FanDuel Tournament Kings Contest & Tuesday's Winning Lineup
Is it just me or does it feel like it should be Wednesday or Thursday already? But no, we are stuck in the land of Tuesday which is a far cry away from the weekend. Luckily for us there is a full slate of action tonight. We have game 4 of the NBA Finals and we have 15 MLB games, which means there is plenty of opportunity to win some money.
Last week I talked about FanDuel’s amazing Ironman Challenge promotion which allows you the chance to win some major dollar prizes and even a seat to the Daily Fantasy Baseball Championships. And the best part about that promotion is that it doesn’t cost you anything in addition to the money games you are already playing. If you didn’t get a chance to read about it and see how to qualify for it, make sure to check it out.
Today I wanted to mention FanDuel’s other great promotion; it’s called the Tournament Kings Contest. Just like the Ironman Challenge, it is a free contest and is a great chance for you to win money. This contest will award cash prizes and two seats to the Daily Fantasy Baseball Championships. If you ended up winning a seat, you will have the opportunity to win some of the $100,000 worth of prizes. Here is some more information about the Tournament Kings Contest:
How to qualify: The top 21 players who have accumulated the most total prizes in large field tournaments will qualify and get a free entry into the Tournament Kings Freeroll. This winner of this freeroll will win one seat to the DFBC. Large field tournaments are defined as contests that:
1. Have no restrictions on who is allowed to enter
2. Has an entry fee associated with it
3. Has a prize pool of at least $2,000 OR is not capped at less than 100 entrants.
Prizes: Additionally, the person who finishes at the very top of the leaderboard (most total prizes won) will also receive a seat to the DFBC. Plus those players that finish 2nd through 5th will win cash prizes as follows:
2nd: $400
3rd: $300
4th: $200
5th: $100
Period to Accumulate: The period in which the total prizes will be counted is from May 16 through August 23 so make sure to start entering large field tournaments so that you can qualify.
If you have any questions about the tournament or how to qualify, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment.
FanDuel $10 Hit and Run Tournament
Now on to my lineup for today. I still have yet to take down a large field tournament but I have the feeling that I am getting close. Maybe today will be that day. Here is my lineup for FanDuel’s $10 “Tuesday MLB Hit & Run” tournament:
| Position | Player | Price | Opponent |
|---|---|---|---|
| P | Edinson Volquez | $5,000 | Cubs |
| C | Victor Martinez | $3,600 | Rangers |
| 1B | Albert Pujols | $3,700 | Astros |
| 2B | Rickie Weeks | $3,700 | Mets |
| 3B | Adrian Beltre | $3,500 | Tigers |
| SS | Asdrubal Cabrera | $3,700 | Twins |
| LF | Ryan Braun | $4,000 | Mets |
| CF | Melky Cabrera | $3,300 | Blue Jays |
| RF | Jose Bautista | $4,500 | Royals |
I went with a big-hitter lineup. With Volquez for only $5,000 you can basically take your pick with your hitters. Leave a comment and let us know your favorite players of the day.
