Other FAQ’s
- Can I enter the King of the Gridiron more than once? – Players are allowed a maximum of 100 entries into the King of the Gridiron final. Satellites may also have a maximum allowable amount of entries.
- I won a satellite, how do I receive my entry into the final? – If you win an entry (or entries) by winning a satellite, FanDuel will create a “dummy” lineup and insert it into the Upcoming section of your My Contests tab. This will be done on December 17th for all players who win a satellite by December 16th. Players who win a satellite after December 16th will see their entry in the King of the Gridiron by midnight ET of the following day. It is the responsibility of the player user to edit the entry/entries before the final begins. Please note that if you cancel a King of the Gridiron seat awarded from a satellite, you will not be refunded for the value.
