The DraftKings Fantasy Sports GameCenter provides a space for players to view live updates, stats, and other contest details. Each contest's GameCenter provides all relevant information about the contest, from entry before the contest locks through the final results.
Important Information
- Live contest scoring is strictly for entertainment purposes.
- Only completed contests in the History section will display DraftKings’ official scoring of the contest, and this validation process doesn’t begin until all games within the contest are final.
The information in the GameCenter is organized into three sections: GameCenter Overview, Standings, and Player Information.
GameCenter Overview
In this section, you’ll find general game information. Such as:
- Contest name
- Contest details
- Clicking this link will redirect you to an additional page that displays the contest summary description, prize payouts, entrant list, and the contest rules.
- The total prize pool for the contest
- Start time of the contest
- Sport
- Number of entries in the contest
- Current status of the contest (Upcoming, Live, or Completed)
- Total positions paid
You can also toggle between light and dark modes from this section.
Standings
In this section, you’ll find a snapshot of current standings (up to the top 500 entries) for contests in progress, or the recap of results for completed contests. For contests with more than 500 entries, the lowest-scoring player will be displayed at the bottom of each payout tier.
- As an example only: A contest that pays out 648 positions will show the top 500 and then the user and Fantasy Points Value value at 648th.
Important Note: For contests including over 500 entries, each Team Name will be listed up to the 500th position. After 500, only the Team Name in the final position for each prize tier will be listed.
Standings include:
- Rank
- Prior to the final results, Rank displays the top 500 entries according to unofficial live contest scoring.
- Your contest entry standing will still be shown, even if your rank is outside of the top 500.
- Rankings will change as the contest progresses, and final standings will be available after all games in the contest end and final statistics are confirmed.
- Learn more about GameCenter rankings.
- Prior to the final results, Rank displays the top 500 entries according to unofficial live contest scoring.
- Team Name
- The team name is the Fantasy Sports player’s username associated with the entry.
