While we’re as thrilled as many of you are that sports are now returning, we recognize that every sport return is accompanied by unique challenges and uncertainties. With that fact in mind, we wanted to lay out our plans for how we intend to keep our fantasy contests fair and fun despite some of the curveballs that may be thrown our way.
