MARKET MAKERS

Jock MKT can provide the best experience for users when there is ample trading liquidity for in-game trading. In order to provide this liquidity, Jock MKT may enter market makers into events.

Market makers are designed to:

  • Provide liquidity by creating buy and sell orders at their internally designated fair value estimates, based on any number of factors, including, but not limited to: fantasy points scored, current projections, model simulations, and / or other market factors.
  • Trade in real money markets.
  • Only initiate new orders, and not fill any open orders. This is implemented as a consumer protection to prevent market makers from filling stale or forgotten user orders.

Market makers are ineligible to win prizes in paid entry contests.

In cash markets, market makers are designed to perform at negative to breakeven trading margins. They have no strategy other than to make sure there are fairly valued offers available on all eligible player stocks.
For additional questions please contact support@jockmkt.com.

BEGINNER EVENTS

Any contest designated as “Beginner Events” will be limited to users who have entered 50 or fewer events. For more information on how to play, please review the materials on this website or in the mobile application.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. YOU AGREE THAT IF WE CANNOT RESOLVE A DISPUTE, ALL DISPUTES ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL BE SETTLED IN BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

Any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, or any use of the Website or Services (each a “Claim”) shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then governing rules and procedures. In agreeing to arbitrate all Claims, the Parties waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving any Claim. The arbitration shall be held in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, and the arbitration decision may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such a proceeding, which shall be final and conclusive. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding shall be entitled to reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. This arbitration undertaking is made pursuant to and in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act at 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the arbitrator shall have authority to award legal and equitable relief available in the courts of the state of Massachusetts, provided that:

The arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive damages; and
Any and all claims shall be arbitrated on an individual basis only, and shall not be consolidated or joined with or in any arbitration or other proceeding involving a Claim of any other party. You agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate any Claim as a class action or in any other form other than on an individual basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, in no event shall Bid Ventures be precluded or delayed from seeking and obtaining temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond or proving of actual damages, against infringement or other violation of its claimed Intellectual Property rights in the Forum as provided below.

For any Claims that are not subject to arbitration: (a) the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings involving Claims shall be the courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within Suffolk County (the “Forum”), and the Parties hereby waive any argument that any such court does not have personal jurisdiction or that the Forum is not appropriate or convenient; (b) the Parties waive any and all rights to trial by jury with respect to any Claims.

In the event that either party initiates a proceeding involving any Claim other than an arbitration in accordance with this Section, or initiates a proceeding involving a Claim under this Section other than in the Forum, the other party shall recover all attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this Agreement to arbitrate and the Forum to which the Parties have herein agreed.
