Structure
Welcome to the 2021 FantaSEA Finals, which consists of a FantaSEA Finals championship contest
("FantaSEA Finals Championship") and live events in Miami, Florida (collectively, the
"FantaSEA Finals"). The FantaSEA Finals Championship will take place in Miami, Florida on
Sunday, July 11, 2021.
Here are the detailed rules for the FantaSEA Finals.
Players may qualify for the FantaSEA Finals by winning an entry via FantaSEA Finals Qualifiers. The
FantaSEA Finals will include a total of seventy-five (75) entries. FanDuel will run FantaSEA Finals
Qualifiers starting on April 6, 2021. Each FantaSEA Finals Qualifier will award at least one entry to the
FantaSEA Finals, though FanDuel reserves the right to run FantaSEA Finals Qualifiers that award more than
one entry ("Super Qualifiers" and, collectively with FantaSEA Finals Qualifiers,
"Qualifiers"). FanDuel also reserves the right to award entries into the FantaSEA Finals through
other promotions in its own discretion.
In each FantaSEA Finals Qualifier, the entrant whose team scores the most fantasy points will secure
one entry into the FantaSEA Finals Championship ("Qualifier Winner"). Super Qualifiers may award
entry into the FantaSEA Finals to multiple finishers ("Super Qualifier Winners" and,
collectively with Qualifier Winners, "Finalists"). In a Super Qualifier the participants with
the highest scoring entries will win an entry to the FantaSEA Finals in accordance with the number of
entries into the FantaSEA Finals being offered in that particular Super Qualifier. For example, if FanDuel
announces that three entries into the FantaSEA Finals will be awarded in a specific Super Qualifier, then
the three highest scoring entries in that Super Qualifier will each win one entry to the FantaSEA
Finals.
The prize for each Finalist includes one (1) entry into the FantaSEA Finals Championship on Sunday, July
11, 2021; and a trip package consisting of $1,000 airfare and transportation credit, three (3)
nights' accommodations for two (2) people, and entry for two (2) people to the following events: the
FantaSEA Finals Welcome Reception on Saturday, July 10, 2021; and the FantaSEA Finals live final viewing
party on Sunday, July 11, 2021; (collectively, the "Trip Package"). Approximate retail value of
the Trip Package is $7,500. Actual value depends on city/day/time of departure. Any difference between
stated value and actual value will not be awarded. Airfare credit will be deposited in Finalist's
account; Finalist is responsible for making all travel arrangements. The entry into the FantaSEA Finals
and Trip Package are non-transferable, except where noted otherwise in these terms and conditions.
Additional guests may be able to attend the Saturday and Sunday events, but will be subject to additional
charges. Entry for additional guests is NOT guaranteed and will be evaluated on an ongoing basis,
factoring in event capacity, overall group size, event space capacity, and catering & staffing
resources.
Participants are only eligible to win a maximum of five (5) entries into the FantaSEA Finals. Should
a participant win a second entry into the FantaSEA Finals through a Qualifier, they may choose between
receiving an additional transferable Trip Package (plane ticket, hotel accommodations, and a pair of
tickets to the viewing parties per entry) for an individual of his or her choosing OR a cash value option
of 60% of the trip package ($4,500). This choice shall also be offered to a participant winning a third,
fourth, or fifth entry. Once a participant wins five entries into the FantaSEA Finals, he/she is
ineligible to win any additional entries into the FantaSEA Finals. Any participant who enters a lineup in
a FantaSEA Finals Qualifier or Super Qualifier that finishes in a position to win an entry into the
FantaSEA Finals but would result in the participant having an excess of five (5) entries into the FantaSEA
Finals will be awarded the cash value of the entry into the FantaSEA Finals in lieu of winning another
seat in the FantaSEA Finals Championship, and will not be awarded any amount in lieu of the Trip
Package.
Additionally, should any finalist not feel comfortable attending the FantaSEA Finals in Miami, Florida,
they will have the right to opt out of the live experience and compete from home instead. Once opted out
of the FantaSEA Finals, the finalist would keep their entry into the FantaSEA Finals Championship, and
would receive the full cashout value for their first seat ($7,500). Any subsequent seats won by the
finalist will only be cashed out at the 60% value as noted above.
All requests to cash out a trip package must be submitted via writing on or before July 1, 2021. Any
cashout requests submitted after July 1, 2021 will not be accepted and any unused trip packages will be
forfeited.
FantaSEA Finals Teams and Scoring
Each Qualifier, as well as the FantaSEA Finals Championship, will use standard FanDuel NBA rosters
and scoring rules, as explained here:https://www.fanduel.com/rules.
In the event of a tie for an entry into the FantaSEA Finals in a Qualifier, the tied players will play
a one-day 'playoff' contest to determine finishing position. The playoff will be a Head-to-Head or
private league contest using standard FanDuel NBA rosters and scoring rules. All other ties (whether in
the FantaSEA Finals Championship or in a Qualifier) will result in the tied players splitting the prizes
for the tied finishing positions.
Prizes for the FantaSEA Finals and
Qualifiers
Each Qualifier will award an entry to the FantaSEA Finals (cash value of $6,777), and Trip Package
(retail value of $7,500) to the first place finisher (or top eligible finishers for Super Qualifiers). Any
other prizes for Qualifiers will be published in advance of participants being able to enter such
contests. Upon winning a Qualifier, Finalists will also receive a cash prize equal to the minimum possible
payout for the FantaSEA Finals Championship ("Early Prize"). Should a Finalist be deemed
ineligible for the FantaSEA Finals Championship, then he or she forfeits any right to receive any Early
Prize.
The first place finisher in the FantaSEA Finals Championship will receive a cash prize of $150,000.
All other prizes for the FantaSEA Finals Championship will be published when the first Qualifiers are
created. Any Early Prize paid out to Finalists will be deducted from any prizes won in the FantaSEA
Finals Championship.
Eligibility for FantaSEA Finals
All residents of the United States and Canada who comply with FanDuel's eligibility rules for paid
entry games in FanDuel's Terms of Use (https://www.fanduel.com/terms) and who complete and return to
FanDuel a signed copy of the FantaSEA Finals Affidavit of Eligibility by the deadline specified by FanDuel
are eligible to participate in Qualifiers and the FantaSEA Finals Championship. All participants must be

