What happens if a player doesn’t play (DNP)?

A player must meet the minimum participation requirement for their sport before their pick can be graded. If they don’t, the pick is treated as a Push and removed from the lineup.

Basketball

The player must record game time.

  • 0 minutes played → Push
  • Any playing time → all stats count, including zero
  • Missing from the final box score → Push

Soccer

Only starters count.

  • Named in the official starting XI → pick is eligible
  • Substitute who enters the game → Push
  • Unused substitute → Push
  • Named starter who records 0 minutes → Push

Baseball

  • Hitters must record at least one plate appearance
  • Pitchers must throw at least one pitch
  • Scratched players or players who never appear → Push

Tennis

The player must play at least one point, serving or receiving.

If a player retires during the match:

  • If the player has already passed the line → More wins
  • If the result is still undecided → Push
  • Walkover before play begins → all picks from that match Push

Cricket

For batting picks, the player must bat or face at least one ball.

If the player does not have an innings → Push.

Long-format cricket matches may take longer to settle.

Football (NFL)

There is no minimum playing-time requirement.

If the player appears in the official stats, their recorded stats are graded as final.

If the player is completely absent from the final stats because they were inactive or did not play → Push.

What happens after a DNP Push?

A pushed pick is removed from your lineup. Your lineup is then settled based on the remaining eligible picks.

If fewer than 2 graded picks remain, the entry is fully refunded.
