The Little Albatross

Underdog contests are governed by our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and the rules listed below.

Entrants into Underdog contests compete to accumulate points based on athletes' statistical performance in sporting events. Contest results are determined by the total points accumulated by each individual lineup entry according to the relevant scoring rules.

The roster makeup and scoring will follow the details below.

Note that at Underdog's discretion, Underdog could pay out partial prizes upon advancement that eventually will equal the total prizes per user as seen below.

Underdog limits the maximum number of entries that a single entrant may enter into a single contest. This Tournament will have a maximum of 20 entry per entrant.

Underdog uses official league statistics provided by reputable partners and only includes statistics from sporting events the relevant league deems to be official.

We endeavor to promptly settle contests and distribute prizes, but it is also important to us to make sure we do so accurately. On a tournament basis, final scores will be confirmed within 72 hours after the final golfer completes the event. Following each major, entries will be advanced within 72 hours after the final golfer completes the event. Once entries are advanced, scores will be considered final and no changes will be made. Normally, any scoring changes or stat corrections provided by our partners after a contest has ended and Underdog has settled the contest will not impact the already-settled contest. However, Underdog reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to revise scores after they are released in the unlikely event of potential scoring error by a provider or Underdog. In those circumstances, the contest results may be altered, payments may be reversed, and redone based on the correction.

If a league declares a game "postponed" or "suspended," then the statistics generated in the sporting event before that point will count toward the contest. Any statistics generated when the sporting event takes place or resumes will count only if it occurs before the relevant contest period or Round closes.

If there are not enough entries to fill the Tournament, some entries may advance to the next Round of the Tournament, even if they do not place high enough in their Group to qualify for automatic advancement, these are called "wild cards". For example, if less than the total entries for the Tournament are submitted, there may not be enough automatic advancements to fill Round 2.

Yet we will advance enough entries into Round 2 so that Round 2 fills. In these cases, the wild cards will be provided to the highest scoring entries from the Round who did not automatically advance. - For example, if the top three (3) places automatically advance, and a 5th place finisher in one Group accumulates more points in the Round than a 4th place finisher in another Group, the 5th place finisher would be awarded the wild card.

I.E. For wild card advancements, place in the Group is irrelevant, highest scoring lineups will advance.

If an entrant enters more than one entry in the Tournament, each entry will be placed in a different Group for Round 1. Similarly, a single entrant's entries will not be in the same Group if the number of groups is greater than the entrant's remaining number of entries. However, if the entrant has more entries remaining than there are Groups, then an entrant may have multiple entries in a Group.

For drafts operating at an 8 hour pick clock, the schedule for picks being sped up will be as follows:

Slow drafts have an overnight pause of 3 hr between 2am and 5am ET, during which time you can still draft and make picks. The overnight pause is there to give you additional time on the clock so that you're less likely to miss a pick. However, as the season approaches the overnight pause will change as the pick clock changes.

This Tournament is a guaranteed contest and will run (with prizes unchanged) even if it does not reach capacity before the contest start time.

Please review the other eligibility requirements in our Terms of Use.

Each user on Underdog is permitted to maintain one account. "Multi-accounting" or colluding with any other entrant is expressly prohibited. If you have opened, maintained, used, colluded with, or controlled more than one account, as determined in Underdog's sole discretion, we may terminate or suspend any or all of your accounts and may revoke or withhold any prizes that you have won.

If you undertake any actions that are detrimental to Underdog or other users on Underdog's service, we may suspend some or all functions associated with your account. We expect suspended users to respect the disciplinary actions that we have imposed on your accounts. If you want to communicate with us regarding restoration of your account, please email [email protected].

Underdog permits entrants to cancel entries as long as the draft that you are attempting to enter has not yet been filled.

Player positions are determined at the sole discretion of Underdog. Lineups must include players from at least two different teams.

Entrants may not edit Tournament rosters after they are drafted

When players are traded in real life or retire, entrants will accumulate points based on the player's performance on the new team. Entrants are not permitted to swap players, even if a player in their lineup is no longer eligible to earn points.

Underdog reserves the right to cancel contests at our sole discretion, without any restrictions. Typically, we would only do so in cases where we believe that due to problems with our services or occurring in events impacting the sporting events, there would be questions regarding the contest's integrity.
