The Voided Picks Policy (Injury Protection) applies only to injuries that occur during active gameplay and are beyond the player’s or team’s control.
This policy does not apply to players who are benched, rested, or ejected for any other non-injury-related reason.
To qualify, the player must leave the game due to injury during the 1st half (or initiating period by sport listed below) and not return to play at any point for the remainder of the game.
If a player returns to the game at any time after leaving, even within the same half (or initiating period), they are no longer eligible for the void policy, and all picks will stand as active.
IMPORTANT: Injury protection applies only to full-game projections and does not apply to partial-game projections. Partial projections include spans such as 1Q, 1H, 2H, 1P, 2P, 3P, F5, and similar markets.
Partial projections do NOT have injury protection.
If a player enters the game during that span and then gets injured, the pick still counts and will settle based on the stats they earned within that span only.
General Rule:
Already Determined Rule
If a player is ruled out of a game and qualifies for the Voided Policy, Payday applies the Already Determined Rule to decide which picks remain active and which to void.
Already Achieved Stats:
Any projections that the player has already met or exceeded will remain valid and not be voided.
Example: If a player has 10 points, all projections of 10 or lower (e.g., 9.5, 8.5) both MORE and LESS selections will stay active since those results are already determined.Unachieved Stats:
Any projections the player did not yet reach (e.g., 11+ points when the player finished with 10) will be voided for both MORE and LESS selections, as the outcome can no longer be determined due to the players exit.General Rule:
Voids only apply to unachieved projections. Anything that’s already determined by official stats will remain valid. Payday may apply voids at its discretion to ensure fairness and compliance.
Recalculating Your Entry After a VOID, DNP, TIE
When a pick in your entry is voided — due to a DNP (Did Not Play), TIE, or any other valid void reason — our system will automatically recheck the entry to make sure it still meets the required rules.
Per Payday Fantasy rules:
Each entry must include predictions on at least two different players, and
Those players must come from at least two different teams.
If a voided pick causes your entry to no longer meet these requirements — for example, if the remaining picks are all from the same team — then the entire entry must be voided.
This is to ensure that every entry continues to follow the original qualification rules, even after adjustments.
