If you are found to be participating in the Contests using more than one Yahoo ID, such penalties may include, but are not limited to, disqualification from current and future Contests and forfeiture of Contest entry fee(s) or potential winnings.GAME RULES
How To Play:
Daily Fantasy
In addition to these rules, additional rules, instructions and guidelines regarding game play and scoring (which are fully incorporated into this Paid Fantasy TOS by reference) are listed in the Official Rules section below under “Official Daily Fantasy Rules”. In the event of a conflict between the Official Daily Fantasy Rules and the Paid Fantasy TOS, the Paid Fantasy TOS will control. For multi-round Contests, additional rules and details may apply and will be posted with such multi-round Contest.
Best Ball
In addition to these rules, additional rules, instructions and guidelines regarding game play and scoring (which are fully incorporated into this Paid Fantasy TOS by reference) are located at the Official Rules section below under “Official Best Ball Rules”. In the event of a conflict between the Official Best Ball Rules and the Paid Fantasy TOS, the Paid Fantasy TOS will control.
In order to be prize-eligible in Best Ball Contests, you must either edit your pre-draft rankings or manually make at least one pick during the draft. If you do not edit your pre-draft rankings or make at least one manual pick, you will not be eligible to win any prizes. Auto-draft is not allowed as an option during Best Ball drafts. If you disconnect from the draft we will make picks on your behalf, but you will not be prize eligible unless you make at least one pick (or have edited your pre-draft rankings). In addition, if your optimal lineup consists of players from less than three teams, you will not be eligible to win prizes.
Public Prize Leagues
In addition to these rules, additional rules, instructions and guidelines regarding game play and scoring (which are fully incorporated into this Paid Fantasy TOS by reference) are listed under the Official Rules section below under “Official Public Prize League Rules”. In the event of a conflict between the Official Public Prize League Rules and the Paid Fantasy TOS, the Paid Fantasy TOS will control.
In order to be prize-eligible in Public Prize League contests, you must make at least one draft pick, and either one adjustment to your starting lineup or one roster move during the season. In the event that a potential prize winner is deemed ineligible for any reason, the prize will be awarded to the next eligible participant in the League's final standings. Should such a substitution be necessary, the prize positions will be shifted proportionally. For example, if a potential second place prize winner is deemed ineligible, the third place finisher, if eligible, will be awarded the second place prize, the fourth place finisher, if eligible, will be awarded the third place prize, and so on. No winner will receive double prizes as the result of a higher-ranked participant being deemed ineligible.
Collusion in Public Prize Leagues is expressly prohibited. You may not collude with other managers to attempt to join the same league, or collude in any way throughout the season to stack or in any way provide an unfair advantage to one team or another.
Private Prize Leagues
Private Prize League Contests are private, custom leagues and the commissioner, in conjunction with Yahoo, may configure League Settings accordingly. Yahoo will administer the collection of entry fees and awarding of cash prizes but will not transmit funds on behalf of commissioners or Entrants.
Commissioner permissions and tools are restricted in Private Prize League Contests. Some commissioner tools are completely unavailable. Some become unavailable when the Commissioner has formally locked teams into the League or when teams can enter the draft (whichever comes first). Other commissioner tools are always available. See our help article for a complete list of Commissioners Tools and when they lock in Private Prize League Contests.
Commissioners may convert existing private leagues created to Private Prize Leagues so long as the league has not yet drafted. After a league has drafted, it may not convert to a Private Prize League unless the commissioner resets the draft and schedules a new draft for the league.
Private Prize League allows for different league sizes, from as few as 4 teams to as many as 20. In order for a Contest to run, the League must have the number teams listed in the League Settings. A Contest will not run unless all slots have been filled and paid. If your League does not fill up before its scheduled draft time, the draft will not take place. If the draft does not take place for this reason, the commissioner may reschedule the draft, cancel the Contest or delete the League (which automatically cancels the Contest). If a League is filled at the scheduled draft time but not all teams have paid the entry fee, the draft will proceed. However, all teams must pay by the deadline set by the commissioner or the Contest will be canceled.
If a Contest is cancelled, and all managers will be issued a refund to the payment method used for the Contest. The League in which the Contest was cancelled may still draft but the Contest associated with the League will be void.
In the event that a potential prize winner is deemed ineligible for any reason, the prize will be awarded to the next eligible participant in the League's final standings. Should such a substitution be necessary, the prize positions will be shifted proportionally. For example, if a potential second place prize winner is deemed ineligible, the third place finisher, if eligible, will be awarded the second place prize, the fourth place finisher, if eligible, will be awarded the third place prize, and so on. No winner will receive double prizes as the result of a higher-ranked participant being deemed ineligible.
In order to be prize-eligible in Private Prize League contests, you must make at least one draft pick, and either one adjustment to your starting lineup or one roster move during the season.
Matchup Challenges
In addition to these rules, additional rules, instructions and guidelines regarding game play and scoring (which are fully incorporated into this Paid Fantasy TOS by reference) are located at the Official Rules section below under “Official Matchup Challenges Rules”. In the event of a conflict between the Official Matchup Challenges Rules and the Paid Fantasy TOS, the Paid Fantasy TOS will control.
In order to participate in Matchup Challenges, you must make at least one manual draft pick during the draft. If you do not make at least one manual draft pick, you will not be eligible to participate in Matchup Challenges. In addition, if your lineup consists of players from less than three teams, your entry will be canceled.
