will also allow you to create your own contests for you and your
friends.
How it Works

gameplay systems on the planet and have added a few "Fantasy firsts"
like our Cross Sport, Fantasy Point spread, 10k Grand Action, 25k Cash
Grab, and 50k Money Maker contests. We have gone to every length to make
sure your experience is as user-friendly as it can possibly be. Some
helpful "how-to" tips are below, and most sections have video
instruction links as well! If you still have questions we are happy to
help you further on our support page.

Entering Contests
Go to the
contest lobby
and click the contest name to view contest details (you can join the
contest from the details page) or just click the ENTER button on the
right side of a contest listing.
To more easily find a contest that suits you, use the handy contest
filters at the top of the lobby. You can filter by contest type (Salary
Cap, Point Spread, Cross Sport) or contest feature (Guaranteed,
Multi-Entry, Ticket entry, Voucher entry, Freeroll) as well as contest
start time, entry fee size and more.
How to edit my lineups
You may replace any player in your lineup up until the start time for the player's game, even if the contest has started!
- Go to the main menu bar and under "My Contests" choose the My lineups selection.
- From the lineups page, choose the lineup you'd like to edit and click the "Edit" button.
- Remove any players you wish by clicking the red "x" next to their names.
- Add in replacement players by clicking the ADD button next to the player names.
- Click the "Update Team" button to save your changes.
How to cancel an entry
There is no automatic way to cancel an entry, so as to minimize the
effect of contests cancelling because of missing entries. You may,
however, contact support to request an entry cancellation. If the
contest has filled or is close to starting we cannot cancel the entry.
Entry cancellation is solely at Fanpicks discretion.
How to view Live Scoring
Once your contest has started there are 2 ways to view live scoring.
- In
the contest lobby, any contests that you have entered and have started
have a "View" button on the right side. Just click View to see your
contest score live.
- In the My Contests menu, choose Live Contests and select the contests you'd like to view.
View contest results
Once contests have been played and finalized (this may take a little
while after all scheduled events in the contest have ended) you can go
to the My Contests menu and select Contest History to view your contest
results.
Creating Contests
You can create your own contests and send invites out to your friends.
- Go to the "My Contests" dropdown and select Create a contest.
- Choose league, entry fee, date / time, game type, salary cap amount, prize structure..
- You may choose to make the league public (anyone can join), or private (passworded) where you can invite your friends to join.
- If you have any trouble creating a contest, just ask support.
