Splash Sports QuickPicks Free Pick Rule
What is a Free Pick?
A Free Pick is a promotional pick where Splash Sports has lowered a player's statistical projection below the regular projection for that player and stat. For example, a player's points projection may be lowered from 20.5 to 0.5. Free Picks are labeled "Free Pick" on the board and show the regular projection crossed out next to the lowered projection. Free Picks are offered on "More" only. Unlike other picks, a Free Pick does not display an implied probability.
Is a free pick guaranteed to be correct?
No. A Free Pick is graded on the player's actual statistics, like any other pick, and can be incorrect. For example, a player may be injured early in the event or may not reach the lowered projection.
Who can use a free pick?
Free Picks are offered for a limited time and may be available to all users or only to selected users. Each eligible user may use each Free Pick once, on one entry. Splash Sports may limit the total number of users who can use a Free Pick. Once that limit is reached, the Free Pick is no longer available. A Free Pick is used once the entry that contains it is accepted.
What are the requirements for an entry with a free pick?
The entry must include at least one other pick and meet all other entry requirements in these Rules, including players from at least two different teams. A Free Pick counts toward the number of picks in your entry.
A Free Pick may have additional requirements, such as a required number of picks or a maximum entry fee. These are shown before you submit, and you can't submit an entry that doesn't meet them.
The entry fee must be paid in cash. Credits and vouchers can't be used on an entry with a Free Pick.
A Free Pick can't be combined with any other promotion on the same entry, including a Payout Boost, a No Sweat or another Free Pick.
How does a free pick affect my multiplier?
When we calculate your entry's multiplier, a Free Pick counts as a 50% probability pick, no matter how far the projection was lowered. Correlation still applies. Your exact multiplier and potential payout are always shown before you submit.
How is a free pick scored?
A Free Pick is graded at the lowered projection. If the player is a DNP or the pick is a push or voided, it's handled the same way as any other pick, as described in the Perfect Score section. No replacement Free Pick or other compensation is provided.
Can Splash Sports change or remove a free pick?
Yes. Splash Sports may change, suspend or end a Free Pick at any time. If a Free Pick ends, is removed or reaches its user limit before you submit, it's removed from your entry. Entries already accepted are not affected.
What happens if my entry with a free is pick cancelled?
The Free Pick use is returned if you cancel the entry during the two-minute edit window, or if Splash Sports voids the entry. You can only use the Free Pick again if it's still available.