Contest of Skill:
All Contests offered on Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy are contests of skill. Contest winners are determined using the criteria set forth in the posted rules for each Contest, and through the relative knowledge and skill of entrants to score the highest amount of Contest points from the accumulated statistical results of the performance of individual athletes in multiple real-world sporting events. All prizes offered are established and made known to entrants in advance of a Contest and the value of prizes is not determined by the number of entrants or the amount of any fees paid by those entrants. No Contests offered on Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy are based on the score, point spread, or any performance(s) of any single real-world team or any combination of such teams, or solely on any single performance of an individual athlete in any single real-world sporting or other event.
Contest Entry:
Contests on Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy will display an entry fee listed in US dollars. Once you select the Contest you wish to enter, your Yahoo Fantasy Sports account balance will be debited for the respective entry fee amount. Additional funds may be added to your Yahoo Fantasy Sports account at any time if you do not have enough funds to enter a Contest.
Certain Contests, such as Daily Fantasy Contests, may offer an entry reservation feature. These Contests will permit you to pay your entry fee to reserve a space in the Contest without completing your lineup. Once you reserve your entry in any Contest with this feature, your Yahoo Fantasy Sports account balance will be debited for the respective entry fee amount. If you do not return to your entry and submit a lineup before lineups lock, you will be awarded zero points in the Contest and your entry fee will not be refunded.
Contest Term:
The term and length of each individual Contest will depend on the professional sport related to that Contest, generally commencing and ending either on a single day, over the course of a week, or over the course of an entire season. The length of each individual Contest will be explicitly stated on its respective Contest page.
Prizes:
All prizes offered are established and made known to Contest entrants in advance of each Contest and are listed on each respective Contest page. Shortly following the conclusion of each Contest, Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy will display the list of potential Contest winners (subject to verification). These Contest results will not be changed due to any subsequent official adjustments of statistics by Yahoo’s data providers unless otherwise determined by Yahoo at its sole discretion. In the event of a tie in Yahoo Daily Fantasy or Yahoo Fantasy Best Ball, Yahoo will combine the winning prizes and evenly distribute the prizes to the tied entrants. For example, if three participants tie for 1st place, with 1st place winning $100, 2nd place winning $50, and 3rd place winning $30, each of the tied entrants will receive $60. Winners will have their prizes credited to their Yahoo Fantasy Sports account. For Public Prize Leagues and Private Prize Leagues, in the event of a tie in the Standings of two or more teams at the conclusion of the Fantasy Regular Season, or a matchup tie between two teams during the Fantasy Playoffs, the tie will be broken using the tiebreak formulas described in the Regular Season Tiebreak Rules and Playoff Tiebreak Rules articles, respectively.
All potential winners are subject to verification by Yahoo, and must meet all eligibility requirements before a prize will be awarded.
Prizes may not be transferred or assigned except by Yahoo. Only listed prizes will be awarded and no substitutions, equivalents or redemptions will be made. Expenses not specifically stated in this Paid Fantasy TOS, together with the reporting and payment of all applicable taxes, fees, and/or surcharges, if any, arising out of, or resulting from, acceptance or use of a prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner of that prize. A potential winner may be required to provide additional documentation (such as social security number) in order to comply with tax and other legal reporting requirements. Each winner may receive an IRS Form 1099 for the value of the prize awarded. As required by law in certain jurisdictions, Yahoo may withhold verified prize winnings from entrants with delinquent child support obligations. Contest Entities expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for injury or loss to any person or property relating to the delivery and/or subsequent use of the prizes awarded. Contest Entities make no representations or warranties concerning the appearance, safety, or performance of any prize awarded. Any unclaimed prizes will not be awarded. Restrictions, conditions, and limitations apply. Contest Entities will not replace any lost or stolen prize items.
Accessing Funds:
Cash deposits for entry fees and cash prize winnings are held by Yahoo in one or more separate, segregated accounts (each, a 'Segregated Account'). The funds held in the Segregated Account(s) do not belong to Yahoo or the Contest Entities and it is our intention and practice to take all reasonable actions to make sure that such funds are not available to creditors of Yahoo other than to players whose funds are held in the Segregated Account. Yahoo and the Contest Entities do not and will not commingle the funds in the Segregated Account with any other funds belonging to Yahoo or the Contest Entities. Yahoo and the Contest Entities do not and will not use the funds in the Segregated Account for its operating expenses or any other purpose. If you believe that funds in your Yahoo Fantasy Sports account have been misallocated, compromised or otherwise mishandled, you may contact us online using the 'Contact us' link in the footers of Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy websites, the “Help” section of the Yahoo Fantasy app or the Contact Us links below.
Entrants may access cash prize winnings and any cash deposits for entry fees (excluding bonuses and promotions) from their Yahoo Fantasy Sports account once funds have settled. Requests for access to funds will be honored by the later of five business days of the request or ten business days of the submission of any tax reporting documentation required by applicable law, unless Yahoo believes in good faith that the Entrant engaged in fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would cause Yahoo to be in violation of applicable law. Available funds will be credited directly into the Entrant's PayPal account, or such other means as Yahoo determines in its sole discretion. Please review the PayPal User Agreement for more information.
Bonuses and promotions may be offered by Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy from time-to-time. Any cash bonuses and promotions an entrant receives may not be available to access from your Yahoo Fantasy Sports account unless certain conditions are met as stated by the terms for each applicable bonus, or promotion.
