Weighted Scoring for Weeks

Per-week point multipliers.

Off; On — any whole-number multiplier per week, set individually for each week

Requires Format = Standard. Can be edited any time, including for weeks that already happened (triggers a re-grade and user emails).

Drop Worst Week

Excludes an entrant's worst week(s) from the season total.

Off

Off; On — Drop Worst Week, up through Drop Worst Ten Weeks

Editable any time. Only factors in once completed weeks exceed the number of dropped weeks.

Last Drop Week

The final week still eligible to be dropped.

Last week of the contest

Any week included in the contest

Editable any time.

Summary: These levers let a commissioner reward certain weeks more heavily (Weighted Scoring) and forgive an entrant's worst performance(s) over the season (Drop Worst Week). Both are Standard-format tools, and both can be adjusted mid-season — but changing week multipliers retroactively re-grades those weeks and emails affected players, so it's worth flagging to commissioners before they edit a week that's already been played.
