All Contest entries close upon a contest locking, which will be shown as the lock time. The lock time will be prior to the start time or at the start time of the game or match.

Non-Late Swap Contest

Lineup edits close when the contest locks, which will be before the game start time or prior to the game’s start time.

As an example only: You've reserved an entry into an MMA Classic contest. The contest requires players to draft 6 fighters with the first match starting at 1:00 PM EST. All fighters will lock before the start of the 1:00 PM EST match when the contest locks.

Late Swap Contest

Players can make lineup edits leading up to each game's lock time. Athletes cannot be added or removed from a lineup once their contest’s lock time has passed.

As an example only: You've reserved an entry into a contest from the NFL Classic main set. It contains 7 games at 1:00 PM EST and 2 games at 4:25 PM EST. Your lineup will lock at the lock time before the 4:25 PM EST games. Between 1 PM EST and 4:25 pm, you’ll be able to make edits to your lineup in the 4:25 PM EST game.
