The marquee contests: the contests the site's Contest Analysis page opens with one click, as one rule picks them without looking at results (Frank 2026-10-18). Open to every caller, with or without a key.

NFL (league=nfl, season, week; without them the current week): per operator the week's main-slate contest (DraftKings: the Millionaire with the most entries; FanDuel: the Sunday Million with the most entries; else the guaranteed contest with the biggest prize pool), and each primetime night's DraftKings single-game contest (the guaranteed contest with the biggest prize pool), tnf for a Wednesday or Thursday night and mnf for a Monday night.

NBA (league=nba, from, to, at most 14 nights; without them the current Monday to Sunday week in US Eastern time): each night, per operator (DraftKings, FanDuel), the guaranteed contest with an entry fee of $25 or less with the biggest prize pool, then the most entries (a slate with no such contest: the same order over every fee), on the operator's main classic slate. Satellites and qualifiers never count.

Results. The rule names a contest before lock, so an item can be listed with results_open false: show its lock. Once the contest's lineup file exists, the first free_rows (100) entries of its standings, and the lineups of every user with an entry in them, are open to everyone in GET /api/v1/dfs/contests/{contest_id}/standings and /users/{username}/lineups. Every entry needs DFS access. A contest of the archive (NFL before 2026, NBA before 2026-10-20, the preseason included) is named with free false.

Money is in cents, as stored: divide prize_pool_cents and entry_fee_cents by 100.
