Beta contest rules

Participation requires a RankArena account that has confirmed 18+ beta eligibility.

Each beta contest uses a 20-quarterback player pool and asks users to pick and rank 10 quarterbacks by passing yards.

Actual rank is measured against the full 20-player pool, not only against the 10 quarterbacks on your board.

If quarterbacks tie in the final stat, they share an actual rank range. RankArena does not break player-stat ties with completions, attempts, interceptions, touchdowns, alphabetical order, or manual judgment.

The contest page identifies its locking policy. Existing whole-board contests lock at their displayed deadline. Player-level contests lock each player when their game begins.

In a player-level contest, a selected player stays at their exact submitted rank after kickoff. A player who was not on your submitted board cannot be added after kickoff. Other unlocked ranks remain editable. Submit all 10 players to enter; saving a private draft does not submit a board or reserve a player.

You may submit a first board after earlier games begin only if 10 eligible, unstarted players remain. All editing closes when the final included game begins, or earlier if the contest is canceled or restricted. Game delays do not automatically unlock players.

RankArena uses NFL statistical data supplied by MySportsFeeds as its designated source for contest scoring. References to MySportsFeeds identify the source of statistical data only. MySportsFeeds does not sponsor, endorse, administer, or assume responsibility for RankArena or any RankArena contest.

Final results use saved final stats from MySportsFeeds, rank-differential scoring, and the locked RankArena tiebreakers: exact picks, one-off-or-better picks, closest placement of actual QB1, then passing-touchdown checks for the user's selected QB1 through QB5.

RankArena aims to finalize beta results within 24 hours after the final contest game ends.

Lower total score wins the beta leaderboard. Beta standings do not create cash prizes, payouts, or withdrawable balances.

There is no cash-prize cancellation threshold during free beta. Current threshold: N/A during free beta with no cash prizes.

RankArena scores each contest using the provider data saved and approved by RankArena after the final contest game ends.

RankArena may delay finalization or correct, rerun, or cancel results when provider data is unavailable, incomplete, inconsistent, or corrected. RankArena will resolve data discrepancies in good faith under these Rules.
