The Mulligan Settings section allows commissioners to give participants a second chance after a loss. This feature can be used to create a double-elimination style contest or to keep more members engaged throughout the season.
What Is a Mulligan?
A mulligan allows a participant to:
Be revived after a loss
Continue playing in the contest instead of being eliminated
How Mulligans Work
Mulligans can be issued:
Manually by the commissioner at any time
Automatically by enabling automatic mulligans
Automatic Mulligans
When enabled, mulligans are issued to all members who lost in the previous week
Example:
Members who lose in Week 2 will receive a mulligan at the start of Week 3
Important Rules
Mulligans apply to all eligible members when automatic mode is enabled
Members who do not submit a pick are NOT eligible for a mulligan
They will be permanently eliminated
(Alternatively, commissioners can manually enter a pick retroactively if appropriate)
Important Notes
Mulligans can significantly extend the length of your contest
Best used when you want to keep more participants active longer
Should be clearly communicated to all members before the contest begins
Key Reminder
Mulligans give players a second chance—but only if they actively participate. Missing a pick will still result in elimination.
