Hey friends!

We're playing around with the idea of an exciting new type of DFS contest and we want your input! Imagine a DFS contest that spans multiple sports, within the same game, where you could draft a dream team featuring stars like Patrick Mahomes, Scottie Scheffler, and Conor McGregor. Picture yourself managing a lineup that stretches across NFL, PGA, and UFC, all in one thrilling weekend sweep.

💡 The Multi-Sport DFS Contest Idea:

  • Combine athletes from different sports into one fantasy lineup.
  • Enjoy a weekend packed with action from your favourite sports.
  • Flex your strategic muscles by mixing and matching athletes based on matchups, form, and schedules.

💬 We Want Your Feedback:

  • What do you think about the concept of a Multi-Sport DFS contest?
  • Are there specific sports combinations you're excited about?
  • Any particular rules or features you think should be included?

Share your thoughts, suggestions, and any creative twists you’d like to see. Your feedback is highly valued and could help shape this into a reality. Dive into the discussion below and let us know what you think!

This would be an awesome way to celebrate. I'd love to play this on Sports Equinox days or holidays with smaller slates of multiple sports like Thanksgiving or New Years Day. For lineup construction, I'd like to see something like this for NFL/NBA:

QB, RB, WR/TE, Football Flex, G, F, Basketball Flex for 7 total spots. Use traditional scoring, and build teams with a typical $50k DraftKings budget.

NFL and MLB could be much the same with a roster that includes QB, RB, WR/TE, Football Flex, P, IF, and OF.

I would be very down with a lineup that needs 2 people from each sport involved. Salaries sound like they'd be a headache. So tiers might be easier?

To avoid the scoring alignment concerns, seems like rosters should require set number of players for each sport used (ex: all lineups have 2 NBA, 2 MLB, 1 MMA, 1 NASCAR); that way point value possibilities s are comparable across rosters rather than building with favoritism toward a higher scoring sport (or impossible task of trying to make similar performance in different sports evenly weighted)

I came here to say the same thing, would prefer that lineups require X # of spots per sport so that I can wrap my brain around the roster construction puzzle
But
I’m also curious to see what would happen if there were a Thunderdome version with no roster construction rules

Basically could be set up similar to showdown slate. But maybe not have any salaries. Just have a captain spot that play your player/sport of choice. Baseball, football and basketball combined format would be fun. Since those sports have similar scoring structures

Sounds like a fantasic idea! Agree with others that you will need some way to align the scoring between the sports and that a set number of players from each sport is probably the way to go. Would love if PGA can be mixed into the contest, but the PGA scoring is so much different than other sports that it may not work well.

What if this was done in a tier format? Could have QB, RB, WR, PGA Favorite, PGA Pin Seeker, MLB Pitcher, MLB Slugger, NBA Guard, NBA Forward and have various options in each category.
