Rules for Joining Daily Fantasy Games
Welcome to BassBucks Daily Fantasy Games! Below, you’ll find important rules and guidelines for joining contests and participating in the exciting world of daily fantasy fishing.
Within each of these tournaments, there will be a variety of games available to the users, comprising a total of 64 possible games they can compete in each day, per tournament. The types of games and a short description of each are as follows:
Tournament Style: Users compete against one another over the course of multiple days to see who can accumulate the most points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner, taking the largest percentage of the pot, with 2nd, 3rd, and so on to a certain placement, each taking a smaller portion of the pot.
Within the Tournament Style games, there will be some games listed as “Single Entry,” while others will have “Multi-Entry”. What this means is that a user can enter into the game multiple times in a multi-entry game, allowing them to “hedge their bets,” so to speak, while single entry games only allow one entry per user.
Head-to-Heads (H2H): These games are a one-on-one competition between two users to see who can accumulate the most points.
Head-to-Head games are always single entry.
5-100 Player Games: These games allow users to compete against a group, with sizes including groups of 5, 10, 20, and 100. The user with the most points at the end of the tournament wins.
5-100 Player games are always single entry.
50/50 Games: These are games where the top 50% of users win a share of the money pool created from the initial number of users.
50/50 games are always multi-entry.
Single Round or Two-Day Tournaments: These games will include the game style of the tournaments above and create an opportunity for users who have submitted a roster for a multiday tournament to play even if their chances at the four-day prize are lost after the first or second day.
Submitting a Roster and Joining Contests
• Once you submit your roster and officially join a contest, your entry is final.
• However, you can modify your roster up until the contest begins. Be sure to make all necessary changes before the contest’s scheduled start time, as rosters will lock once the contest is underway.
• After the contest begins, no changes, edits, or withdrawals can be made.
Contest Scoring
BassBucks fantasy contests are scored using official results from real-world professional fishing tournaments. Fantasy points are calculated based on fish caught, total weight, and daily finishing position.
Scoring Overview
Scoring Category | Points Awarded | Explanation |
Fish Caught (Quantity) | 1 point per fish | Each fish officially weighed and credited to an Angler earns one fantasy point.
|
Weight (lbs.) |
1 point per pound |
One fantasy point is awarded pound of fish caught by each Angler on each scoring day.
|
Daily Finishing Position Bonus | 1st Place = 20 points 2nd Place = 15 points 3rd Place = 10 points 4th Place = 8 points 5th Place = 6 points 6th Place = 5 points 7th Place = 4 points 8th Place = 3 points 9th Place = 2 points 10th Place = 1 point | In addition to points earned for fish caught and total weight, BassBucks awards a Daily Finishing Position Bonus to anglers who place in the Top 10 of the official daily tournament standings. |
Scoring Formulas.
Daily Fantasy Points. = (Fish Caught × 1) + (Total Weight in lbs. × 1) + (Top 10 Finish Bonus, if applicable)
Contest Fantasy Points. = The sum of each Participant’s daily fantasy point totals.
Scoring Example: Imagine the following fantasy point accumulation for a Participant (“Participant A”), on Day 1 of a two-day BassBucks Fantasy Contest in which Participants must draft two Anglers each day:
• Participant A drafts John Crews (“Angler A”), and Angler A finishes in 1st place on Day 1after catching only 2 massive fish weighing a cumulative 20.0 lbs. Therefore, on Day 1, Participant A would earn 42 fantasy points for Angler A’s performance on Day 1 because 2 (fish) + 20 (pounds) + 20 (bonus) = 42 fantasy points.
• Now imagine Mike Iaconelli (“Angler B”) was also drafted by Participant A on Day 1, and Angler B finishes in 2nd place on Day 1 after catching 9 fish weighing a cumulative 19.5lbs. Here, Participant A would earn 43.5 fantasy points for Angler B’s performance on Day 1 because 9 (fish) + 19.5 (pounds) + 15 (bonus) = 43.5 fantasy points.
• As such, Participant A’s fantasy point score at the end of Day 1 would be 85.5 Fantasy Points, which are the accumulated fantasy points earned from Angler A and Angler B. It is important to note that as illustrated by the above example, even the first place finishing Angler may not always be the Angler to earn a Participant the most fantasy points in a BassBucks Contest.
Tie-Break Rules and Changes
In the unlikely event of a tie in fantasy points between two or more Participants at the conclusion of a Contest, the tied Participants will split the applicable prize equally. No additional statistical or performance-based tiebreakers will be applied, however, BassBucks reserves the right to offer Contests with tiebreaker or amend the Contest scoring mechanisms in a manner that is consistent with the multiple metric basis as set forth in this example, in its discretion. Any changes or updates to scoring or tiebreakers will be made publicly available on the BassBucks website.
