than one (1) contest entry in the same PGA TOUR event, only the first lineup utilizing the individual Reignmakers player card will be valid; and all other entries utilizing the individual Reignmakers player card will be invalid and ineligible for prizing.

Captain rules
The Captain position may only be filled with a UFC player card with a rarity level equal to or higher than the rarity level associated with the contest.
For example, in a Rare level contest, a participant may only play a card in the Captain position if it has a rarity level of Rare, Elite, Legendary, or Reignmaker.
Further, the Captain will score 1.5X fantasy points for your lineup
Other entry requirements
Card Set Requirements
Player cards are associated with different named sets which impact the visual display of a card and the edition counts. Contests may be created that require you draft player cards from a specific card set.
Specialty Contests
Throughout the UFC event schedule, DraftKings may offer contests that have differing roster constructions or entry requirements.
Card eligibility rules
Not seeing some of your digital player cards? There are a few reasons why you may not see some of your player cards for this contest:
- The fighter on your card does not have a scheduled event in the contest.
- The player card is being played in another active lineup.
- The fighter’s card rarity or set isn't playable in the contest. Check the contest details to see what digital player cards can be played in the contest.
- You no longer own the digital player card or the player card is no longer in your DraftKings wallet.
Removed fighters and canceled fights
The fighter will receive a “0” but will still be eligible to be played within Fight Night contests. A lineup with a scratched fighter included would still be eligible for payouts. If a fighter is scratched prior to 12pm ET on the Friday leading up to the event and a replacement fighter is announced, users holding the scratched fighter will receive an airdrop of the replacement fighter. If a replacement fighter is not announced, the fight is canceled, or a fighter is scratched after the 12pm ET deadline, holders of the scratched fighter card will receive a ticket to a $5,000 make-good DFS contest. In the contest, there will be one entry ticket available per eligible scratched fighter card.
Reserving entries
The reserve entry feature is not available for Reignmakers contests at this time.
Tiebreakers
In the event of a tie for any position in a contest between two (2) or more participants, the edition numbers of the Reignmakers digital player cards used in a participant’s lineup will be used as a tiebreaker. The edition number for each Reignmakers digital player card in a participant’s lineup will be added up, and the participant with the lower sum of edition numbers will be deemed the winner.
Example:
- In the event two (2) participants finish a contest with the same number of points, and the participants selected the Reignmakers digital player cards with the edition counts in the table below, Participant A will be deemed the winner, as the total edition count of their lineup (126) is less than the total edition count of Participant B’s lineup (166).
In the event a participant’s lineup has open positions, an edition number of ten thousand (10,000) will be used as the edition number for each open position in the participant’s lineup for purposes of tie breakers. Given a tie in a tie breaker, the related prize pool positions for such tied positions will be evenly split among each of the tied participants.
Example:
- If the prize for first place is two hundred dollars ($200).
- The prize for second place is one hundred dollars ($100).
- If two (2) participants tie for first place and have the same sum of edition numbers in their respective lineups, the prizes for first place and second place will be combined and split equally between them.
- Meaning each of the two (2) tied participants will get one hundred and fifty dollars ($150).
- Except as otherwise set forth in a contest’s Details page, in the event of a tie in the tie breaker and the prize pool for the tied positions involves prizes that be divided between the tied participants (e.g. an digital player card or an autographed bat), the prizes that be divided won't be awarded to any participant. Rather, a dollar amount equal to the approximate retail value of such prizes will be split between the participants tied after the tie breaker.
Contest entry limits
Many Reignmakers contests will allow for multiple entries where players can submit multiple unique lineups to the same contest. The max number of entries will be displayed on the contest lobby cell and in the contest details information.
Late swap rules
Late swapping of players in your Reignmakers UFC lineups is not currently available. All cards will lock at the designated contest start time.
