What is Shotgun Fantasy?
Shotgun Fantasy is a daily fantasy sports app built around bracket competition. You draft a roster in a live draft room, face one opponent head-to-head each round, and advance through the bracket by winning your matchups.
What is bracket daily fantasy sports?
Instead of entering your lineup against thousands of others at once, bracket DFS is a knockout tournament: one roster against one opponent per round. Win and advance, lose and the run ends. It rewards drafting and head-to-head strategy rather than mass entry volume.
How do drafts work?
Every contest starts with a real-time draft room. You pick on a running clock against the same people you will face in the bracket, so everyone builds their roster from the same player pool under the same pressure.
How are payouts structured?
Payout structures are built to reward the top 40% of contestants in a bracket, not just the top 1%, so a deep run pays even if you do not win the final.
Can I play with just my friends?
Yes. Private contests let you set the format, bracket size, and stakes, then invite your crew with a link. Every contest also includes a live chat room.
