Draft Kings

Anyone here play dfs? I was thinking if people were interested we could start a league on DK where we could do something like $5 buy in every Saturday or whichever works for best. Especially since Ari isn't doing a money pool this year 

 

I look forward to everyone's responses.

Never tried it. What is it exactly?

In each contest, participants will create a lineup by selecting players listed in the Player Pool. Each player listed has an assigned salary and a valid lineup must not exceed the salary cap of $50,000.



Contest results will be determined by the total points accumulated by each individual lineup entry (scoring rules summarized below).

The Player Pool will consist of all NHL players expected to be on the active roster for any team scheduled to play in the contest Draft Group. Occasionally a player may be missing from the Player Pool due to trades or other unforeseen circumstances. 

In most circumstances, once the Player Pool is established for a Draft Group, including positions and salaries, the Player Pool will not be adjusted. In the rare event that there is a mistake within the Player Pool that would significantly impact game quality, DraftKings reserves the right to correct the mistake after contests for that Draft Group have become available. This may result in valid lineups becoming invalid. This would most likely occur shortly after the Player Pool becomes available, far in advance of the contest start time, and participants who have entered contests for the Draft Group prior to the adjustment will be notified via email.

A “Draft Group” is a set of games used for contests; each contest is tied to one Draft Group. Contests tied to the same Draft Group can be created at different times. Therefore, game policies are based on the timing of a Draft Group being made available, not each individual contest.

 

Rosters will consist of 9 players and must include skaters (non-goalies) from at least 3 different NHL teams.

The 9 roster positions are: W, W, W, C, C, D, D, UTIL, G

W spots can be filled with a RW or LW

The UTIL spot can be filled with any skater (LW, RW, C, or D), but not a Goalie

SCORING RULES

Players will accumulate points as follows:

Goal = +3 PTS

Assist = +2 PTS

Shot on Goal = +0.5 PTS

Blocked Shot = +0.5 PTS

Short Handed Point Bonus (Goal/Assist) = +1 PTS

Shootout Goal = +0.2 PTS

Hat Trick Bonus = +1.5 PTS

Goalies only will accumulate points as follows:

Win = +3 PTS

Save = +0.2 PTS

Goal Against = -1 PTS

Shutout Bonus = +2 PTS

Goalie Scoring Notes:

Goalies WILL receive points for all stats they accrue, including goals and assists.

The Goalie Shutout Bonus is credited to goalies if they complete the entire game with 0 goals allowed in regulation + overtime. Shootout goals will not prevent a shutout. Goalie must complete the entire game to get credit for a shutout.

Thanks for the info.

 

Think I'll pass though. Not a fan of the way they do the salary cap.

Thats what makes it fun though. It's ok though. Doubt there will be enough interest. 

Yea it's just not for me. I did one similar before on Yahoo and didn't find it fun.

 

However if you're willing to do a pool similar to Ari's from last year, I'd certainly join. I don't care if the draft cuts into the season.
