Contest Structure

The Promotion will feature March to the Playoffs contests (“Featured Contests”) each day during the Qualifying Period. There will be a total of eight (8) Featured Contests. All Featured Contests will be Beat the Score contests with a $3 entry fee, and will be displayed in the lobby each day during the Qualifying Period.

At the end of each Featured Contest, the two players with the highest score in that Featured Contest will win an entry into the Playoffs (“Finalists”). Players are only eligible to win one entry into the Playoffs. If a user wins more than one spot in the Playoffs, their additional entry into the Playoffs will be awarded to the eligible user with the next highest score in that Featured Beat the Score contest.
Playoff Bracket Tournament
The Playoffs will be a 4 round, 16-person, single elimination bracket style contest that will begin on March 26, 2018 and end on April 2, 2018. Each round of the Playoffs will consist of a Head-to-Head contest (each a “Playoff Contest”) between the eligible Finalists.
