9 SEATS REMAINING AT LEADERBOARD 1 FINAL TABLE.

Applies only to Rewind/Live games

1. Game Entry Fees - Contestants can enter Bid Spoker Games for $2, $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100.
2. Experience Level of Players - Player nameplates are color coded to identify the experience level of each participant in a game. A GREEN nameplate identifies someone who has played in less than 100 total Spoker games, a BLUE nameplate identifies someone who has played anywhere from 100 to 999 total Spoker games and a BLACK nameplate identifies someone who has played in at least 1,000 total Spoker games. Games played in the PRACTICE lobby do NOT count towards these totals.
3. Beginner Games - Some Spoker games only permit beginning players in them. These games are labed "BEG" in the game lobby. A beginning player is defined as anyone who has played less than 100 times of any game type. A beginning player is defined as anyone who has played less than 100 combined games from either the Cash Games or Showdown lobbies. There is a beginning game option for every single game type in these two lobbies.
4. Winning Position - Contestants finishing in the top four of their group win money based on their finishing position. 1st place receives 3X their entry fee, 2nd and 3rd place double their entry fee, and 4th place finishers get their entry fee back. The fifth through ninth place finishers of a group do not win any money.

1. Pick a Sport - There are six sports to choose from: baseball, basketball, golf, football, EPL soccer, and hockey.
2. Format - Spoker is played in groups consisting of nine (9) people. These contestants bid on eight teams over 8 rounds. This means one person is eliminated during the bidding process and does not receive a team for the competition.
3. Bidding - A team of six athletes is revealed for each round. Contestants make a percentage bid for the team ranging from 1% to 100% (no decimals allowed). The more desirable the team, the LOWER the bid should be because the lowest bid always wins the team. If a contestant isn't interested in the team up for bid, they can pass. Contestants have 20 seconds to make a bid. If they fail to make a bid in the allotted time, it counts as a "no bid" for the round. Bids are blind so contestants do not know the bids of other members of the group until all bids are in.
4. Securing a Team - The contestant with the LOWEST percentage bid during a round wins that team of six athletes for the game. Once a contestant has secured a team through the bidding process, they have their team for the match and are ineligible to bid again. Submitted bids CAN be changed as long as it is done before the 20 second clock expires.
5. Athlete Pool for Live Games - There are a minimum number of professional sporting events needed to hold a Spoker Live game. If you enter a Spoker Live game and there are no longer enough games left that night (or weekend for football) to hold one, then you will automatically be placed in a game for Spoker Live on the next available date. The date(s) of the game can always be found in your My Games area.

1. Double Edged Sword - Contestants must be very careful and not bid too low because a winning bid counts a second way for the game. It not only guarantees someone the team they desire, but also HOW MUCH their team is worth. The way it works is the winning bid determines the PERCENTAGE of fantasy points the contestant keeps from their team's score in the match. For example, if someone secures their team with a bid of 17%, this means ALL of their athletes are worth EXACTLY 17% of their fantasy point per game average for the game.
2. Bidding Range Shrinks - Bidding Range Shrinks-For the first six rounds, the maximum bid allowed DECREASES by 5% for each new round. For example, the bidding range for Round 1 is 1% to 100% and for Round 2 it is 1% to 95%. Following this process, by the 6th round, it is 1% to 75%. For the 7th and 8th rounds, the bidding range is the SAME for both. The maximum bid permitted for each of these rounds is ALWAYS the AVERAGE of the WINNING BIDS for the first six rounds.

1. Legal Bids - A legal bid is defined as any bid that is submitted during the 20 second bidding window for a round. A "pass" is considered a legal bid. If a contestant fails to make in a bid in 20 seconds, they are given a "no bid" which is NOT considered a legal bid.
2. What Happens When Nobody Submits a Percentage Bid? - If nobody submits a percentage bid for a round, someone still receives the team as long as AT LEAST ONE LEGAL BID (a "pass") is made. When this happens, the team goes to the LAST person on the clock who passed. They receive the team for the highest percentage the bidding range allows for the given round.
3. What Happens When All Remaining Players Fail to Make a Legal Bid? - If a round has ONLY illegal bids, meaning nobody submitted a bid of any type in the 20 second window, the bidding process immediately ends. This rule is in effect to prevent possible collusion. All remaining contestants, who don't have a team, are automatically DISQUALIFIED. This rule underscores the importance of ALWAYS submitting a "pass" (a legal bid) for an undesirable team. Spokered players are ineligible to receive money. This includes situations where they must be listed in a top 4 position due to a high number of spokered players.
4. What If There are Two or More Winning Bids? - If two or more contestants submit the same winning bid for a round, then the contestant who submitted it first receives the team.
5. How will it Register if I "Pass" or have a "No Bid?" - You will be recorded as if you made a non-winning percentage bid.

1. Text Alert - Once your Bid N' Go fills with nine contestants, you will receive a text alert. This alert is a notice announcing your Bid N' Go is about to start. The last player at the table will NOT receive a text alert because it is unnecessary.
2. Internet Connectivity - Players assume the risk for any internet connectivity issues or complete disconnections. If you are experiencing an Internet connection problem, you will see this picture:

3. Determining Event Dates - Spoker Live event dates are determined by two factors---1) the type of sport and 2) the remaining number of live events. For the first factor, some sports are usually one day competitions (baseball and basketball) while some are held over several days (football and golf). A minimum number of live events that have NOT started are required. If there aren't enough, the event date defaults either to the next day (baseball and basketball) or the next weekend (football and golf). For example, football requires four live games. This is because the eight contestants in the group that secure a hand EACH need a starting QB, TE and RB. With four games available, there are at least 8 starting QBs, 8 starting RBs and 8 starting TEs which ensures a tighter competition between hands.

1. Athlete/Team PPG Averages for Rewind Games - The PPG averages for all athletes/teams in the deck of cards can be found here:
   • NFL
   • NBA
   • MLB
   • PGA
   • NHL
   • EPL
2. Scoring Rubric - A team is scored by adding the scores of all six athletes together. Each athlete is scored by taking their fantasy points and then multiplying it by the percentage of points the contestant secured their team with. For example, if a) Brock Purdy is your QB and he has 16 fantasy points AND b) you secured your team with a 50% bid, THEN c) you will receive 50% of Purdy's points for the match. In this case, 50% of 16 is equal to 8.
3. Winners Immediately Known for Rewind Games - Contestants immediately know how they finished in the match because the scoring system for all 6 sports is based on fantasy point per game averages and not live action games. This allows IMMEDIATE scoring for the match once all teams have been secured through the bidding process.
4. Winners Known Later for Live Games - There are two ways contestants can view the scoring of their live game. First, they can watch the fantasy scoring unfold, from the game room, as the live sporting events play out in real time. They can also click on the game in My Games and view the final score once ALL of the live sporting events have concluded.

1. Tiebreaker - If a completed match ends in a tie between two or more contestants, the person who secured their team in the LOWER round of bidding always receives the HIGHER position in the overall group standings. For example, Round 5 is a LOWER draft position than Round 2 so the person securing their team in Round 5 would finish ahead of the person who secured theirs in Round 2 in the event they tied.
