Game Types

Sports from the Basement currently offers two game types:

Fantasy Games:

Fantasy Games are traditional daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests where you select a group of players and earn points based on their on-field performance in a variety of categories.

Team Picks Games:

Team Picks Games allows you to select teams you think will win by the most points. Points are awarded to you based on the point differential of the game only (ie. if a team wins by 7 points, they earn 7 points).

Featured Games

 

From time to time, we’ll also offer special contests with additional cash prizes, so keep a look out for those.

Entering a Game

From the lobby, click ‘Enter’ to enter a contest. Once on the entry screen, choose your players from the list by clicking the ‘+’ sign to add to your roster. Your roster must stay within the salary cap and must feature the correct number of players and positions.

Editing Your Entry

If you want to make changes to your lineup, simply click ‘Edit’ from the lobby. You can edit your entry up until the start time – usually the start of the first event in the slate.

Follow Along Live

You can see all your live contests by going to the ‘SFTB Picks Games’ navigation and going to ‘Live Games’. Here you can see your currently live contests, as well as your current ranking and score. Click ‘View’ to see more details of each contest.

See Your Game History

To see all your past contests, simply click ‘Game History’ in the ‘SFTB Picks Games’ Navigation item (or click here).

Using Your Points for Rewards

Once a contest is over, credits will be awarded to the winner(s). If a contest features real cash prizes as well as credits, an email will be sent to the email address on file for the winner(s). Cash payouts are made via PayPal in 3-5 business days.

You can redeem your points for prizes using our Rewards Center located under the ‘Account’ menu.

The Fine Print

Using more than one account to create an advantage for yourself is strictly prohibited. SFTB runs duplication-detecting programs, and we will discontinue accounts, reverse winnings, and cancel all prizes to anyone involved.

All contests close at the start time of the first contest in the slate. In the event that a sports contest is canceled, all players in that contest will receive 0 points.

Stats used in our games come from a variety of trusted sources and in a variety of different methods and timelines. If you believe that the stats reported are incorrect, please contact us through this site within 24-hours of the close of the contest. We will investigate each reported instance, and correct any discrepancies.

Ties will result in a split of any credit or real cash winnings.

Players are salaried based on their involvement with a given team. If a player changes teams after the publication of salaries, that player may be awarded ZERO points for their involvement. Check all player/team selections before saving your lineup.
