What happens if my player doesn't play?

Updated over a week ago

All picks will be valid if a player plays in a game but exits early due to injury or otherwise. Click on the arrows below to expand for more details.


Football

If a player is officially inactive, the pick will be graded as a Void. If a player is active but does not play a snap or on special teams (i.e. any kickoff, onside kick, field goal or punt), this will be graded as a Void. Any player who plays a snap or on special teams (i.e. any kickoff, onside kick, field goal or punt) will have their picks graded.


Basketball

Whether officially active or inactive, if the player plays 0 minutes, they will be treated as inactive, and all picks for that player will be considered Void.


MLB

Whether officially active or inactive, if a batter doesn't start the game in the official starting lineup, they will be treated as an inactive player, and all picks of that player will be considered Void. If a pitcher does not start the game but comes on in relief, their pick will be scored. (See College Baseball for specific rules pertaining to that sport.)


Hockey

Any skater not active for the game will have their entries graded as a Void. A goalie who does not start will have their entries graded as a Void, even if they come on in relief.


Golf

For a winner to be determined, both golfers in a Golf Pick'em Rival matchup MUST complete the round. The Rival will be scored as a Void if either golfer does not finish the round (due to injury, withdrawal, DQ, or any other reason). The payout for the entry, including the voided pick, will be adjusted based on the number of valid picks.


Soccer

Whether officially active or inactive, if the player doesn't start the game in the official starting lineup, they will be treated as an inactive player, and all picks of that player will be considered Void.


Racing

If a player does not complete a qualifying lap, picks for that qualifying session will be voided. If a driver starts the race and drives for any amount of time, their picks will be considered valid, even if they do not complete a single lap.


Rivals

If either player doesn't play, the pick is voided regardless of whether they are inactive or never come off the bench.


Duos

Both players in the duo must play or else the projection will void.


In-Game

All full game In-Game Projections will not void if a player does not play after your submission is made. The pick(s) will grade as normal using their final stat line at the end of the contest.

Please refer to partial stats rules page for more information regarding those projections.
