Terms & Conditions

Structure

Welcome to the 2024 World Fantasy Basketball Championship (“WFBBC” or “Promotion”). The WFBBC consists of a series of qualifier contests (each a “WFBBC Qualifier” and collectively the “WFBBC Qualifiers”) and culminates with the WFBBC Finals contest Wednesday, March 20, 2024 (“WFBBC Finals”). Here are the detailed rules for the WFBBC.

Users may qualify for the WFBBC Finals by winning an entry via WFBBC Qualifiers. The WFBBC Finals will include a total of one hundred (100) seats. FanDuel will run WFBBC Qualifiers starting on October 24, 2023. Each WFBBC Qualifier will award at least one entry into the WFBBC Finals, though FanDuel reserves the right to run WFBBC Qualifiers that award more than one entry (each a “Mega Qualifier” and collectively, the “Mega Qualifiers”). In a Mega Qualifier the participants with the highest scoring entries will win an entry into the WFBBC Finals in accordance with the number of entries into the WFBBC Finals being offered in that particular Mega Qualifier. For example, if FanDuel announces that three entries into the WFBBC Finals will be awarded in a specific Mega Qualifier, then the three highest scoring entries in that Mega Qualifier will each win one entry into the WFBBC Finals. FanDuel also reserves the right to award entries into the WFBBC Finals in its own discretion.

In each WFBBC Qualifier, the participant whose team scores the most fantasy points will secure one entry into the WFBBC Finals (“Qualifier Winner”). Mega Qualifiers may award entry into the WFBBC Finals to multiple finishers (“Mega Qualifier Winners” and, collectively with Qualifier Winners, “Finalists”).

Teams and Scoring

Each WFBBC Qualifier, each Mega Qualifiers as well as the WFBBC Finals, will use standard FanDuel NBA rosters and scoring rules, as explained here: https://www.fanduel.com/rules.

In the event of a tie for a position that awards an entry into the WFBBC Finals in a WFBBC Qualifier or Mega Qualifier, the tied participants 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 WFBBC Finals, Mega Qualifiers or WFBBC Qualifiers) will result in the tied participants splitting the cash value of the prizes for the tied finishing positions.

Prizes

WFBBC Qualifiers and Mega Qualifiers Prizing: Each WFBBC Qualifier and Mega Qualifier will award an entry into the WFBBC Finals (estimated cash value of $25,000) to the first place finisher (or top eligible finishers for Mega Qualifiers). Any other prizes for WFBBC Qualifiers and Mega Qualifiers will be published in advance of users being able to enter such contests. Upon winning a WFBBC Qualifier or Mega Qualifier, Finalists will also receive a cash prize equal to the minimum possible payout for the WFBBC Finals (“Early Prize”). Should a Finalist be deemed ineligible for the WFBBC Finals, then he or she forfeits any right to receive any Early Prize.

The prize for each Finalist includes one (1) entry into the WFBBC Finals contest on Wednesday, March 20, 2024

Participants are only eligible to win a maximum of seven (7) entries into the WFBBC Finals. Once a participant wins seven entries into the WFBBC Finals, he/she is ineligible to win any additional entries into the WFBBC Finals. Any participant who enters a lineup in a WFBBC Qualifier or Mega Qualifier that finishes in a position to win an entry into the WFBBC Finals but would result in the participant having an excess of seven (7) entries into the WFBBC Finals will be awarded the cash value of the entry into the WFBBC Finals in lieu of winning another seat in the WFBBC Finals.

WFBBC Finals Prizing: The first place finisher in the WFBBC Finals will receive a cash prize of Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). All other prizes for the WFBBC Finals will be published when the first WFBBC Qualifiers are created. Any Early Prize paid out to Finalists will be deducted from any prizes won in the WFBBC Finals.
