How Contests Work

Scoring

Reignmakers UFC scoring will work the exact same as the DraftKings’ DFS scoring system users are accustomed to:

For more information on how the MMA scoring works on DraftKings, visit our Rules & Scoring page.

All lineups will feature a captain. Whichever fighter users place in their captain spot will receive a 1.5x bonus for all statistics accrued. Our DFS product has an entire page dedicated to MMA Captain Mode if looking for more information.

Contest Rarity Requirements

All Reignmakers cards have a series of properties associated with them and these properties impact the way you play the game.

Card rarity is the most commonly used property to gate contests. Every contest will have rarity rules tied to entry.

The rarity requirements needed from Reignmakers UFC cards for the CORE, RARE, ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER tier contests for 2023 are shown below:

Note: Captains must be at the rarity tier of the contest or higher, so a RARE contest requires a captain to be at least of the RARE tier, ELITE contest requires a captain to be at least of the ELITE tier, etc.

Contest Fighter Requirements

Rosters are considered eligible as long as they include five (5) fighters scheduled to fight from a given event. No duplicate fighters are allowed. If a user owns multiple Fighter Game Cards of the same fighter, they may be used in separate lineups but not within the same lineup. Example: Ian Machado Garry cannot be rostered twice within the same five (5) fighter lineup.

Contest Types for Pay-Per-Views Moving Forward

2024 Pay-Per-Views will include contests at all rarity levels moving forward. Essentially, each Pay-Per-View will include a CORE contest, a RARE contest, an ELITE contest, a LEGENDARY contest and a REIGNMAKER contest.

Contests for 2023 cards have begun in 2024 and Pay-Per-Views specifically will pay out in $750,000 in cash prizing over the course of the 2024 season.

Prizing

UFC 303/IFW contests will feature $275,000 in cash prizing open-posted. There will be no additional bonus prizing offered for this event based on pack sell-through.

Pack Price and Odds of Getting CORE vs RARE

The cost of a UFC 303/IFW Side Set Special Edition Pack will be $44.99, and each pack will guarantee at least one (1) fighter game card that is of the RARE rarity tier or higher (which includes ELITE, LEGENDARY and REIGNMAKER). All 26 fighters scheduled to fight at UFC 303 will be included in the pack pool.

Each fighter in the UFC 303/IFW Side Set Special Edition Pack pack pool will have 1,700 CORE editions, 400 RARE editions, 100 ELITE editions, 20 LEGENDARY editions and one (1) REIGNMAKER edition, equating to 59,800 total CORE-tier cards (only 59,799 included in the UFC 303/IFW Side Set Special Edition Pack pool), 15,600 total RARE-tier cards, 2,600 total ELITE-tier cards, 520 total LEGENDARY-tier cards and 26 total REIGNMAKER-tier cards within the UFC 303/IFW Side Set Special Edition Pack pool.

One REIGNMAKER-tier edition of each fighter will also be auctioned off via the DraftKings Marketplace with a $1 starting bid and bid increment of $50.
