Team owners must select their roster for the entire playoffs before the first game of the Round of 8 in each NBA conference. Team owners will not be allowed to make roster moves after start of the first game. The strategy of the game is to assemble a 10 player roster that will yield the most points through out the playoffs without replacing players lost when their team is eliminated from the NBA playoffs.

All players on a roster score points in all games played beginning with the Round of 8 playoff games. Once a player's team has been eliminated from the playoffs that player will receive zero additional points for the rest of the Contest.

Scoring Rules

During each Monday to Sunday week, each team earns points based on statistics accumulated by its players that week. Points are awarded to each team according to the point values in each of the statistical categories. A team's total score for each week of the season is a combination of points a team has been awarded in each statistical category.

The statistical categories and point values are listed below:

Statistics for games that are postponed for any reason, including but not limited to work stoppage, facilities, natural disaster, disease, or terrorism, will be applied to the week in which the game is played. The statistics for postponed games will not be applied to the week the game was originally scheduled. If a postponed game is not made up or cancelled, no statistics for that game will be accumulated. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to adjust the fantasy basketball season to match any changes in the length or schedule of the National Basketball Association season such as a late start, mid-season pause, shortened season or NBA playoffs.

Scores and statistics are updated immediately as they are received from our statistics provider. Some events beyond RTFS' control can make this time longer. RealTime Fantasy Sports is not responsible for the timeliness and accuracy of the statistics.

Because the statistics are updated "live", some errors may occur. If so, statistical errors are usually corrected by our stats provider during the course of the NBA game, but may take up to 24 hours to be corrected. If an error occurs and is not corrected by our provider, RTFS will correct the stat ourselves, but only if it is overwhelmingly obvious that the stat is in error. If there is any doubt about the validity of the stat, RTFS will maintain the statistic given by its provider.

All statistics for a game are deemed final at midnight ET fourteen (14) days following the day of completion of the game. RTFS still reserves the right to change any statistic for any player at any time for any unforeseen reason.

In all leagues, no statistics from any exhibition game (such as the NBA All-Star game), one-game end of the season tie breaker games, or playoff play-in games shall be used. Statistics from the championship game of the In-Season tournament shall not be used since that game is an "extra" game on the season schedule for the two teams involved. In non-playoff leagues, no statistics from any playoff game shall be used.

RealTime Fantasy Sports is not responsible for any inaccuracies, representations, statements, graphics or content of materials that are uploaded onto its servers and website from other vendors, including but not limited to the National Basketball Association, SportRadar, and users, members, subscribers, customers or participants.

The Season

The Postseason Shootout Fantasy Basketball season shall run from first game of the Round of 8 in each conference through the final game of the NBA Championship.

Should any team forfeit a playoff game for any reason, players for that team shall receive zero points for the forfeited game. Should the NBA playoffs end early for any circumstance, including but not limited to work stoppage, facilities, natural disaster, disease, or terrorism, the contest will end when the National Basketball League cancels the remainder of of the season. Should the NBA season end before the NBA Championship the league prizes will be chopped between the two contestants with the most points scored at the end of the last completed NBA game.

Should the start of the NBA playoffs be delayed or interrupted for a period of time, the fantasy schedule will be adjusted to match the NBA schedule. RTFS reserves the right to make other adjustments to the fantasy league schedule and timelines.

League Champion

At the conclusion of the NBA Championship playoffs, the team with the most points scored during the fantasy season will be declared the Winner of the league. The 2nd Place finisher shall be the team scoring the second most points during the fantasy season.

In the event that teams are tied with the same number of points scored during the entire season, the prize money for tied teams will be combined and distributed evenly amongst the tied teams. For instance if two teams tie for 1st place, the prize money for 1st and 2ne place will be combined and split evenly between the tied teams.
