UFC

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 2 or more fighters (3 or more in CO) 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 fighters and their associated stat projections is called a “Pick Group”.

For Pick6 UFC contests, the fighter must record at least 1 second of official fight time in the scheduled fight associated with the pick in order to be considered as having met the minimum play requirements.

If a fighter does not meet the minimum play requirements in their scheduled fight, all picks associated with that fighter will be scored as void, regardless of selecting more or less for the pick.

If a Pick Set has one or more void picks and the outcomes of the remaining non-void picks results in the lineup finishing in an existing payout tier at the lower pick level, the lineup will receive the Base Payout in the sport, pick level, and payout tier of the non-void picks, in cash, less any other cash winnings.

If a lineup settles with all but one (1) voided pick, or with all voided picks, that lineup will be refunded its entry fee in the same form used for submission. For example, if the lineup was submitted using Pick6 Credits, the refund will be issued in Pick6 Credits.

DraftKings uses statistics from third party providers for the purposes of providing fight 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 fights s 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 fights have ended and the official scoring validation process has completed. These corrections are rare, but can occur days after a fight is completed. 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 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 fights. 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.

Pick6 contest entries are scored based on the number of correct picks. Winning entries receive a share of the total prize pool proportional to their share of Standings Points amongst all winners. A contest may have multiple classifications of a winning entry to account for voided and pardoned pick scenarios. Learn more about the Voided Pick Policy.

For example only, a 5-Pick NFL contest with a $10,000 total prize pool may have the following winning entry score classifications: 5/5, 4/5, 4/4, 3/3, and 2/2.

In this example, all winning entries would win a share of the $10,000. The exact share would be calculated based on the amount of Standing Points for each entry. Learn more about how Standings Points are calculated.

Winning entries are defined in the contest’s details. Typically, a winning entry will be one whose final score is eligible for a Base Payout after accounting for voided pick scenarios. For example only, a 6-pick contest will typically have the following scores be classified as a winning entry: 6/6, 5/6, 5/5, 4/5, 4/4, 3/3, and 2/2. Lineups with voided picks will have their scores adjusted, but will always remain in the original contests they were entered into.

What Happens if no one finishes with a winning entry?

If no entry meets the definition of a winning entry, DraftKings will split the prize pool amongst the entries with the most total correct picks. The exact share of the prize pool would be calculated based on the amount of Standing Points for each entry. Learn more about how Standings Points are calculated. In the event no entry has a single correct selection, no winner can be declared and DraftKings will refund all entry fees for that specific contest.

Once a fighter is selected, they cannot be selected again for another stat in the same Pick Set. For example, a fighter can be picked for Fight Time OR Takedowns, but not both.

Stat projections can change after they have been posted. The projections at the time you submit your Pick Set are the projections your picks will be scored against.

DraftKings reserves the right to add or remove picks to a Pick Group at its discretion after the initial group of picks has been published. 

Pick groups will only contain fighters. In other words, as an example, it is not possible to have a UFC pick and an NFL pick in the same Pick Set. Picks must be made within the same Pick Group. The Pick Group is a particular set of games and available picks. To change Pick Groups, there is a filter on the Home pick experience.

Pick Sets may not be edited after they’ve been submitted.

If the scheduled start time for a fight changes after contests for a Pick Group become available, DraftKings will take measures to ensure the change is reflected on the pick experience. In the rare case that a fight within a Pick Group starts before the scheduled start time, all fighters will become locked as soon as our feed reflects that the fight has begun.

In the event that an entire fight card is canceled, all player entries will be canceled and refunded. If an entire fight card is postponed or delayed for a reasonable amount of time, as determined by DraftKings in its sole discretion, the contests may remain live until which time the event is completed. After final results become available, the contests will be finalized and settled.

In the event that a fight is canceled, any picks associated with the originally scheduled fight will be marked as void.
