Separate winners for a third contest are determined by combining the performance in a specified daily fantasy league competition and a separate pre-specified performance in a real-time competition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising: providing a real-time competition; providing a non-real-time competition, wherein the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition are distinct but related to one or more events; and scoring a separate competition based on results of the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition, including combining scores from each of the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition to determine winners of the separate competition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more events comprise a set of events and a subset of the set of events. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the real-time competition occurs over a duration of a set period of time, and wherein the non-real-time competition occurs during the event in real-time. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein for a user to participate in the non-real-time competition, the user selects the non-real-time competition before the real-time competition begins. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein combining the scores from each of the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition includes averaging final standings from each of the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition to determine a separate combined winner of the separate competition. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising verifying the scores for the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition by comparing mobile device information. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6 wherein the mobile device information comprises a cellular phone number. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein real-time updates of combined results are sent only to devices of users entered into the separate competition. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more events include: a live sports competition, a card game, a dice game, a trivia game, an esport competition, or a television competition. ### Claim 10 A device comprising: a non-transitory memory for storing an application, the application for: providing a real-time competition; providing a non-real-time competition, wherein the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition are related to an event; and scoring the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition, including combining scores from each of the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition to generate a separate competition; and a processor for processing the application. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10 wherein the event includes a set of events and a subset of the set of events. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10 wherein the real-time competition occurs over a duration of a set period of time, and wherein the non-real-time competition occurs during the event in real-time. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10 wherein for a user to participate in the non-real-time competition, the user selects the non-real-time competition before the real-time competition begins. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10 wherein current standings in the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition are completed and displayed in real-time only to devices of participants in the separate competition. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10 further comprising verifying the scores for the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition by comparing mobile device information. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15 wherein the mobile device information comprises a cellular phone number. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10 wherein the event includes at least one of a live sports competition, a card game, a dice game, a trivia game, an esport competition, or a television competition. ### Claim 18 A network of devices comprising: a non-real-time server for managing a daily fantasy competition; a real-time server for managing a real-time competition; and a third server for managing a combined competition, wherein the combined competition includes the daily fantasy competition and the real-time competition. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The network of devices of claim 18 wherein the daily fantasy competition occurs over a duration of a set period of time, and wherein the real-time competition occurs during an event in real-time. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The network of devices of claim 18 wherein for a user to participate in the real-time competition, the user selects the non-real-time competition before the daily fantasy competition begins. ### Claim 21 (depends on 18) The network of devices of claim 18 wherein current standings in the real-time competition and the non-real-time competition are computed and displayed in real-time only to devices of participants in the separate competition. ### Claim 22 (depends on 18) The network of devices of claim 18 further comprising verifying the scores for the daily fantasy competition and the real-time competition by comparing Internet-connected device information of an Internet-connected device. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The network of devices of claim 22 wherein the Internet-connected device includes a mobile phone, a laptop, a personal computer, a smart television or a video game console. ### Claim 24 (depends on 22) The network of devices of claim 22 wherein the Internet-connected device information comprises a cellular phone number. ### Claim 25 (depends on 18) The network of devices of claim 18 wherein the real-time server sends statistical information received from another device to a user device. ### Claim 26 (depends on 18) The network of devices of claim 18 wherein the event includes at least one of: a live sports competition, a card game, a dice game, a trivia game, an esport competition, or a televised competition.
