Select a roster format (9-player, 5-player, etc.)
-
Pick the slate
-
Define the game type (1-on-1)
-
List the contest as Public or Private (Private = Invite Only)
-
Indicate the entry fee amount
-
Review and confirm the details
-
Complete!
Public contests that are created will not appear in the Lobby until the creator has submitted at least one entry themselves.
Contests can only be created when accessing the platform via desktop browser environments. We hope to have this ability included in the mobile app soon.
All user generated contests follow a naming convention being:
<Entry Amount> <Sport> <Contest Size/Type> vs <Username of Creator>
Once you have created your contest, invite your friends or share to various social media channels by using the Invite Friends option. See our section on Invites and Sharing for more details.
If creating multiple contests simultaneously, you can only choose one lineup which would be entered into all contests that were generated. You can choose to go in and swap players, if you wish afterward.
Once you have created a contest and your lineup has been submitted you have committed to the contest. If a Non-GPP contest does not fill, it will be cancelled and entry fees refunded. Refer to GPP and Non-GPP DFS Contests for more details.
