To qualify for the FHWC, DraftKings players must win an entry ticket to the $600K FHWC (the “Prize”). Forty (40) tickets will be awarded to players who participate in an FHWC qualifier contest (a “Qualifier”) and win a ticket to the FHWC by finishing first place in the Qualifier (each a “Prize Winner”). Each Prize Winner shall be subject to these Contest Rules in addition to the contest rules for each Qualifier.
The FHWC Contest will be held on Saturday, May 1st, 2021 (the “FHWC Contest Day”).

QUALIFIERS
If one or more DraftKings players tie in a Qualifier, in which the tie determines who wins the “ticket” to the FHWC, there will be a tiebreaker playoff contest between the tied DraftKings Players, to determine the Qualifier Winner. DraftKings will determine the timing and structure of the tiebreaker playoff contest in DraftKings’ sole and absolute discretion.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRIES
A DraftKings player may only win a maximum of three (3) entries to the FHWC Contest. If a player chooses to play in additional FHWC qualifier contests after the player has won three entries to FHWC and happens to win an additional qualifier, the player will receive $0 for the player’s additional entry and the ticket will be awarded to second place. If a player wins multiple qualifier contests that were live at the time the player wins a third entry to the FHWC, the player will receive the cash value of the additional tickets won ($15,000 per ticket). DraftKings may rerun additional qualifiers.
TIEBREAKERS
If one or more DraftKings players tie in the FHWC Contest, DraftKings may administer a playoff contest between the tied DraftKings players, the timing and structure of which shall be determined by DraftKings in DraftKings’ sole discretion, to determine the finalists or winners, as the case may be, of FHWC Contest. In the event of a tie for any position in the FHWC online Final Contest, DraftKings’ standard tiebreaker rules apply.
