Any of you able to help me decipher the different college football contests? I've looked all over the website, googled it, and messaged them for help, but can't find a good description of the contests. Each contest has a descriptive window, but it isn't much help. I'm a complete newbie to the fantasy football thing, so any help would be appreciated.

Its similar to any other fantasy football, but its not for a whole season. You get a "salary" to buy players for that week and fill up a roster. Players get points based on how they play (touchdowns, yards, sacks, ect.). Depending on what type of game you enter, you can win different amounts of money. If you're new to fantasy football I recommend playing in the free games or games that only costs a couple of dollars for a few weeks. Some people on there make thousands (some even millions) from people who are less experienced.

Do you have a specific question about the contests?

In general, the different contests varies in these fields: start time, entry fee, and contest type which could be filtered on the left-hand panel.

The first two are self-explanatory where the third is broken down into the fields listed on the left-hand panel. The most popular one is tournament (where the big bucks are). If you are familiar with online poker, the fantasy sports tournament is like a poker tournament where you pay an entry price to play. Draftkings usually pays out to the top 20-22% where the top prize is 20-35% of the total pot.

I hope that helps.
