Take a quick walkthrough on how to play Fanstasy Sports Knockout.
Fantasy Sports Knockout is a season-long league combining weekly fantasy mechanics with survivor pool strategy. Each week the player with the lowest score (or group of players) is eliminated. Weekly eliminations will be tiered based on the bottom performing lineups.
The one fantasy manager left standing after the final week is crowned the winner.
We are currently available in twenty seven (27) states as of September 2024 and working on more! Users in the following states are eligible to participate in our cash games: AK, AR, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IL, KS, KY, MD, MA, MN, NE, NH, NM, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, WV, WI, WY
After being verified and cleared via ID verification, you will be required to be within the boundaries of an eligible state in order to make any transactions.
Users who are not located in an eligible state during use will be restricted from depositing or withdrawing funds, and from joining any site contests. If you do not live in an eligible state you will be limited to user games and free contests.
We are dedicated to ensuring that all users are comfortable. We designate users as Beginners, Standard, and Experienced. (As a new site, all users will be Beginners to start, but that doesn't change our mission! We will eventually run Beginner-only games.)
BEGINNER: A user is considered a Beginner if he/she has played in 50 or less contests. Beginner players will have a designated green B badge next to their username.
STANDARD: A user is considered Standard when they are beyond a Beginner but not yet considered an Experienced user.
EXPERIENCED: A user is considered Experienced when they have EITHER played in 1,000 or more contests OR won prizes of $1,000 or more in three (3) separate contests. Experienced players will have a designated red E badge next to their username.
Knockout is a game of skill and strategy. You can choose any players you wish, but you can only use them once. You can choose to load up and start off strong, or save top players and assets for when it really matters. Your strategy. Your survival.
We offer a variety of games to join and participate in. These include guaranteed contests, mutliple-entry, freerolls, and more! There's a game for every player (no matter the level).
New contests start every week, so it's never too late to join.
Every user must select a tiebreaker when joining a contest. The tiebreaker is the user’s tiebreaker for the entire season, and cannot be duplicated in a particular contest to ensure a unique number.
Tiebreakers are used in the event you are tied for an elimination spot, and statistical tiebreakers cannot resolve the issue (see our FAQs for more on this). The user whose tiebreaker is closest to the actual score survives. The tiebreaker can be higher or lower, only the distance from the actual score matters. However, if two tiebreakers are equidistant from the actual score, the lower predicted tiebreaker would survive.
With Knockout you get to select and set a new roster every week! Say good-bye ✌️ to the days of missing out on players in drafts or losing fantasy leagues because of injuries.
Set rosters weekly or in advance. But remember, each player can only be started in your lineup once per season.
Rules are simple, just survive! You don't have to have the highest score to move on, just avoid the lowest. The lowest score, or group of scores (depending on game rules), will be eliminated each week.
The last player standing after the final week is the winner!
