RULES

Every ‘racing fantasy team’ you build on Grid Master has to have 2 Drivers/riders & 1 constructor/team. You can submit multiple teams in each contest.

Player Combinations

Your Grid Master team can have different combinations of drivers/riders and constructors/teams, but has to be within the 100 Million Virtual money and must qualify the following team selection criteria:

  1. No two drivers/riders from the same real-world team can be part of your fantasy racing team.
    Ex: You cannot select both Lando & Oscar (F1)/ Maverick & Enea (MotoGP)/Pascal & Anthony (FE) as drivers/riders for your fantasy team.

  2. One driver/rider and the constructor/team from the same real-world team can be paired as part of your fantasy team.
    Ex: You can have a combination of Lando & McLaren (F1)/Maverick & Tech3 (MotoGP)/Pascal & Porsche (FE) in your fantasy team.

Turbo Driver

Once you have selected your team (2 drivers/riders + 1 constructor/team), you will have to assign a turbo driver/rider for your team

The turbo driver/rider will give you 2x points scored by them in the actual race. Only the drivers/riders priced under 35 million are eligible to be selected as turbo driver/rider for your fantasy racing team

Prediction Challenge

To successfully submit their teams, every user must answer prediction questions based on their driver/rider and constructor/team choices. These questions are qualifying and race-related and test users’ analytical, research, and decision-making qualities in addition to the absolute game/sports awareness.


Furthermore, this will help a new/casual fan to understand the sport better.

Example 1: What position will your driver/rider be on lap 21?
Predicted answer: 4
Actual answer: 9
Difference: 5 (So, you will be rewarded 7 extra points as per the Grid Master prediction-range points system. For further details, refer to the points section)

Note: These 7 points will be added to your fantasy team’s total.

​

Example 2: Predict the fastest lap time of the race.
Predicted answer: 1:09.824
Actual answer: 1:09.700
Difference: While calculating the difference, the predicted answer will be converted into seconds and compared to the actual answer. In the aforementioned example, the difference is 0.124 seconds.

Note: The difference of 0.124 will be subtracted from your fantasy team’s total.


Your total score will be calculated as follows:

(Driver 1 points) + (Driver 2 points) + (Constructor points) + (Prediction question points) - (Difference in Fastest Lap/Pole Lap Time Prediction points).


The subtraction of the difference in the Fastest Lap or Pole Lap Time Prediction ensures the minimization of tied scenarios, promoting fairness in the scoring process.

Types of Contest based on pot distribution

1.Public cash contests 

These contests are created by Grid Master for everyone to participate in. They are publicly displayed on the app and are open to all. Public contests majorly fall under either of the following categories

  • Flexible Contest: The contest will proceed as long as a minimum of three teams join. Please note that the contest will not be canceled even if all available spots are not filled. The Prize Pool for the contest will increase progressively as additional teams join. Additionally, these contests can be only qualifying, only race day, or qualifying + race day contests. The maximum number of teams allowed per user per contest is 7.

  • Sure Shot Top 10 Contest: The contest will proceed only if a minimum of 100 teams join. In the event that fewer than 100 spots are filled, the contest will be canceled. The Prize Pool is fixed and will be distributed across a maximum of the top 10 positions. Grid Master reserves the sole discretion to determine the allocation of the Prize Pool for any number of positions, up to and including 10 (e.g., for 1, 3, 7, 9, or any other number of spots up to 10). Additionally, these contests can be only qualifying, only race day, or qualifying + race day contests. The maximum number of teams allowed per user per contest is 7.

  • Winner takes it all: This contest rewards only the winner. The entire prize pool will be won by the winner. The contest will proceed as long as a minimum of 2 teams join. Please note that the contest will not be canceled even if all available spots are not filled. The maximum number of teams allowed per user per contest is 1.

  • Head-to-head: This contest is a duel between 2 players directly. The entire prize pool is won by the winner of this contest. The maximum number of teams allowed per user per contest is 1.

​​

2.​Public merch contests 

These contests are organized by Grid Master and are open to all eligible participants. The rewards for these contests do not include cash prizes but consist of in-kind rewards such as merchandise, memorabilia, or tickets to live race
experiences.

​

3.Private cash contests 

These contests are independently created by users, not by Grid Master, and are intentionally exclusive. They are designed to bring motorsport enthusiasts together in private competitions, open only to those invited. Users have complete control to craft their own race weekend experience—set the entry fee, cap the maximum participants, and invite friends or family to join the action. It’s more than just a contest; it’s your personal motorsport showdown, where you decide the stakes and the competitors.

​

Types of Contest based on race sessions
1) Only Qualifying contest - This contest will account only for the qualifying session (and the sprint race, if it’s a sprint weekend) and no other session (Raceday) will impact your scores.
2) Only Race day contest - This contest will account only for the main race and no other session (Qualifying and Sprint) will impact your scores.
3) Qualifying + Race day contest - This contest will account for both qualifying (plus the sprint race, if it’s a sprint weekend) and the main race. The results of these sessions will impact your scores.

