DraftKings Shark Finder - Easily Avoid Sharks/Pro Players in Head to Head Matchups & Small Leagues (1 Viewer)

Long time lurker here, but a long time reader (and fantasy player).  I've literally visited this forum (along with many others) hundreds if not thousands of times for various reasons but thus far haven't felt as though I had anything worthwhile to share with the community.  Well I think this is worth sharing and think it's about time I do so...an extension for Chrome that allows you to easily avoid sharks on DraftKings head-to-head contests (soon to be updated to support contests that have a max contestant number of 20 or less).

You can get the extension that I'm sharing just with my fellow RotoGrinders here on the Google Chrome Marketplace (approaching 1k users :) ):

NEWLY CREATED - FanDuel Shark Finder

Newly created FireFox extension from Mozilla Marketplace:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/draftkings-shark-finder/

For those of you who don't know, DraftKings ranks contestants on a level of 0 to five with a badge for player with an experience level of 1 through 5 (and no badge for those who haven't yet earned an experience badge).  Those badges can be see on DraftKings here: https://www.draftkings.com/experience-badges

The extension ranks each available head-to-head contest (soon to support 20 or less competitor contests) with a color coding system (green = level 0 or 1 player available to play against, yellow = level 2 or 3 player to play against, red = level 4 or 5 player to play against).  It also displays the total number of level 5 & 4 contestants, the total number of level 3 & 2 contestants & the total number of level 1 & 0 contestants.

Once the extension is installed it does this by adding a small marker that looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/9BE6k8L.png next to all head-to-head contests.  The first number is the total number of contestants you can play against that are ranked either 5 or 4.  The second number is the total number of contestants you can play against that are ranked either 3 or 2.  The last number is the total number of contestants you can play against that are ranked either 1 or haven't yet earned any experience badge.

You can see a video demonstrating the use of the extension here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcsopmWTEO8

Here is a screenshot of how the DraftKings head-to-head lobby will look once you install the extension and begin to scroll through the contests: http://i.imgur.com/cbrWL4j.png

Pretty cool man, it's working for me.

Any chance this can get upgraded to larger/non H2H contests?  For instance, breakdown of a 100-man 50/50.

It has been updated to now automatically analyze any/all contests with 10 or less contestants.  Will add an option for the user to designate that number though, so you can get it to analyze contests with up to 100 with the number being set by you.

 
Not sure what you mean...it's definitely not spam.  It works well and is very useful (at least in my opinion, along with the 500+ people already using it).  It's also free :)

Do you have anything like this for Fanduel?
I'm 3/4's of the way finished with the equivalent for FanDuel (since FD released badges as well).  Just have been busy with other projects, but I'll get it incorporated soon enough.

 
Sorry it's been taking me so long to get this updated...particularly because of how far we are into the season.  The FanDuel website change/overhaul threw a couple wrenches into things, but it's finally just about ready :) :) :)
