Perfect Draft Contest Descriptions and Entry: At the start of the Promotion Periods, the Promotion invites participants to compete by completing a draft using our Perfect Draft tool and submitting it into the Promotion.
- General. The objective of the Promotion is to accumulate the most points by drafting the best possible roster of players based on players' performance during the 2023/2024 NFL season.
- How to pick your players. Participants in the Promotion will pick players in a simulated draft interface. The picks made by other teams in the draft will be determined by a computer algorithm.
- Scoring. Once the draft is completed, the Participant's team will be scored by determining the highest possible scoring lineup from their drafted roster of players for each week of the 2023/2024 fantasy football season (Weeks 1 through 17 of the 2023/2024 NFL season). Points will be awarded using an industry standard half-point-per-reception scoring system. Each starting lineup must fit the positional roster constraints of one (1) Quarterback, two (2) Running Backs, three (3) Wide Receivers, one (1) Tight End, one (1) additional player from the Running Back, Wide Receiver, or Tight End position (also known as a “FLEX” or “FLX” spot), and one (1) Defense and Special Teams (also known as a “DEF” or “DST”). These roster constraints are identified on the entry page at www.fantasypros.com/nfl/perfect-draft/. The scores from each of the Participant's weekly lineups will be combined to calculate their overall score. For the avoidance of doubt, weekly points totals for all players will match the points totals displayed at www.fantasypros.com/nfl/reports/leaders/.
- Number of Entries. Each Participant may play the Perfect Draft game an unlimited amount of times during the Promotional Period. However, for the purposes of the Promotion, only one entry may be submitted. Each Participant is eligible to win a maximum of one (1) prize during the Promotion Period. A separate, “Masters” leaderboard will also be displayed on the website. Scores displayed on the Masters leaderboard are not part of the Promotion and are not eligible to receive any Prize.
- Deadline. Entrants may continue to participate in the Promotion up until the end of the Promotion Period, at which point the entry will be “locked” for scoring purposes (the “Deadline”). To be eligible for the Promotion, entries must be submitted and recorded by FantasyPros prior to the Deadline. No prizes will be awarded for entries submitted or recorded after the Deadline for the Promotion Period.
- Prize Terms: The Prize(s) for the Promotion will be announced by FantasyPros no later than the beginning of the Promotion period. The winner(s) will be determined as described in the Perfect Draft Contest Descriptions and Entry section above. All costs and expenses associated with the acceptance and use of any Prizes which are not specifically described in the applicable Prize description as being provided by FantasyPros, including but not limited to federal, state, and local taxes (including income and withholding taxes), are the sole responsibility of the winner. All Prize details are at FantasyPros' sole discretion. Terms and conditions may apply to non-cash components of a Prize, as determined by the Prize supplier. The Promoter reserves the right to modify any or all of the prizes without notice.
- Winner Notification: Each potential winner will be notified by email within two (2) weeks following the conclusion of the Promotion. Participants are solely responsible for monitoring their email for Promotion-related notifications. In order to receive a Prize, potential winners may be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and (where legal) Publicity Release, and any other documents required by FantasyPros, within five (5) business days of date of issuance. The potential winner may also be required to submit his/her valid social security number and/or other identification to FantasyPros and may receive an IRS Form 1099 for any prizes valued at $600 or greater. If any Prize or Prize notification is returned as undeliverable or is declined, if FantasyPros is unable to contact a potential winner, if the potential winner does not timely respond to Prize notification or document requirements, or if a potential winner is not in compliance with these Official Rules, such potential winner will be disqualified and the Prize may be awarded to another eligible entrant. Prizes will be awarded only to the person named within the Promotion registration, regardless of whether that person is the authorized account holder of the email address specified within the Promotion registration (subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules).
