Step 1: Load Your Contest CSV

The first step is simple: download your contest entry file (CSV) from the site you’re playing on. Inside the Stokastic Sims, click Entry Manager (top right of your screen). From there, upload the CSV. The Entry Manager will instantly display your contests, entry counts, and give you full control over how to assign lineups.

Step 2: Assign Lineups to Contests

Once your lineups have been simulated, you’ll see them ranked and ready. From here, the Entry Manager makes assignment easy:

  • Favorite Lineups – Quickly tag the lineups you want to enter (e.g., your top 150 for the DraftKings Millionaire Maker).
  • Click to Add – With a single click on the “+” icon, assign those lineups directly to your contest.
  • Duplicate Control – Toggle “Enable duplicate lineups” on or off. With it enabled, you can push your top 20 lineups into multiple contests. With it disabled, you’ll get unique pools for each contest.

This feature alone saves hours of manual CSV editing and ensures your strategy translates into actual entries seamlessly.

Step 3: Download and Upload

After assigning lineups, simply click Download Entry File. The Entry Manager generates a new CSV pre-loaded with the exact lineups for each contest. Upload that back into DraftKings, FanDuel or whichever site you’re playing, and you’re done.

Why the Entry Manager Gives You an Edge

The Entry Manager is more than a convenience tool—it’s a competitive edge. Here’s why:

  • Efficiency – Manage 10 contests or 200 entries in minutes, not hours.
  • Accuracy – Never worry about mismatched lineups or upload errors.
  • Flexibility – Unique pools for each contest, or overlap when it makes sense.
  • Integration – Works hand-in-hand with Stokastic’s NFL DFS Sims for a fully streamlined workflow.

When you combine the NFL DFS Sims (which run thousands of slate simulations with ownership and payout data) with the DFS Entry Manager, you’re not just building lineups—you’re executing a professional-level process designed for long-term profitability.
