Users must pick Players from the Chalkboard Properties provided lobby;

2.4 Game Play. After submitting your entry, additional rules may apply as follows:
The following rules formerly applied to all Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contests, however the following combinations may be permitted when used in conjunction with the "Same Game Picks" feature ("SGP"):
For NFL + NCAAF Selections, Users cannot combine a quarterback’s passing yards projection with the receiving yards projection of a Wide Receiver, Running Back, or Tight End position;
For MLB Selections, Users cannot combine a pitcher’s stat projection with any stat projection of a hitter on the opposing team.
For NHL Selections, Users cannot combine a goalie’s saves projection with a shots on goal projection of any skater on the opposing team.
Each Player pick you select is associated with a multiplier value. The overall multiplier for each entry is the combined product of all individual multipliers associated with the Player picks in the entry. This overall multiplier is applied to your risk amount to calculate your potential Prize value.
At least two Player picks must qualify for a payout in order to receive a Prize.
Users cannot edit entries once submitted, provided, however, a User may be able to cancel an entry within 5 minutes after submission, at Chalkboard’s sole discretion;
When trying to cancel an entry, the User must click the 3 dots next to the entry and clicking “Cancel Entry”
In no circumstance may entries be cancelled after 5 minutes has passed from the submission time, unless a Player entered is marked as a did not play (DNP) and if no other Player picks in the entry have begun;
Entries may not include predictions (or “legs”) related to the same Player;
Statistical totals for Players include statistics accumulated in overtime or extra innings, when applicable;
Any leg outcome which ties its projection (known as a "push") or involves a DNP Player will have that specific leg within the entry voided.
For Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contests with 3 or more legs, the Contest will be graded with an adjusted payout as if the DNP Player leg was not included.
If a Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contest entry only has eligible Players from 1 team due to a voided leg, the entire Contest entry will be canceled and refunded.
Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contests with 2 legs which include a DNP Player leg will be cancelled and refunded.
Legs related to injured in-game Players are graded as normal unless a Player is ruled as a DNP;
Legs related to games which are delayed, cancelled, postponed, or abandoned may result in voided entries for the applicable Player picks;
Legs voided due to delay, cancellation, postponement, or abandonment will follow the same grading logic as the DNP Player legs.
Upon the conclusion of a game, Chalkboard shall aim to have all Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contest results available on your account 15 – 60 minutes from the conclusion of the game;
Official scorers may issue stat-corrections after games have been completed, but any such changes will not impact the result of the finalized Contest result.
Post-game adjustments for Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contest results, such as to fix any statistical errors or irregularities, may be made by Chalkboard in its sole discretion without any liability to Chalkboard for your adjustment in a Prize amount.
2.5 Payout of Prizes. At the conclusion of each game, your entry for the Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contest may be eligible for a payout of a certain amount of money (all in USD, or CAD if located in Canada) based upon the entry amount you submitted with your entry (each a “Prize”). Prize amounts shall be based upon applying the overall multiplier for an entry and applying it to the entry amount. Chalkboard’s Streak maximum multiplier for entries changes depending on the Contest and current streaks. The multiplier will show in each entry for that specific Contest before entering. All Prizes paid out shall be provided to you through your Account, which may be processed by Chalkboard’s third-party payment service provider. Players are eligible for a Prize if they are in full compliance with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and these Fantasy Contest Rules, and such Contest entry is eligible for a Prize payout. Unless otherwise provided herein or Chalkboard grants an exception (at Chalkboard’s sole discretion):
Any fee paid to Chalkboard to enter a Chalkboard Daily Fantasy Contest is final and nonrefundable;
Chalkboard may offer credits or refunds on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion;
Chalkboard will charge, and you hereby authorize Chalkboard to charge, the payment method you specify when providing the entry fee and / or receiving your Prizes.
You may also be offered Chalkboard’s Cash Out feature (“Cash Out”). Cash Out allows you to remove your entry from a Fantasy Contest at a newly agreed-upon price by settling your entry early. Cash Out may not be available on all Chalkboard markets, and Chalkboard reserves the right to suspend or disable the Cash Out feature at any time. Using Cash Out may mean you will opt out of and no longer be eligible for a particular promotion.
Chalkboard shall not be liable for any losses that may arise from the use of the Cash Out feature, or the Cash Out feature being unavailable for any reason. Chalkboard reserves the right to: i) reverse the settlement of a Cash Out and amend the User’s balance accordingly if the entry is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error), and ii) reverse or adjust any Cash Out outcomes if Chalkboard determines in its sole discretion that the Cash Out feature was used in a manner that violates the terms and conditions of our platform (including, but not limited to, deliberate attempts to commit fraud, attempts to circumvent these Fantasy Contest Rules, or deliberately exploiting a technical glitch or error).
2.6 Additional Terms.

We reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to us from our data provider(s) or in our calculation of results. You agree to notify us if you become aware of any errors or irregularities with respect to Prize awards on your Account and to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments in the event of any errors.
We reserve the right to suspend and/or close your Account without notice, withhold or revoke the awarding of Prizes, and/or invalidate, forfeit, and/or deduct amounts from your Account balance if we determine, in our sole discretion, that:
You engage in conduct that is improper, unfair, fraudulent, or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Services or detrimental to other Users or you otherwise are not in compliance with these Fantasy Contest Rules, our Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or any other additional terms you are governed by through use of the Chalkboard Properties;

Each year, all winners who have won six hundred dollars ($600.00) or more through their Account over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to Chalkboard so that we can comply with tax regulations. This information will be shared with relevant tax authorities. You, and not Chalkboard, are responsible for filing and paying applicable local, state, federal, and international taxes on any winnings, including Prizes or Deposit Matches (as provided below).

Chalkboard uses third-party data providers to provide sports data for our Contests. All “live” statistics and other information provided through the Services and related information sources through our Chalkboard Properties are unofficial. While Chalkboard and the third-parties use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, Chalkboard cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy of the data used. If we correct mistakes during or after the Contest, this may alter your Contest result. In cases where our third-party data providers make corrections to the sports data, Chalkboard retains sole and absolute discretion to make corrections or amend the scoring, points, and/or result allocated during a Contest at any time before the winners of that Contest have been paid. No corrections shall be made for a Contest after the winners have been paid.
Chalkboard reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make the determination whether you are interacting with the Chalkboard Properties in a responsible way in accordance with our responsible play policies and procedures. We shall permit you to set responsible play limits and to self-exclude. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to impose stricter responsible play limits than those imposed by you and to exclude you, if we deem it necessary.
We may offer additional promotional opportunities for our Players on a case by case basis, which may be subject to additional terms for each applicable Promotion. See Section 8 of the Terms for further information.
