  • Publication number: 20260102707
    Abstract: The disclosed system discussed herein may include systems, methods, and devices for dynamically adjusting contest parameters for a fantasy sports contest. A performance indicator (e.g., passing yards, rushing yards, points scored, assists, rebounds, or goals) associated with a fantasy sports player may be received from a participant of a fantasy sports contest. A selection of a multiplier (e.g., selected from a predefined range that includes values from 2× to 20×) associated with the performance indicator may be received from the participant of the fantasy sports contest. A performance threshold for the fantasy sports player may be determined based on the multiplier. An award may be transmitted to the participant based on the performance threshold and an outcome associated with the selection.

  • Publication number: 20260097319
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for tactical management in fantasy sports contests may include modifying the effects of player performance predictions. Outcomes may be dynamically managed and adjusted based on strategic game modifiers and related strategies. Enhanced user engagement may be facilitated through a modified lineup arrangement that allows for partial successes within player lineups. A dynamic adjustment model may tailor difficulty and reward parameters dynamically based on real-time data, including player performance and external factors, ensuring a flexible fantasy sports gaming experience that adapts to the realities of sports performance and enhances participant satisfaction.

  • Patent number: 12562032
    Abstract: The disclosed system discussed herein may include systems and methods for forming player groups for a peer-to-peer (P2P) fantasy sports contest based on one or more of selections by the user (e.g., selected projections or selected entry fees) and historical participation (e.g., skill, experience, etc.), and determining group payouts based on payout selection criteria, experience, and skill level of individual group members.

  • Publication number: 20250371933
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for dynamically adjusting pricing and associated payouts of fantasy sports contests may utilize one or more computing devices equipped with processors to apply strategic modifiers. Participants may select fantasy sports players and predicted outcomes. A base probability may be determined for the selected players and predicted outcomes. The participants may further apply modifiers (e.g., ranging from a single selection to a combination) to their selection and the base probability may be adjusted to reflect a modified outcome likelihood. Further sophistication may be introduced through consideration of historical performance data and player conditions. Participants may be engaged through a user interface that displays the impact of their modifier choices on potential awards. Entry fees may be calculated and adjusted based on the modified probability of outcomes.

  • Publication number: 20250371942
    Abstract: The disclosed system discussed herein may include systems, methods, and devices for dynamically adjusting contest parameters for a fantasy sports contest. A plurality of base contest parameters may be determined, where the base contest parameters are associated with one or more fantasy sports players and a predicted outcome. One or more adjusted contest parameters may be determined based on a modifier and the plurality of base parameters. A selection may be received from a participant of the fantasy sports contest. The selection may include an indication of the one or more fantasy sports players and the predicted outcome. An indication of the modifier may be received from the participant. An award may be transmitted to the participant based on the modifier, an outcome associated with the selection, and the one or more adjusted contest parameters.
