Additional Terms For Perfect Draft Challenge Contests

In order to be eligible to play any games for money on the FN website, you (hereby defined as "member") must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, and a resident of the United States. Citizens of states where such activity is prohibited are not eligible to play games for money on the FN website. Additionally, members are eligible to participate in for-money contests on the FN website if they meet the following criteria, as outlined in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006:

  1. All prizes and awards offered to winning participants are established and made known to the participants in advance of the game or contest and their value is not determined by the number of participants or the amount of any fees paid by those participants.
  2. All winning outcomes reflect the relative knowledge and skill of the participants and are determined predominantly by accumulated statistical results of the performance of individuals (athletes in the case of sports events) in multiple real-world sporting or other events.
  3. No winning outcome is based: a) on the score, point spread, or any performance or performances of any single real world team or any combination of such teams; or b) solely on any single performance of an individual athlete in any single real-world sporting or other event.

A winning roster will consist of the top scoring players from either the full regular season (hereby defined as "the season"), or for the specific week if the contest is not Season Long, using the point allocations as outlined on the contest website. There may be multiple players chosen at a specific position. The ranking must be exact. For example, the player chosen for the RB1 spot must finish as the highest scoring fantasy running back for the specified time period. The player assigned to the RB2 spot must finish the specified time period as the second-highest scoring fantasy running back. Only rosters with a unique player in each position will be considered valid.

Rosters may be modified until the contest locks (typically once the season is officially underway or the specific week has started) as specified by FN. It is the responsibility of the member to fill in a complete roster. Any roster spot left unfilled will not be scored.

Specific information regarding the season schedule is available on the FN website. In the event of an unforeseen interruption to the schedule, FN may modify the season definition as necessary and amend the contest in its sole discretion. Potential actions may include, but are not limited to, cancellation of the contest, issuing refunds (whether full or partial) of the entry fees, and/or modifying the season length. FN reserves the right to retain any fees to cover costs incurred with such activities. Any actions will be communicated via email to all affected members.

Winning entries will be paid out via PayPal money transfer, or check. Any costs associated with such payment method will be the responsibility of the member and may be deducted from the winning prize. PayPal transfers will not incur any charge. Payments made via paper check will incur a $4.00 charge. Payments made via electronic bank transfer (if available) will incur a $5.00 charge. All payments whether to FN or member will be conducted in the US Dollar currency.

If a member makes a payment to FN and subsequently the member (or the member's banking institution or credit card company) initiates a reversal or chargeback of any amount, FN reserves the right to freeze all member funds until such a time as the reversal or chargeback has been resolved and/or remove the member's entries from the FN website. Members agree that funds lost due to reversals and chargebacks are the obligation of the member and will be paid back to FN.

It is the sole responsibility of each Member to determine the applicability of any taxes that may be due as a result of participation in a FN contest. FN is not responsible for tax advice, calculation of taxes that may be due, or reporting tax data to any agency. This applies to all agencies and levels of government unless specifically required by law.

All payments to FN for participation in the form of entry fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.

The integrity of the game is of utmost importance to FN. Only one (1) account per member will be allowed access to participate in any FN game and is subject to any limitations as defined by the game (example: max entries per member). Members found to have created additional entries using multiple accounts may have their accounts closed, entries invalidated, and agree to waive their rights to already purchased entry fees. Members found in violation of these terms will forfeit any payments made and waive any right to claim any winnings whatsoever. Upon termination of your account, your right to use the Site and Services will immediately cease.

If at any time FN ceases to exist whether by dissolution, bankruptcy protection, or any other reason, any unpaid contest winnings may be forfeited within the sole discretion of FN.