Selling cards in lineups
Subject to a participant selling or transferring a Reignmakers player card that's included in their contest lineup prior to such Reignmakers player card becoming Locked (as defined in the Lineup Edits section), such Reignmakers player card will be removed from that participant's lineup and must be replaced with another Reignmakers player card from the Player Pool. In the event a participant doesn't replace the removed player card, except as set forth in next paragraph, the lineup will still be valid; however, the participant will receive zero (0) points for the vacant lineup position. If a participant sells or transfers a Reignmakers player card that's included in their contest lineup after such Reignmakers player card is locked, the Reignmakers player card will remain in the participant's lineup notwithstanding the sale or transfer.
Each “individual Reignmakers player card” (defined as the same player card from the same series, set, and rarity tier with the same serial number) be included in more than one (1) lineup per customer account, per “UFC event schedule” , irrespective of whether the individual Reignmakers player card was sold or transferred after being included in an entered lineup and then was later reacquired by the same participant.
In the event a participant has included an individual Reignmakers digital player card in any entered lineup, the participant must remove that Individual Reignmakers player card from the entered lineup before the participant can use it in a different lineup during the same UFC scheduled event. Should a participant include an individual Reignmakers player card in more than one (1) contest entry in the same UFC event, only the first lineup utilizing the individual Reignmakers player card will be valid; and all other entries utilizing the individual Reignmakers player card will be invalid and ineligible for prizing.

Craft and Burn
What is Craft & Burn?
Craft & Burn is a feature that allows you to craft exciting new rewards by burning collectibles you own in your DraftKings portfolio. Each Craft & Burn recipe has a set of required collectibles, and once you have filled each requirement slot you can submit those collectibles to be burned in return for crafting a specific reward. Submitted collectibles will be permanently removed from your DraftKings portfolio and burned, thereby being removed from the circulating supply for that collectible.
Where can I find the Craft & Burn lobby?
All Reignmakers Craft & Burn recipes will be available under the “My Cards” page. Go to “My Cards” and then select the “Craft & Burn” option in the navigation to view all available recipes.
You can also view directly by clicking this link.
From Marketplace, the Craft & Burn lobby can be accessed by clicking the flame icon on the right hand side of your Portfolio.
What is a Craft & Burn recipe?
A Craft & Burn recipe is the name given to the individual challenges that require collectibles as burn inputs and rewards as outputs. Complete the recipe to receive your reward.
How do I complete a crafting recipe?
Each crafting recipe requires you to add one or more collectibles from your DraftKings Marketplace Portfolio and then exchange them to receive your reward.
To complete a crafting recipe, you must add eligible editions for all of the inputs shown on the recipe page. Then confirm you want to burn your collectibles in exchange for your reward. When you submit your collectibles to be burned, those collectibles will be permanently removed from your Marketplace portfolio.
What are crafting requirements?
Each crafting recipe has a required number of inputs you’ll need to fill out before completing and receiving the recipe reward. The number of inputs for completion may vary across different recipes.
Each input has specific requirements that are tied to the properties of your collectibles. Every input is tied to a specific NFT collection and then the metadata properties define the remainder of requirements that can be included.
In the example screenshot above, the input requirements would be that the Reignmakers card must be:
- From the 2022 Football Collection
- From any RM rarity tier
- From the Genesis, Elevate or Playoffs set
- A running back or wide receiver
What are crafting tokens?
2023 Reignmakers Football Crafting Tokens can be used to complete 2023 Craft & Burn Recipes. 2023 Crafting Tokens will be usable in Craft & Burn Recipes until 2/11/2024. Unused 2023 Crafting Tokens, as of 2/11/2024, will not be usable in recipes beyond that date. As with all digital collectibles that a user submits in a Craft & Burn Recipe, the Crafting Token will be permanently removed from a user’s Marketplace portfolio and burned.
How do I acquire crafting tokens?
How does the rarity of crafting tokens work?
Each crafting token has an assigned rarity tier and those rarity tiers mimic the Reignmakers game. There are tokens available at the Core, Rare, Elite, Legendary and Reignmaker tiers.
