Eligibility
You must be 18 years of age or over as well as a resident of AND physically physically located in juristriction where fantasy sports is deemed legal to make a deposit or play in any Fan Draft Duel contest with an entry fee or prize. For further information regarding eligibility, please consult our official Terms of Use.
Multiple Accounts
Each player on Fan Draft Duel is allowed one account and “multi-accounting” is expressly prohibited. If Fan Draft Duel determines that you have opened, maintained, used or controlled more than one account, any or all of your accounts may be terminated or suspended and any prizes you’ve won may be revoked or withheld.
Suspended Accounts
There are a variety of behaviors that are detrimental to Fan Draft Duel and other players on the Service. Engaging in those behaviors may result in suspension of some or all functions associated with your account. Suspended players are expected to respect the disciplinary actions imposed on their accounts and all communication regarding restoration of your account should take place via the support@fandraftduel.com email account.
User Names
Fan Draft Duel may require users to change their user names in cases where the name is offensive or promotes a commercial venture. The requirement to change will be determined at Fan Draft Duel’s sole discretion, and if requests are ignored, Fan Draft Duel may unilaterally change a player’s user name.
Unfilled Contests
All open contests that are completed on Fan Draft Duel have a predetermined prize pool and number of entrants. Contests labeled as “Guaranteed” will always run and pay out regardless if the contest starts as unfilled However prize amounts listed may not be Guaranteed and may calculated based on the amont of players entered in the contest Some structured contests, however, require a specified number of participants. If that number of participants is not reached before the start of the contest, the contest will not take place and your entrance fee will be refunded. For example, a head-to-head challenge cannot take place without two willing competitors and a 10-person league will not be conducted with only 9 interested participants.
Contest Lock Times
Contests lock when the first game starts for that slate. That means no more entries and no more lineup changes. Let’s say you’re looking to join a Sunday NFL contest and the first game in which players are eligible for selection in that contest kicks off at 1pm EST that day. You’ll need to enter and make your last lineup change by 12:59pm – not a minute later. Any player found attemting to edit lineups after the start of a contest will have their account closed and any winnings forfieted
Postponed Games
Rules for how postponed games are treated in Fan Draft Duel contests vary depending on the sport and contest type. For NFL contests, you will receive points for any postponed games that are played no later than Wednesday of that week. For one day MLB contests,If at the start of a contest any game is postponed or delayed you will receive ZERO Pointsfor that game even if it resumes later on that same day.For Pickem games scoring will resume once the game is played the same day .If postponed for a later date you will recieve ZERO points . For one day NBA and NHL contests, you will NOT receive points for any postponed games that are played the next day.
Suspended Games
Rules for how suspended games are treated vary depending on the sport and game type. A game is considered suspended if it is unfinished, but to be completed in the future. At a minimum, the statistics compiled prior to the end of the contest period will count towards contests. For a suspended NFL game, you will receive points for the remainder of the game if it is played no later than Wednesday of that week. For one day MLB contests, if the game is suspended until a future date, points accumulated in the remainder of the game will not count towards contests. For one day NBA and NHL contests, you will NOT receive points for any postponed games that are played the next day.
Traded Players
Players being traded may impact contests that have already been created with the players on their old teams. Player team listings on Fan Draft Duel are updated once per day (overnight). Note that because contests are created as much as five or six days in advance, traded players may not be available in contests which include a game involving their new team, but not their old team. Also note that in some instances a player you selected may no longer be available in a contest which includes their old team, but not their new team. In that case, you’ll need to select a replacement or be credited with zero points for the player.
Note that on the day a player is traded, they may still be listed for their old team in the draft screen. If they are traded to another team which is part of the same contest in which you choose them, you will still receive points for their performance. These points may not be reflected accurately during live scoring, but will count at contest settlement time. Also note that contest settlement may be delayed in order to ensure accuracy.
Most importantly, please note that in very rare cases a player is traded early enough in the day that they are able to play for their new team. If they are traded from a team with a late game to a team with an early game, you may be able to select them in late contests, already knowing how they performed that day. In this situation, you will receive zero points for their performance.
Doubleheaders
Only one game of a doubleheader will count for Fan Draft Duel scoring. Players will only score points for the game which starts at the time listed in the contest details. This will typically (but not always) be the game at the originally scheduled time.
Scripts
Use of unauthorized scripts is prohibited on Fan Draft Duel. Authorized scripts will be made available through Fan Draft Duel and will be accessible to all users prior to game entry.
Withdrawals
You can withdraw your money at any time, subject to anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing. For all withdrawals we require a valid PayPal account Withdraw link on your account dropdown or in your My Account section. Enter the amount you wish to withdraw, along with payee information. PayPal requests will be processed within 48 hours,. We conduct anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a withdrawal.
In cases where you have received a bonus or other benefits as a result of your deposit and have not yet played through the deposit (entering contests whose total entry fees equal the value of the deposit), Fan Draft Duel reserves the right to refuse the withdrawal and/or close your account.
Deposits
You may deposit money into your Fan Draft Duel account using Paypal or a Visa credit card (other cards such as MasterCard and American Express can be used via Paypal). If you’re having any problems depositing money then get in touch and we’ll deal with the issue as soon possible.
Contest Settlement and Payment
We try to settle contests and run payments as quickly as possible, but must ensure we do so accurately. Most contests are settled shortly after the last game finishes. However, to settle we have to wait until all the player statistics have been reported by our third party stats provider. This lets us ensure that the final box scores are complete. Please note there can sometimes be last minute changes. If there is difficulty obtaining official results or issues with scoring, the contest may be settled the following day.
Scoring Revisions
During the game we receive live scoring from our stats provider. After the game has ended they pass us a final box score for the game. After we receive and confirm the box scores for all the day’s games we then settle all entries. However, very rarely, the leagues and stats provider revise the box scores after the final box score has been released. In the event of this occurring the player scores on Fan Draft Duel will not be updated and the settlements will not be revised. Note that this is not the same situation as a case where a correction needs to be made after settlement due to a problem with the data feed or the settlement process. In these cases the settlement process (including payment) may be reversed and games resettled correctly.
Service Access and Editing Problems
While we try to ensure that Fan Draft Duel is functioning smoothly at all times, like any online service we may periodically experience periods of outage or slow performance. These can sometimes result in an inability to access the Service, problems editing lineups, or problems entering new contests. If you’re unable to access the Service, please report the problems by emailing us at support@fandraftduel.com. If there are sustained periods where players are unable to access Service functionality, or otherwise prevented from editing lineups, or in certain other situations, we may provide instructions on how to cancel your entries over email prior to game time.
Contest Cancellation
Fan Draft Duel also reserves that right to cancel contests at our discretion, without any restrictions. This would typically be done only in cases where we believe that due to problems on the Service or events impacting the sporting events, there would be a widespread impact on the integrity of contests.