Championship. Participants physically located in Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, and

entry fantasy sports contests is lawful under Texas state law. Any otherwise eligible player who wins an
entry into the FantaSEA Finals Championship but who does not return the completed and signed FantaSEA
Finals Affidavit of Eligibility by the specified deadline will be disqualified, will forfeit the right to
receive an Early Prize and will have his or her finishing position swapped with the first eligible
runner-up from the corresponding Qualifier, in FanDuel's sole discretion. In other words, the
runner-up will be deemed the winner of the Trip Package and gain entry into the FantaSEA Finals
Championship, provided that the runner-up completes and returns to FanDuel a signed copy of the FantaSEA
Finals Affidavit of Eligibility. A copy of the FantaSEA Finals Affidavit of Eligibility can be viewed

address and social security details to be eligible for FantaSEA Finals Championship. These details will be
used to file a 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service for any players whose winnings on FanDuel

with this contest, including non-cash prizes.
Publicity for FantaSEA Finals Finalists

their full names, location and/or photos and videos will be used for marketing purposes. They also agree
to speak to bloggers and other journalists and media personnel where applicable prior to, during and after
the event, and they agree to participate in additional FanDuel marketing activities, all without
additional compensation. Any Finalist unprepared to adhere to this requirement will be disqualified and
have his or her finishing position swapped with the first eligible runner-up, in FanDuel's sole
discretion.
The FantaSEA Finals Live Final
The FantaSEA Finals Finalists will be given accommodations for the nights of July 9th, 10th, and 11th
in Miami, Florida. If a Finalist cannot make the trip due to circumstances that FanDuel, in its sole
discretion, deems extreme and outside the Finalists control, FanDuel may authorize the Finalist to
nominate one other person to attend the FantaSEA Finals in his or her place. However, the Finalist will
still be expected to fulfill his or her publicity obligations.
One ticket for guests to the Saturday, and Sunday events is included; there will be a fee for
additional guests, and space for additional guests at either event is not guaranteed.
