At DraftKings, you can create your own private contests within a league, and then invite friends to join. If a contest is set to recurring, it is automatically created for the next week and all league members will receive notifications.

Not all sports support recurring contests. Sports that happen on a regular or standardized schedule support recurring contests. These include NFL, Golf, Soccer, CFB, MMA, NASCAR, F1, and UFL.

Important Note: If the contest doesn't run two consecutive times, it will be  canceled. The commissioner can create a new contest within the league and resend invites.

Creating a recurring contest starts by following the same steps required for creating a regular contest: 

1. Log into your account.
2. Click on the Contests option from the menu at the top of the page.
3. Go to the My Contests section. 
4. Click on the green Create a Contest button, which you will find on the right-hand side of the My Contests page.  
5. Customize your contest according to your preferences and the available contest rules. 
6. If the draft group you selected is eligible to be a recurring contest, you will see the option at the bottom of the page.
7. Click on Create Contest and create your lineup. 
8. Invite your friends to join your new contest by sending them a link to it.

If all available slots in your contest are not filled at the time the contest goes live, your contest may be resized. Resizing allows contests to run even though they do not meet the number of entries for which the contest was initially designed. If a contest is resized, it will attempt to keep the same payout structure for which the contest was initially designed. If that prize structure is unavailable, the next closest prize structure will be chosen.