Deadlines & Maximum teams

  1. Qualifying - Day Contest:
    Deadline - 5 mins before the start of the qualifying session.

  2. Race - Day Contest:
    Deadline - 5 mins before the start of the main race

  3. Quali+Race Day Contest:
    Deadline - 5 mins before the start of the qualifying session.

Note: Any contest will have a type, format, and corresponding deadline.
Ex— Public, only qualifying-day cash contest, Public, qualifying + race-day merch contest, Private, only race-day cash contest, etc.​

Generic Rules

  1. The final results and payouts from a Grand Prix will be available within 5 business days after the race
    weekend concludes. This reserve period allows for the application of any penalties during or after the race, if necessary.

  2.  For the screening contest (only Race-day contest), only the attendees present at the screening are eligible for rewards. Fantasy teams from non-attendees will be automatically disqualified from the screening contest.

  3.  In a Sure Shot Top 10 contest contest, a minimum of 100 teams are required for the contest to proceed for that particular race weekend. If we do not reach this threshold, the contest will be discontinued, and the money for the submitted teams will be refunded to their respective wallets.

  4.  In a private contest, a 30% platform fee will be deducted. The remaining amount will be added to the prize pool.

  5. We get all our stats from Motorsports Stats (MSS), the world's leading motorsport data provider. However, if there is a clear error from our vendor’s end, we may modify the stats at our discretion.

  6. Once a race has been marked as completed and winners have been declared, no further adjustments will be made to the points awarded. Points awarded for a race will be subject to change only when the race status is “In Progress” or “In Review”

  7. If a participant is found to be under 18 years of age, Grid Master reserves the right to disqualify them and forfeit their prize. Additionally, Grid Master may suspend or terminate their account at its sole discretion.

  8.  If a user is found to have created multiple accounts to bypass Grid Master's verification—using different emails, phone numbers, or duplicate or falsified KYC documents —Grid Master reserves the right to disqualify the user from receiving any rewards (cash or in-kind) and may terminate or block all associated accounts with immediate effect.

Final Results and Prize Distribution Timing

Grid Master shall conduct a comprehensive review of all relevant data following the conclusion of each cash contest to verify the accuracy and integrity of contest outcomes. This review period, which includes any due diligence related to race data, participant conduct, and potential penalties, may extend up to 5 days. Grid Master reserves the right to delay the declaration of final contest results until all necessary checks are completed. Final contest outcomes shall be deemed conclusive upon formal announcement by Grid Master, and prize distribution will only commence thereafter.
By participating, entrants acknowledge and accept that results are not final until declared by Grid Master.

Prize Pool Structure and Finalization

The prize pool for each cash contest is dynamic and determined based on the total number of participants at the time the contest entry period closes (the ‘deadline’). This dynamic structure means that the exact prize pool and corresponding payout amounts are variable until the Deadline, and will only be locked in based on the final count of teams entered. Once the Deadline is reached, Grid Master will calculate the final prize pool and establish the specific payout amounts per winning position under the published prize distribution structure.

​

By entering, participants expressly acknowledge that the prize pool and payouts are not fixed prior to the deadline and accept that the final distribution is contingent upon the total number of entrants. The finalized prize pool and payout amounts, as determined by Grid Master post-deadline, shall be considered binding and conclusive.

Cash withdrawals

Only winnings on the app are eligible for withdrawal only after a mandatory 30% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) deduction, in compliance with applicable regulations.


For instance, if a user deposits INR 200 into their wallet, participates in a contest with an entry fee of INR 100, and secures winnings of INR 10,000, the amount eligible for withdrawal will be INR 10,000. The remaining wallet balance of INR 100, post-contest entry, is not withdrawable. The winnings of INR 10,000 are subject to a 30% TDS deduction, equating to INR 3,000. Consequently, the net amount credited to the user's designated bank account will be INR 7,000 (i.e., INR 10,000 - INR 3,000).


Users may opt to retain their winnings in the app for future contest participation rather than withdrawing them.
However, suppose winnings are utilized for contest entry and subsequently refunded due to a team cancellation before the contest deadline. In that case, the refunded entry fee will be credited to the user's wallet as wallet money, which is non-withdrawable. This refund will not reinstate the withdrawn eligibility of the amount as reward money.


For example, in the scenario outlined above, if the user elects not to withdraw the winnings of INR 10,000 and instead uses INR 100 to join another contest but cancels their team before the deadline, the refunded entry fee of INR 100 will be added to the wallet balance. The amount eligible for withdrawal will then be reduced to INR 9,900, subject to the standard 30% TDS deduction at the time of withdrawal.

​

Note:  By downloading, installing, and logging into the Grid Master app, you acknowledge and agree to abide by the rules, guidelines, and terms outlined herein and any updates or modifications that may be made.


Failure to comply with these rules may result in corrective actions at the sole discretion of Grid Master, including but not limited to:

● Suspension or permanent blacklisting of your fantasy teams.
● Suspension or permanent blacklisting and blocking of your account.
● Any other measures deemed necessary to uphold the integrity and fairness of the platform.


Grid Master reserves the right to enforce these measures without prior notice. By continuing to use the app, you accept these terms as binding.
