Olympics Golf

Overview

Pick6 is a peer-to-peer daily fantasy sports (DFS) contest variant offered by DraftKings. Build a lineup, also known as your “Pick Set”, by choosing between 2-6 players and selecting whether you believe they will outperform their stat projections. Compete in contests against other users’ Pick Sets and win prizes by making the required number of correct picks.
The entries you compete against are determined by the number of picks you decide to make in your Pick Set (your “Pick Level”). Your Pick Set will only compete against entries of the same Pick Level. The pool of available players and their associated stat projections is called a “Pick Group”.

For Pick6 Olympics Golf contests, the golfer must record at least 1 stroke in order to be considered as having met the minimum play requirements.

If a golfer does not meet the minimum play requirements, all picks associated with that golfer will be scored as a loss, regardless of selecting more or less for the pick.

DraftKings uses statistics from third party providers, such as, but not limited to, Sportradar, for the purposes of providing tournament results, stat counts, and real-time entertainment value to its end users. DraftKings may change third-party providers from time to time without notice. For more information, please contact DraftKings customer service at support@draftkings.com.

Live scoring updates are strictly for the enjoyment of DraftKings customers. DraftKings’ official scoring validation process begins once all games within the Pick Group are final. This process ensures that DraftKings’ scoring matches official stat providers when contest results are finalized and paid out.

Once contests are finalized, a Pick Set status will change to “Completed”, and the Pick Set will move from the Live tab to the Recent tab on the My Picks page.

On occasion, official scorers may issue a stat-correction after games have ended and the official scoring validation process has completed. These corrections are rare, but can occur days after a game is played. Therefore, any changes to official scoring that occur after contests have been finalized will not impact those finalized contests. Conversely, if a correction needs to be made after contests are finalized due to a bug with the data feed or the finalization process, while extremely rare, the finalization process (including payment) may be reversed and redone correctly.

Pick stats and their more/less outcomes are intended to align with final game box scores at the time of Pick6 payouts, independent of contest payout timing for other DFS formats in the same sport and involving the same games. While rare, it is possible for a final stat amount on Pick6 to differ with other DFS formats based on when contests from each format were finalized and paid out.

Note: The official scoring validation process is solely to ensure that DraftKings contest results are determined based on official scoring. Delays during this process may occur as a result of data collection or other technical difficulties. DraftKings will not attempt to make judgments on scoring rulings.

A Prize Tier is defined as the amount of picks correct and the resulting award for an entry finishing with that number of correct picks. For example, a Prize Tier in a contest could award $500 split among all entries that got 6/6 picks correct and $200 split among all entries that got 5/6 picks correct.

What Happens if No One Finishes in a Prize Tier?

If no entry meets the requirements for an individual Prize Tier posted within a contest, DraftKings will award that tier's prizes to the highest (most picks correct) Prize Tier. If no entries finish in any posted Prize Tier, entries with the highest number of correct picks in that contest will be declared the winners and awarded an equal share of the contest’s guaranteed prize pool. In the event no entry has a single correct selection, no winner can be declared and DraftKings will refund all entry fees.

Example Scenarios for When No Entries Qualify for a Prize Tier

The table below explains what course of action DraftKings will take in the event that 0 entries qualify for a posted Prize Tier. The example contest is a 6-Pick Level contest with the following prize structure:

• $500 split among all entries with 6/6 picks correct.
• $200 split among all entries with 5/6 picks correct.
• $100 split among all entries with 4/6 picks correct.
• Entries with 0/6, 1/6, 2/6, or 3/6 picks do not win a prize.

All scenarios assume the non-mentioned payout tiers have at least one qualifying entry. For example, “No entries with 6/6 correct” assumes there are entries that got 5/6 and 4/6 correct.

Eligible Pick6 Golf Pick Sets must contain at least 1 “more” pick and 1 “less” pick.

Once a golfer is selected, they cannot be selected again for a different pick in the same Pick Set.

Once stat projections for each pick are published they will not be changed. 

DraftKings reserves the right to add picks to a Pick Group at its discretion after the initial group of picks has been published. Pick options will not be removed from the pool once published. However, a pick will be graded as a loss if the golfer does not meet the minimum play requirement, regardless if the pick is more or less. Additionally, picks that remain in the pool can be disabled from being added to future Pick Sets (for a reason such as an OUT injury designation). 

Pick Groups will only contain golfers. In other words, it is not possible to have an Olympics Golf pick and a MLB pick in the same Pick Set. Picks must also be made within the same Pick Group. The Pick Group is a particular set of Golf rounds and available picks. To change Pick Groups, there is a filter on the Home pick experience.

Pick Sets may be edited at any time leading up to the Pick Group start time. Each golfer will become "locked" at the scheduled start time of the round. A locked golfer cannot be added or removed from a Pick Set. Locked picks for all entries are displayed on the My Picks page.

Edits for Pick6 are done at the Pick Set level. Therefore, any swaps made to a Pick Set will be applied to all contest entries of that Pick Set.

When editing a Pick Set, the original Pick Level cannot be changed. For example, if a Pick Set was originally created with 5 picks, any edit to that Pick Set must contain 5 total picks to be valid. 

If the scheduled start time for a round changes after contests for a Pick Group containing that round of Golf become available, DraftKings will take measures to ensure the change is reflected on the pick experience and for Pick Set editing purposes. In the rare case that a round starts before the scheduled start time, all golfers playing in that round will become locked as soon as our feed reflects that the round has begun. Additionally, any swaps that were made after the real-life start time of the round will result in those Pick Sets being disqualified and refunded.

In the event that an Olympicss Golf tournament round is canceled before the round starts, DraftKings will cancel and refund all contest entries. DraftKings will consider a round canceled if the Olympicss itself declares so.

An Olympicss Golf tournament round may enter a suspended or postponed state due to weather, darkness, or some other reason. DraftKings will wait until the tournament’s officials make a ruling on the outcome of the suspension, postponement, or other delays,  before taking any actions related to paying out or canceling contest entries. If it becomes clear, as determined by DraftKings in its sole discretion, that the round will not be completed with all 18 holes being played, DraftKings will cancel and refund all contest entries.