Crafting tokens are eligible to be used ONLY at their assigned rarity tier. This means, for example, an Elite crafting token can only be used in a recipe that requires an Elite token and not in recipes that require Rare or Core (lower rarity) tokens.
Why can’t I see an eligible Reignmakers card as available in a crafting recipe?
There are a few possible reasons why you wouldn’t see a Reignmakers card in a crafting recipe, despite it meeting the input requirements:
- The card is drafted in an upcoming or live Reignmakers contest. Withdraw the entry or swap the card out of your lineup and it should become eligible.
- The card is listed for sale on the secondary market. Delist your card and you should be able to add it to the recipe.
- You no longer own the card.
What do I do if I don’t own any eligible collectibles for a recipe?
If you don’t own any eligible collectibles to use within a crafting recipe, you can purchase eligible collectibles directly from the recipe screen.
Simply click the “Buy an eligible collectible” button to pull up a list of collectibles that could be placed into the given input and complete your purchase to continue adding the collectible to the recipe.
Bulk Entry Upload
What is the bulk entry upload tool?
The bulk entry upload tool allows you to create a large number of lineups and upload them directly into Reignmakers contests. Just download the CSV template, create your lineups within the CSV and upload it back into the Reignmakers site.
How does it work?
The lineup upload tool allows you to upload many entries in one file and automatically submit those entries into contests. Below is a step by step description of how to use the tool.
STEP 1: DOWNLOADING A TEMPLATE
To start, you’ll need to download a CSV template so you can access your eligible cards and the eligible contests tied to a specific game slate. A game slate is a group of games or single game for which there are Reignmakers contests available. For example, a Sunday 1 PM & 4 PM game football contest slate exists each week.
- Choose a sport
- Choose a game format
- Choose a game slate
- Download the template CSV
.png)
The downloaded CSV template will include:
- A blank section with positional headers and a column for contest ID. This is where you’ll fill out your entries.
- A section with all cards you own that are eligible for the game slate you chose. This is where you’ll find the unique ID used to map your cards to a lineup You’ll also find all relevant information for each card you own that is eligible, including if it is in use in another entry at the time of download.
- A section with all contests for the given game slate you have chosen This is where you’ll find the contest IDs that can be used to map your lineups to a specific Reignmakers contest.
STEP 2: FILLING OUT YOUR CSV
Once you’ve downloaded a template CSV, you can begin the process of placing unique IDs for your cards into the corresponding cells for each lineup you want to create.
Each row in the blank lineup section represents a lineup. Each column represents a position, except for the first column which is where you’ll place the contest ID of the contest you want the lineup to be entered into.
Fill as many rows as lineups you would like to upload and return to the bulk entry page on the Reignmakers site to upload and enter your lineups.
STEP 3: UPLOADING YOUR CSV
Return to the bulk entry tool and upload your saved CSV into the upload section of the page.
.png)
After submission, all lineups will be shown on one page. Lineups will show as either successfully entered into a contest or unsuccessfully entered. You can also download the results of your upload to review any errors.

Why is my entry being rejected?
There are a number of reasons for why an entry might be rejected, all relating to the status of your card in your portfolio and/or its status as a playable game card. There are also times when the lineup as a whole violates game rules. See the list below for specific examples:
Card-level Failures:
A card is in use in another active entry
A card is no longer in your portfolio
A card is not eligible for the contest it is being uploaded into
A card is in the wrong position of the CSV upload
You are not using the correct unique ID for the card
Lineup-level Failures:
The lineup violates rarity rules for the given contest
The lineup violates card set rules for the given contest
The contest is gated on collectibles in your portfolio and you do not possess them, thus your entry is invalid
There are player position inaccuracies in the lineup and it is not valid
The lineup exceeds the max 1 superstar player rule (football)
Can I upload over my previously uploaded entries?
No, at this time you cannot upload over an existing entry. You’ll need to withdraw the entry/entries you are hoping to replace and then reupload. You can only upload if all cards referenced in the CSV are not in active entries.
