Best Puck Classic

Entrants select players through a snake draft. In a snake draft, the pick order is reversed each round. In other words, the entrant with the first pick in round 1, will have the last pick in round 2 and the first pick in round 3.

Entrants are required to pay an entry fee of $15 per entry to enter the Best Puck Classic (the "Tournament").

Entry to the Tournament will be closed prior to the 1st game of the 2024 season. This means that the Tournament closure time would move, if the timing of the first game were to change for any reason.

Entrants draft a team of players who accumulate points throughout the duration of the contest period.

Once entrants draft, their rosters are set—there are no waivers, substitutions, or trades during the contest period.

At the end of each NHL week, Underdog automatically selects the entrant's highest scoring players at the designated positions to be “starters” and only those players' statistics over that week are counted towards the entrant's accumulated score. This means entrants do not need to set their lineups.

Entrants compete in groups ("Groups") over the course of multiple rounds ("Rounds").

At the end of Round 1, the top two (2) performing entries in each Group will advance to Round 2 and be awarded a prize (as described below). Round 2 will consist of 2,500 entries in 250 10-person Groups.

At the end of Round 2, the top two (2) performing entries from each Group will advance to Round 3 and be awarded a prize (as described below). Round 3 will consist of 500 entries in 50 10-person Groups.

At the end of Round 3, the top two (2) performing entry from each Group will advance to Round 4 and be awarded a prize (as described below). Round 4 will consist of 100 entries in a single 100-person Group.

At the end of Round 4, the top (1) performing entry from the Group will be the Grand Prize winner and prizes will be awarded to all entries in Round 4 (as described below).
