Currently, only entries that consist of NBA, MLB, WNBA, NFL, CFB, CBB, and WCBB picks are eligible for Rescue. NFL Preseason and BASKETBALL (including NBA Summer League) picks are not eligible for Rescue.

CFB Rescues will only apply to players on Top 25 teams. To determine the Top 25 teams, AP Rankings will be used until the CFP Rankings are released.

All picks will be valid if a player plays in a game but exits early due to injury or otherwise.

All In-Game MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL pick(s) 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.

For all other sports, In-Game or 2H picks will void if a player does not play after your submission is made.


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.

If an NBA player plays in the first half of the game but does not return in the second half for any reason (injury, ejection, etc.) your entry will be refunded and you’ll be given a special that’ll appear in your lobby the next day. This only applies if you chose higher on the player's selection. See Pick'em Rescues for more info.

Baseball


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.

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 In-Game MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL pick(s) 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.

Other Sports


For all other sports, In-Game or 2H picks will void if a player does not play after your submission is made.
