League handbook

The
Rules.

Set Your Lineup

  • The weekly contest will open on Wednesday morning for all managers.
  • You have until Sunday opening kickoff to set and submit your lineup.
  • $60,000 of fake money is allotted per manager to set the lineup of their choosing.
  • Players are only available for the Sunday daytime slate of games at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. CST. No Thursday, Sunday night, or Monday night games.

The FanDuel Fantasy app is only available in legal betting states. If you plan to travel out of state, set your lineup early or arrange for someone to set it for you. The app will not allow you to submit a lineup where sports betting is not legal.

Weekly Payment

  • $12 per week to play. $10 funds the weekly winner payouts and $2 goes into the bonus pot.
  • Weekly payouts go to the top five: 1st receives $75, 2nd $55, 3rd $35, 4th $25, and 5th $10. Take-home winnings are reduced by the $10 weekly entry.
  • All money is collected from losers and distributed to winners after the Super Bowl. A weekly spreadsheet will show every manager’s running total throughout the year.

Bonus Pot

  • The bonus pot is split between the top three managers based on Total Score over the full season.
  • The split is 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd, and 20% for 3rd. The total bonus pot is $828.
  • The $2 bonus fee is required for every week that is run.
  • Thanksgiving week has two contests: one for Thanksgiving Day and a separate contest for the weekend of Thanksgiving week.
  • Thanksgiving, the Divisional Round, Conference Championships, and Super Bowl use separate weekly contests distributed by the dictator because they are not available through the normal FanDuel league.
  • The Thanksgiving Day contest does not affect Total Season Score, but the $2 bonus fee still applies. The Divisional Round, Conference Championships, and Super Bowl count toward both the bonus and Total Season Score.

No Lineup Fine

  • If you do not set a lineup for any week during the FanDuel season, you will be fined an additional $10 on top of the normal $12 weekly entry.
  • All late fees are collected throughout the season and added to the bonus pot for the top three managers to split.
