- Operation of the Contest
- Each round of the Contest will be held online on the dates indicated in Section A.1, above. The First Round, the Quarterfinals, and the Semifinals will be administered and scored according to DraftKings NBA Classic contest rules. The Final will be administered and scored according to DraftKings NBA Showdown contest rules. In the event of any conflict between these Rules and the NBA Classic contest or Showdown contest rules, these Rules will govern. The Contest will be played online on DraftKings.com and/or the DraftKings DFS mobile application. The Game Set for each round of the Contest will include the players and results of NBA in-season tournament games taking place on the applicable Contest dates, to be selected by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion. Usage of the DraftKings Late Swap feature will be permitted in the First Round, the Quarterfinals, and the Semifinals.
- For the First Round, each Contestant will be assigned as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion to a group of five (5) Contestants (each, a “Group”). There will be a total of six (6) Groups in the First Round. As noted in Section A.1, the First Round will be conducted across seven (7) different dates. On each Contest date for the First Round, Contestants within each Group will compete against each other in an NBA Classic contest. There will be a total of seven (7) NBA Classic contests for each Group in the First Round (i.e. one such contest for each Group on each date of the First Round). Based on the results of each such contest, the Contestants in each Group will accumulate points based on their finishing position in accordance with the below:
| First Place | 5 points |
| Second Place | 4 points |
| Third Place | 3 points |
| Fourth Place | 2 points |
| Fifth Place | 1 point |
- In the event of a tie in any individual NBA Classic contest held as part of the First Round, then the point totals in the table above for the tied positions will be combined and split evenly among the tied Contestants. For example, in the event two (2) Contestants tie for first (1st) place in any individual NBA Classic contest held as part of the First Round, then the points awarded for first place and second place would be combined and split equally between the two (2) tied Contestants, and each of the tied Contestants would receive 4.5 points.
- Eight (8) total Contestants from the first round will advance to the Quarterfinals. At the end of the First Round, the total number of points accumulated by each Contestant in accordance with the above table based on each Contestant’s finishing position in each of the seven (7) NBA Classic contests that comprise the First Round will be added together, and the following Contestants will advance to the Quarterfinals: the Contestant with the most points in each Group (six (6) total Contestants), and the two (2) highest scoring Contestants who did not win their Group. In the event a tiebreaker is necessary to determine which of two (2) or more tied Contestants will advance to the Quarterfinal, there will be a playoff contest, the details of which (including any tiebreak mechanisms or procedures to be used in the event of a tie in the playoff) will be determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, between the tied Contestants to determine the Contestant who qualifies for the Quarterfinals.
- The eight (8) Contestants who advance to the Quarterfinals will compete against each other to determine who advances to the Semifinals. As noted in Section A.1, the Quarterfinals will be conducted across two (2) different dates (December 10 and 11, 2024). On each Contest date for the Quarterfinals, the eight (8) remaining Contestants will compete against each other in an NBA Classic contest. There will be a total of two (2) NBA Classic contests in the Quarterfinals (i.e. one such Contest on each date of the Quarterfinals). Based on the results of each such contest, Contestants in the Quarterfinals will accumulate points based on their finishing position in accordance with the below:
| First Place | 8 points |
| Second Place | 7 points |
| Third Place | 6 points |
| Fourth Place | 5 points |
| Fifth Place | 4 points |
| Sixth Place | 3 points |
| Seventh Place | 2 points |
| Eighth Place | 1 point |
- In the event of a tie in any individual NBA Classic contest held as part of the Quarterfinals, then the point totals in the table above for the tied positions will be combined and split evenly among the tied Contestants. For example, in the event two (2) Contestants tie for first (1st) place in any individual NBA Classic contest held as part of the Quarterfinals, then the points awarded for first place and second place would be combined and split equally between the two (2) tied Contestants, and each of the tied Contestants would receive 7.5 points.
- Four (4) total Contestants from the Quarterfinals will advance to the Semifinals. At the end of the Quarterfinals, the total number of points accumulated by each Contestant in accordance with the above table based on each Contestant’s finishing position in each of the two (2) NBA Classic contests that comprise the Quarterfinals will be added together, and the following Contestants will advance to the Semifinals: the four (4) Contestants with the highest point totals. In the event two (2) or more Contestants tie for 4th place in the Quarterfinals, there will be a playoff contest between the tied Contestants, the details of which (including any tiebreak mechanisms or procedures to be used in the event of a tie in the playoff) will be determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine who will receive the final entry for the Semifinals. The winner of such playoff contest will receive the final entry for the Semifinals, and the remaining Contestants will receive the Prize for their finishing position in the Contest, beginning with 5th place. By way of example only, if three (3) Contestants tie for 4th place in the Quarterfinals, there will be a playoff contest between those three (3) Contestants, and the winner will qualify for the Semifinals, second place will receive the Prize for the 5th finishing position, and third place will receive the Prize for the 6th finishing position.
