Abstract
In this article, I discuss a project in which I analyzed fantasy-like sports data to determine whether these contests were games of skill or games of chance. Based on an argument using p-values, I concluded that these contests were skill-based. The method I employed can also be used to show that other games of this type are skill-based rather than games of pure chance.
