By participating in any of GridRival's Real Money Games, you agree to be bound by the following rules and terms in addition to GridRival's House Rules and general Terms of Service.

Users will work towards building the most effective lineup of elements (either drivers/riders and constructors) with the available fantasy budget (typically $100,000,000.) Each user will choose six (6) elements on their lineup. Once they enter their lineup into a contest, the user is unable to cancel the entry for any reason.

The user’s selected lineup will accumulate fantasy points based on the real-world performance of the lineup’s elements during the qualifying and race events. After each event, the user will be ranked against other users on the contest leaderboard based upon how many fantasy points they accumulated during the weekend's event.

Contests marked “Sprint” are contests including three (3) or more users. Contests marked “Head to Head” are contests that only include two (2) users.

The user may elect to join a contest without a lineup. In this circumstance, it is up to the user to fill the lineup prior to the start of the event (known as “lockdown.”) GridRival is not liable for any users that reserve a lineup but forget to finalize it.

Each user is allowed to use one "Talent Driver" during the event. The Talent Driver will earn DOUBLE points. Only drivers with salaries below a certain threshold are eligible as talent drivers. This threshold may be different based on each racing series.

Drivers who are eligible to be selected as talent drivers are denoted with a star icon next to their name during the lineup selection process. You may change your talent driver anytime the game is not in lockdown.

Prior to every event, the game will go into lockdown, at which point you will no longer be able to modify your lineup. Lockdown timing will vary from contest to contest.

For example, if a particular contest includes the ability to earn fantasy points based on qualifying position, the game will lock down at the start of qualifying. If this is not the case, it’s likely that lockdown will commence at the start of the race itself. Please review each contest carefully before joining to ensure you understand when the game goes into lockdown. Once lockdown is activated, the contest has officially started, and users will no longer be eligible to modify their lineup.

If a contest is scheduled to go into lockdown at the start of a practice or qualifying event, and either session is canceled, the game will still go into lockdown at the previously scheduled and listed start time.

In the rare event that the session start time associated with lockdown is modified, GridRival may attempt to update the new lockdown time to the best of our ability. GRIDRIVAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR CHANGES TO OFFICIAL EVENT SCHEDULES THAT OCCUR WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE ORIGINAL VERIFIED LOCKDOWN TIME.

The allocation of points for each individual contest may differ. Please reference each contest's scoring section prior to joining for a breakdown of how the contest will be scored. This can be viewed by tapping the “scoring” icon on any contest entry screen.

FANTASY POINTS ARE NOT ONLY AWARDED FOR FINISHING POSITIONS.

If a racing series uses an alternative qualifying format, GridRival will use the results of the qualification format that ultimately determines the starting grid position of the race.

For example, F1 will occasionally run a "Sprint Race" format to qualify drivers for the race and use their standard qualifying format to qualify drivers for the Sprint Race. In this scenario, qualifying points will be assigned based on the finishing result of the Sprint Race, NOT based on the qualifying event used to determine the grid at the start of the sprint race.

Prizes vary based on a number of factors, including the number of users, entry fee size, and GridRival’s rake. To view a specific contest's prizes, tap on the “prizes” icon in any contest entry screen.

Daily Fantasy prize pools are structured in 1 of 3 ways:

Unless a contest is marked “guaranteed,” contests that do not fill all entry positions by contest lockdown will not run, and all entry fees will be refunded to the users who have entered. To avoid this happening, we recommend finding a contest that is close to full or inviting friends to participate.

In the event that a driver does not start a qualifying event, they will not receive qualifying points, regardless of any official rank. A driver will be deemed to have started qualifying once they complete at least one qualifying lap.

In the event that a driver does not start a race, they will not receive associated race points, regardless of any official rank. A driver is deemed to have started a race if they participate in any formation or pace lap prior to the official race start.

In the rare event that a driver does not record a qualifying time, they will be ranked in accordance with official sanctioning body results. If there are no official results that rank the driver, GridRival will rank the driver at our sole discretion and likely based on distance traveled, laps completed in qualifying, or starting grid position.

