FanDuel Promotion with Footballguys 2014 (1 Viewer)

I'm confused. I finished above the 3 FBguys in week 1 so I guess I qualify for week 11. Are the next 9 weeks just a regular 50/50 for those that already qualified and entry optional? Do you just need beat the 3 FBgs in any of weeks 1-10? Not cumulative or anything - right?
Every entry in weeks 1 through 10 that beats all 3 FBG staff members gets you a ticket into the week 11 contest.

 
This was my very first week doing daily games. I entered 12 contests, currently winning in 10. Oddly enough, I am likely losing ALL games in my season leagues. Having daily games can definitely keep a day from being ruined. Does anyone make serious cash playing the contests? Do you guys go with your gut or stick to analytics?

 
Sigmund Bloom

79.15 + M Forte and R Wayne

Blackeyed Joe

116.58 + R Wayne and Z Ertz

jigandreel

101.8 + R Wayne and A Luck

 
I am a subscriber. I have recieved no notifications or invitations for this contest at all. I saw the link in this thread and entered last week and won, but have no e-mail notifications that I got a ticket. My Fanduel account should be linked since I made a deposit last year thru a FBG/Fanduel promotion. No e-mail notification from Fanduel either. ????
There has been a link in the daily e-mail content in the section at the top where they are advertising Fanduel. Easy to scroll past if you're used to scrolling through the promotional material to get to the content.
I missed it, as well.

Apparently, a lot of folks have missed it. Only 842 in this week.

Do they change the prize structure from the one that is posted? Or do they eat the difference?

FanDuel will always pay to 500 spots regardless of entries.

157 this week, that should be enough to make week 11.

Love this contest!
Joe finished 130 so I think you just missed a ticket this week, you still cashed though :)

I did not get any tickets this week but still cashed all 3 so can't complain. Money is money.

I landed 19th and 113th. Sweet! How is it tracked?
I don't know where Bloom or Dodds finished, but you will get a ticket to week 11 assuming you beat all 3 -- they will email you, and you will have a ticket which you can view here within a couple days: https://www.fanduel.com/my-tickets/
Awesome, thanks. First week with daily games so its new to me.
No problem, also congrats on the sweet lineups! Just to clarify the email comes from fanduel, not footballguys, but the link with your tickets is the place to make sure (You can also get there by clicking on "my account" in the upper right under your name on fanduel then clicking on the tickets link which is one of the links across the top of the screen). Fanduel is a good site but the interface can be a bit clunky. Good luck going forward!

I meant 157 points, good for 8th place.

 
I won all three of my entries this week, but finished just behind Joe with 2 of them. Less than 1/2 a point with one.

I like the contest, but it would be great if the FBG's scores were pinned to the leaderboard rather than having to search for them.

Agreed, this would be nice.

I am going to bump this. It would really improve the contest.
Yep, this is brutal. Either on Fanduel or somewhere on FBG they have to list their three scores.

This week I see Joe at #519, Dodds at #530, and Bloom at #602.

I'm working on a new bookmarklet that will do this... it should be ready by Sunday.

Thanks IE for making it easy! Your labor is appreciated :)

 
They are allowing 5 entries per account this week instead of 3 so I'm thinking that will get rid of the overlay, it was nice while it lasted.

Did anyone get their tickets yet for this week? I finished ahead of all 3 and haven't recieved the tickets yet.

 
No ticket yet.

Wish I had realized previously that you could have multiple entries in this. Passed up some free money.

Yea I'm supposed to have 7 tickets for the final, only 4 showing up.
 
Can you join the game from the Fanduel lobby, or do you have to click the link from footballguys.com? I had two entires qualify this last weekend, but I joined from the Fanduel lobby.

Can you win multiple tickets each week? The rules say the max # of entries in week 11 is 10. I just assumed that meant no more than a ticket a week.

Yes

What's this now?
I wasn't aware the max number of entries was 10. I won 1 in week 1, 3 in week 2, and 3 in week 3. The only tickets that haven't shown up yet are my 3 week 3 wins. Anyone get theirs yet?

On FanDuel Go to: My Accounts, then click on the blue "tickets" at the top of the page. All but this week should show up.

 
Yes, you can win multiple tickets per week. Also, yes, you are capped at 10 entries to the week 11 tournament. I plan to keep playing even when I get to 10 tickets to though.

I agree with a lot of the gripes in this thread but those are fanduel limitations (out of FBG's control as they can't add features to fanduel's site -- although it would be nice if they would post their scores in this thread or have a link to their scores so we don't have to search -- thank you IE for posting this past week's scores!).

For how much money fanduel brings in and as easy it would be just to display another table or two on a web page, I hope they start adding some more features to their site soon. I'd also like to see a grid for each tourney you are in that lists every player and their % owned, so I don't have to go clicking on random teams until I find the player I'm looking for to see how many people picked him.

Here is the new bookmarklet to find the 3 FBG staff members.

:thumbup: thank you!

 
Looks like jigandreel is the best this week so far. 116 + Edelman (and whatever Graham does the rest of the game, probably not much).

I couldn't find Bloom.
