To use the tools on a slate, you need the monthly plan (its first 7 days are free) or a slate pass. Plans, billing, and cancelling tells how they work.

The Lobby

The Lobby is the home page of the app. It lists the slates of each day by lock time. Each slate shows its next step.

• The site switch beside Today picks the site: DraftKings or FanDuel. Each side shows its number of open slates.
• Import entries takes the entries file of DraftKings or FanDuel. DFS Studio puts each entry on its slate.
• Results shows the real results of your DraftKings and FanDuel entries after the contests end, in every sport.
• Import your entries file before the slate locks. If you did not, a locked slate still takes it for its results, until 3 days after its last game starts.

Open a slate

Click a slate in the Lobby. The slate page opens on its players, with the salary, the projection, the ownership, and the value of each.

• Import entries takes your entries file of the slate.
• Settings sets the build. Set the lineup count in the box before Build lineups, then click Build lineups.
• Lineups shows the lineups after a build. Contest sim ranks them in a contest.
• On a phone, the tabs at the bottom switch between Entries, Players, Lineups, and Sim.

Build lineups, Import and fill DraftKings entries, and Import and fill FanDuel entries have the steps.
