Abstract
The systems and methods to generate and manage a separate contest based on two independent and unconnected systems utilize a cooperating fantasy league operator/provider and either a related or separate real-time contest provider. 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.
