You can now import your Tennis results and get full support in RT, with filtering, graphing and cohort analysis.
Fantasy Tennis is here, and RotoTracker is ready!
A week or two back, DraftKings started offering tennis contests. To play, you draft six players while staying under the $50,000 salary cap. Contests last just one round of a tennis tournament, with players graded on a variety of performance metrics in their match: Games and sets won and lost, aces and double faults, plus bonuses for taking clean sets, winning the match in straight sets, among many others. Contests for Wimbledon are running now in the lobby.
And of course, RotoTracker is there to help you understand how you're performing. We updated the site to offer first-class support for DraftKings Tennis.
That means tennis files will be correctly imported and classified, with a new symbol to help you identify your tennis results. You'll find a tennis filter in the sports dropdown, and it will be listed in the sport cohort report.
RotoTracker, the world's leading bankroll and results tracking tool for Daily Fantasy Sports, now handles an incredible 15 sports across five daily fantasy sports sites! This includes first-class support for Turkish Euroleague and and WNBA,.

DraftKings is now running fantasy contests for Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and we've updated RotoTracker to support it!
Any DraftKings contest results with EuroLeague entries will be correctly imported and classified. As you'd expect, you'll find EuroLeague in your sport filter dropdown, in the sport cohort, and we've also added the 2017-2018 EuroLeague season, so you'll find a filter and cohort for that too. Woop!
If you were one of the first to enter the EuroLeague contests over the weekend and upload before this announcement, you will have found that these entries were skipped over. You'll just need to delete your latest DraftKings file upload then do a fresh import, either with an upload or with RotoTracker Sync, your EuroLeague results will import correctly.
RotoTracker now handles 14 sports, across five daily fantasy sports sites — no other tool on the market offers close to this level of support! This includes first-class support for WNBA, which we added back in July, and exclusive support for DraftKings Pick'em and Arcade formats!

Over the Summer of 2017, DraftKings added two new types of contest ‐ Arcade and Pick'em.
Arcade Mode, to give it its full title, was a simplified contest type for MLB (other sports maybe be coming) where players select one pitcher and five hitters, with no positional requirements on the hitters. Contest are focused on a smaller group of games rather than a full slate, and the points scoring system was changed up to add more variety. You can find out more about this format here.
Pick'em is a similar simplified format, tried for both MLB and NFL. Rather than a salary cap, you draft a team by simply picking one player from each tier. There's around eight tiers in total. More info here.
In August 2017, DraftKings started exporting this contest "style" — Classic, Pick'em and Arcade — in the entry history CSV. RotoTracker is the only tool available that correctly support this new field, letting you view a cohort and filter to only one contest style.
Any contests played after August 2017 will be correctly categorized as Classic, Pick'em and Arcade, there's nothing you need to do. If you are currently a free user and are considering upgrading to RotoTracker+, you won't need to do anything — the minute you purchase a Bronze, Silver and Gold plan, all your existing data will be correctly categorized instantly.
Your first point of interest will be the new Style cohort report, which shows you your performance grouped by style. Note that, if you play on other sites, these will all be classified as "Classic / No Style."
Like all Cohort reports, you can use the full filter functionality to narrow down your results, download the table in CSV, and use Cohort Graphing to chart this data.
There's also a Style filter, which applies to all your reports. Say you want to exclude all your results to just Classic contests: Simply set the filter, and then every graph and report will filter out all Arcade and Pick'em contests. Simple!
