Rescues
Rescues
If a 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.
For MLB, hitters must have started the game and exited before logging their third plate appearance to be eligible for rescue. Pitchers are not currently eligible for rescue.
For NFL, defensive players do not qualify for rescue.
Entries must be valid to be rescued. Rescues will not go into effect if any other selection(s) in your entry are graded as a loss (assuming it is a valid entry). All entries impacted this way will be refunded, but only one special will be available per uniquely impacted player.
Rescue also applies for entries that use Pick'em Flex. For example, if you have a Pick-5 entry where three selections are graded as a win, one selection is graded as a loss and the final selection doesn't return in the 2nd half (for any reason) of their game - your entry will be rescued. Flex entries with all winning entries besides the selection will not be rescued, an additional losing selection (or 2 for entries that are pick 6, 7, or 8) would be needed for the entry to be rescued.
Partial game picks will not be eligible for Rescue. 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.

Every Other Sport
Every Other Sport
For every other sport, regardless of how many minutes a player has played in the game, the selection will be graded as normal. Injuries, playtime, ejections and coaching decisions are not voidable circumstances.
The grading of player selections will be determined by their final stat line at the end of the contest.
If a player got injured before the game started or was scratched before participating, that selection will be voided and the overall entry will drop to the next lowest tier. (A pick 5 will become a pick 4 for example).
