[PRE ANN] Open Public Beta Daily Fantasy Sports [Bounties for Beta Testers]

[NicoDFS]

I have a question regarding the contest. If the entries are not full let's say there are only 3 entries out of 20 slots, will the contest still start on the set schedule? If so, will the Prize pool still remains?

There are two types of contests, normal contests need to fill all 20 slots in that example, if the the contest dose not fill by the end of the countdown all entry fees are returned to the player.
The other type is a Guaranteed to start contest, which means that even if only 3 out of 20 slots are taken the contest will still start and the winner or winners will be awarded the full prize pool.
In fantasy sports when a Guaranteed to start contest dose not fill up  this is called an overlay because the site itself is guaranteeing the prize pool, whereas a in a normal contest the entry fees cover the prizes.

2nd JeremyB, joe_phoenix, fikshun and cryptofutureis have been awarded the bug bounties, thank you for your help and input please keep the feedback coming.
We have made a few fixes already this morning and we expect all reported issues to be resolved by the end of the day.

Thanks for that!

Another point (it is some rule or a bug?): I have 2 lineups.
If I click on "Join Contests" button on the second lineups, I have a list of contest available to join.
If I click on "Join Contests" button on the first lineups, I have no contest available to join.

Could you please post or PM me with a screen shot, if you saved a lineup for a future date and there are no contests for that date yet that could be he reason, but I need to see the screen shot to be sure. Thank you

Quick Update About How Lineups Work.

After you enter a contest and draft a team that team will appear in the MY LINEUPS page.
This is in case you draft a team and later decide you want to change your team or you find out the pitcher you drafted was not going to start that day.
This give you a change to swap out players from your team up to 5 min before the game starts. After that lineups should be locked.

After that contest ends or is canceled you need to create a new lineup. This in part is to prevent cheating. Lets say you enter a contest for a game
that starts at 7:05PM, but there is another game at 8:00PM. Well first the players from the teams thats started at 7:05 wont be available from the draft pool
and second since you would know the stats of the players from the early games if we allowed the early lineups to be used in later games that would be cheating. 

There is also a CREATE A LINEUP link at the top (currently being updated)

This is where you can draft a team and save that lineup for a future date that you pick from. When a contest is available for that date you can enter that lineup into the contests up to 5 min before the start.

Hope that makes since and was helpful

when I want make a line up sometimes player cannot listed in my team ?

[JeremyB]

One question: I still have a contest in 12h, but I'm unable to see the associated lineup.
If I go in My Contests and click Edit on the contest line, I'm redirected to the lobby.
In the lobby if I click Entry Full, nothing happens.
Then if I go in My Lineups, all are flagged as "Completed".
Is it the expected behaviour?
