Terms & Conditions
Welcome to the “FanDuel Single Entry Series, sponsored by RotoGrinders” (“Promotion”) by FanDuel. Here are the detailed rules for the Promotion:
Contest Structure
The Promotion will run for six weeks, starting at 12:01am ET on Monday, January 28, 2019 and ending at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, March 17, 2019 (“Promotion Period”), with each week during the Promotion Period being a “Qualifying Week”. The “First Qualifying Week” will start at 12:01am ET on Monday, January 28, 2019 and end at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, February 3, 2019. The “Second Qualifying Week” will start at 12:01am ET on Monday, February 4, 2019 and end at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, February 10, 2019. The “Third Qualifying Week” will start at 12:01am ET on Monday, February 11, 2019 and end at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, February 24, 2019. The “Fourth Qualifying Week” will start at 12:01am ET on Monday, February 25, 2019 and end at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, March 3, 2019.

The “Sixth Qualifying Week” will start at 12:01am ET on Monday, March 11, 2019 and end at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, March 17, 2019.
The Promotion will award prizes, based on the combination of a player’s top four scores (“Aggregate Score”) from the featured single entry contests (“Featured Contests”) he or she enters during a Qualifying Week. All Featured Contests are single entry contests and will be displayed in the lobby. Any instance of registering multiple accounts on FanDuel in order to gain more than one entry into a Featured Contest will result in automatic disqualification from the Featured Contest and the Promotion as well as potential suspension from FanDuel
At the end of each Qualifying Week, the player with the highest Aggregate Score for that week (“Finalist”) will win a seat to the Single Entry Series Championship contest taking place on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 (“Championship”). Additional prizes will be awarded to users based on Aggregate Score at the end of each Qualifying Week.
Players are only eligible for one seat into the Championship. If in a given week, the top finisher based on Aggregate Score has already won a seat to the Championship, that player will have his or her finishing position swapped with the 2nd place finisher based on Aggregate Score in that Qualifying Week.
Teams and Scoring
Standard FanDuel NBA scoring rules apply to all Featured Contests and the Championship. In the event of a tie for first place in a Qualifying Week based on Aggregate Score, the tying first place finishers will compete in a private NBA Head-to-Head or private league play-off contest. The winner of the play-off will receive the seat in the Championship. In the event of a tie in the Championship, tied participants will split the prizes for the tied finishing positions.
Single Entry Series Championship Structure and Prizing:
The Championship prize pool is $30,000 in cash, which will be awarded to Finalists according to their performance in the final Championship on April 13, 2019 as per the table below.

Finalists that have an active RotoGrinders account with their FanDuel username details linked to that account, will also be awarded with a trip package with an approximate retail value of $5,000 (“Trip Package”). Each Trip Package consists of a $1,000 airfare credit to be used in purchasing a round-trip plane ticket to Miami; three (3) nights of hotel accommodations; entry for two (2) to our Friday welcome reception on April 12th; and the Saturday Championship viewing party on April 13th (“Live Final”). Any difference between stated value and actual value will not be awarded. Airfare credit for Trip Package will be deposited in the Finalist’s account within 48 hours of winning the Trip Package. Finalist is responsible for booking and paying for his or her flight with the credit. FanDuel will not provide more cash than initially deposited; winner will be responsible for any excess travel costs.
Finalists that do not have an active RotoGrinders account with their FanDuel username details linked to that account will be ineligible to receive the Trip Package. Finalists will be notified within twenty four (24) hours of winning a seat in the Championship if they are ineligible for the Trip Package. Ineligible users will then be given twenty four (24) hours from receiving that communication to create an active RotoGrinders account and link their FanDuel details, or they will forfeit their Trip Package reward.