- The four (4) Contestants who advance to the Semifinals will compete against each other in an NBA Classic contest to determine who advances to the Final. Two (2) Contestants will advance to the Final. Of the four (4) Contestants who advanced to the Semifinals, the top (2) Contestants from the Semifinals will advance to the Final. In the event two (2) or more Contestants tie for second place in the Semifinals, there will be a playoff contest between the tied Contestants, the details of which (including any tiebreak mechanisms or procedures to be used in the event of a tie in the playoff) will be determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine who will receive the final entry for the Final. The winner of such playoff contest will receive the final entry for the Final, and the remaining Contestants will receive the Prize for their finishing position in the Contest, beginning with third (3rd) place. By way of example only, if three (3) Contestants tie for second place in the Semifinals, there will be a playoff contest between those three (3) Contestants, and the winner will qualify for the Final, second place will receive the Prize for the 3rd finishing position, and third place will receive the Prize for the 4th finishing position.
- The two (2) finalists who advance to the Final will compete against each other in an NBA Showdown contest to determine who wins the Contest. The winner of the Contest will be the Contestant in the Final whose lineup scores the most points.
- Scoring between rounds of the Contest is not cumulative.
- In connection with the First Round, Quarterfinals and Semifinals, in the event that all or any part of the NBA games comprising the Game Set for the applicable round of the Contest is canceled, postponed, suspended, or delayed and cannot be completed on the originally scheduled date, DraftKings may reschedule, delay, postpone, alter, or modify the applicable Contest round in its sole and absolute discretion to accommodate the start or completion of such Game Set, or even cancel or vacate the Contest. In the event the Game Set for the First Round, Quarterfinals, or Semifinals cannot be completed within an appropriate time (as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion) after the Game Set for the applicable round of the Contest has begun, DraftKings reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to vacate the results and scoring of the affected and unfinished Game Set, select substitute NBA games as the new Game Set, and replay the affected Contest round on another date (with no carryover, scoring, points, or results from the vacated Game Set). In the event that NBA games cannot be used or completed for the First Round, Quarterfinals, or Semifinals, DraftKings also reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to utilize other professional sporting events for which DraftKings customarily offers daily fantasy sports contests as the Game Set. DraftKings uses official NBA statistics and only includes statistics from NBA games deemed to be official. For clarity, in the event the NBA officially shortens and finalizes the games comprising the Game Set for the First Round, Quarterfinals, or Semifinals for any reason, DraftKings reserves the right to use the statistics that are generated for the portion of the games that has been completed to settle the applicable Contest round and render it final, as set forth in the NBA Classic contest rules.
- In connection with the Final, in the event that the NBA game comprising the Game Set for the Final is canceled, postponed, suspended, or delayed and cannot be completed within the originally scheduled date, DraftKings may reschedule, delay, postpone, alter, or modify the Final in its sole and absolute discretion to accommodate the start or completion of such Game Set, or even cancel or vacate the Contest. In the event the Game Set for the Final cannot be completed within an appropriate time (as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion) after the Game Set for the Final has begun, DraftKings reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to vacate the results and scoring of the affected and unfinished Game Set, select a substitute NBA game as the new Game Set, and replay the Final on another date (with no carryover, scoring, points, or results from the vacated Game Set). In the event that the NBA game comprising the Game Set cannot be completed, DraftKings also reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to utilize other professional sporting events for which DraftKings customarily offers daily fantasy sports contests as the Game Set. DraftKings uses official NBA statistics and only includes statistics from NBA games deemed to be official. For clarity, if the NBA game comprising the Game Set for the Final is suspended, DraftKings reserves the right to count all statistics generated before the game is suspended, and not count any statistics generated on a later date, as set forth in DraftKings NBA Showdown contest rules.
- For all dates, locations, times, and quantities that are identified in these rules as “TBD” or “to be determined”, DraftKings will update these Rules to include the to be determined information once it is fully and finally determined by DraftKings, and all Contestants consent to DraftKings updating these Rules to include such information once it has been so determined.
- Contest Winner and Prizes
- Prizes will be awarded to the top eight (8) finishing positions. The prizes for the Contest (each, a “Prize”) will be based on the finishing position of the lineup entry in accordance with the following:
| Place | Prize |
| 1st | $50,000 |

| 3rd – 4th | $15,000 (30,000) |

- Except as may be indicated otherwise elsewhere in these Rules, in the event of a tie between two (2) or more Contestants for a cash Prize, the Prizes for the tied positions will be combined and evenly split among each of the tied Contestants. For example, in the event two (2) Contestants tie for first (1st) place in the Contest, the first (1st) place Prize and second (2nd) place Prize for the Contest would be combined and split equally between the two (2) tied Contestants, and each of the tied Contestants would be awarded forty thousand dollars ($40,000).
- In order to claim a Prize, the winner must execute all documents as DraftKings may reasonably request and respond in a timely manner to DraftKings’ reasonable requests to facilitate Prize fulfilment.