In the event that a driver starts but does not finish a race, their finish position will be ordered by the number of laps completed. For example, in a series with 30 drivers, if two drivers DNF, the first driver to DNF would rank 30th, and the second driver to DNF would rank 29th. If the two drivers that DNF are on the same lap, GridRival will rank them in accordance with the official results published by the sanctioning body's website. Typically, the driver who was further ahead will rank higher; however, this may not always be the case. In all cases not covered in this description, the rank will match official scoring by the relevant sport or sport-sanctioning body as is displayed on their website.

In the event that a driver is DQ’d for any reason, that driver will be awarded 0 points for qualifying or for the race, depending on which they were DQ’d from

If a race is delayed before it is scheduled to start and is rescheduled to a later time, GridRival reserves the right to update contest start times to match the start time of the event or to cancel the contest and refund entry fees.

In the event that qualifying is canceled, but a race still takes place, no qualifying points will be assigned to any drivers in contests in which qualifying points are used. Qualifying position in the app will be replaced with the official starting grid position decided by the sport’s sanctioning body.

Points for Net Positions Gained / Overtake will be based on starting grid position.

When a race is canceled, GridRival will refund all entry fees.

In the event that a sporting venue is changed after a contest has been filled, GridRival reserves the right to apply all entry fees to the new event. The user will be able to make edits to their lineup as usual up until the start of the event’s lockdown period. Modifications to existing venues do not count as a “venue change.”

If an event ends without the scheduled number of laps being completed (most often due to weather), GridRival will score the event based on the order of drivers classified in the official results. If there are no classified results, the event will count as "canceled."

In the event that a driver is substituted for any reason, the replacement driver will fill the subbed driver’s position and accrue fantasy points on their behalf. The user may remove a substitute driver from their lineup at any point up until lockdown.

IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE AND INFORMED OF EVENTS THAT MAY AFFECT THEIR FANTASY LINEUP’S PERFORMANCE AND MAKE CHANGES ACCORDINGLY.

In rare cases, substitutions may not be reflected in the user interface if they occur close to, or after the event has gone into lockdown. In these circumstances, the rules above still apply.

After the completion of a contest, GridRival will wait a maximum of 24 hours for any potential penalties or violations to be noted by the official sanctioning body. If no penalties or violations are pending, GridRival may settle the contest and award prizes based on the official results listed at the time.

If an investigation has been opened during the 24-hour window but not closed by its completion, GridRival will wait a maximum of 14 days after the completion of the event for the sport's sanctioning body or league to issue a decision or penalty that will finalize the official results. If no decision has been made, payouts will be settled using the most current results available to GridRival at the time of settlement.

IF SUBSEQUENT PENALTIES ARE ISSUED AFTER OUR SETTLEMENT PROCESS IS COMPLETED, GRIDRIVAL WILL NOT REFUND PAYOUTS OR RESCORE THE EVENT.

IN ALL INSTANCES IN WHICH AN UNEXPECTED OR PREVIOUSLY UNEXPERIENCED CIRCUMSTANCE OCCURS THAT AFFECTS RESULTS IN A WAY THAT HAS NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR OFFICIAL RULES, THE DECISION TO SETTLE OR REFUND ENTRY FEES IS AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF GRIDRIVAL.

In the event that a post-race decision is made by the official sport-sanctioning body or league that affects GridRival’s scoring and falls within the settlement timelines listed above, we will rescore the event prior to settling payouts. The same is true in the instance that GridRival encounters an issue with its software or if an error in data from a 3rd party data provider is experienced.

On rare occasions, payouts may need to be revoked and reissued due to a mistake in the contest creation process, scoring, or grading. In these instances, we will always use the payout structure dictated prior to the contest beginning upon resettlement.

Ties will be settled in the following manner:

In the event that you receive a prize or payout from a 3rd party, you acknowledge that the 3rd party may require tax documentation such as (but not limited to) a W2-G to complete the transaction.

GridRival reserves the right to cancel any contest at any time for any reason. Typically, this would only happen if we are experiencing a technical outage or failure. It may also happen if we have reason to believe the contest is circumventing our rules or is affecting the integrity of our game. Canceled entries will result in entry fees being immediately credited back to your GridRival wallet.
