Here's Haley Hintze's article about it: http://www.flushdraw.net/news/phil-g...te-draftboard/

This is actually a good idea.

Draftboard is attempting to be the new "third option" for DFS (behind FanDuel and DraftKings, who hold 90% of the market).

The twist will come from a new system preventing pro players from running out hundreds or thousands of entries to crush recreational players.

They will accomplish this by "pairing" multiple entries to go up against each other.

For example, if a recreational player enters once, he will only be against the first entry of each player on the site, no matter how many other times they enter.

So what of the remaining multiple entries? They will go against other players with multiple entries! So a 2nd entry will compete against everyone else's 2nd entry, the 3rd entry will be against everyone else's 3rd entry, and so on. This greatly decreases the value of multiple entries, as your competition will be getting increasingly tough (presumably) with each additional entry.

Great idea, as the DFS bumhunters were basically ruining the entire concept of these sites by running complex analysis tools and then blanketing each tournament with hundreds or thousands of optimal entries (thus largely removing luck/variance which should otherwise be a huge part of DFS).

Will this catch on or be successful? Who knows?

Unfortunately, 20 US states are restricted from Draftboard. These are: Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. Puerto Rico also cannot play on Draftboard. This is done in order to prevent legal issues with states where DFS is either illegal or questionable.
