Season-Level Picksheet Settings
Setting | What It Does | Default | All Available Options | Notes |
Select Conferences (NFL) | Confirms NFL is included when Sport Mode includes the NFL. | NFL is selected | NFL is selected (read-only indicator — not a configurable choice) | Requires Sport Mode to include NFL. Every NFL game for the selected weeks is included unless Eligible Game Days narrows it. |
Select Over/Under Totals (NFL) | Turns on totals picks for NFL games. | Off | Off; On | Requires Sport Mode to include NFL. |
Select Conferences (College) | Which CFB conferences are eligible for the picksheet. | None (requires AP Top 25 = On) | All Conferences; Big Ten; Big 12; ACC; Mountain West; SEC; American Athletic; Conference USA; Mid-American; Sun Belt; Independents | Requires Sport Mode to include College. Editable any time; doesn't affect already-scored weeks. Removing a game that had picks wipes those picks and emails affected users. |
Include AP Top 25 Games | Adds any game involving a Top 25 team, regardless of conference. | On | Off; On | Requires Sport Mode to include College. Rankings are submitted manually by Game Ops; Top-25 picksheets go live 10am ET every Monday of the CFB season. Editable any time; doesn't affect already-scored weeks. |
Select Over/Under Totals (CFB) | Turns on totals picks for CFB games, toggled per conference / Top 25. | Off | Off or On, set independently for each enabled conference / Top 25 | Requires Sport Mode to include College. |
Eligible Game Days | Which days of the week can have games on the picksheet. | All days enabled | Multi-select any combination of Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun | Editable any time; doesn't affect already-scored weeks. Removing a game that had picks wipes those picks and emails affected users. |
Bowl Mode | Combines all bowl games into a single picksheet; auto-ends the contest after the National Championship. | Off | Off; On | Requires Sport Mode to include College. Splash-admin-enabled only — once a Splash admin enables it in admin, commissioners can enable it for their specific contest. Permanent once on — cannot be disabled. Can be enabled up until the start of the National Championship game. Resets game weights and Must Picks; in Confidence, re-ranks to match the bowl slate's game count. Over/Unders default off for the bowl slate but can be enabled. |
Summary: These settings shape the full-season picksheet — which league(s), which conferences, which days, and whether totals are available. Most changes here are safe mid-season if no picks exist yet on the affected games; removing games that already have picks wipes those picks and triggers emails. Bowl Mode is the one true one-way door — once switched on, it can't be turned back off.
Weekly Override Settings
These settings default to whatever was set at the season level, but can be overridden on a per-week basis.
Setting | What It Does | Default | All Available Options | Notes |
Game Check/Uncheck (weekly) | Per-game enable/disable override for a specific week. | Inherited from season setup | Each game togglable independently, On or Off | Editable any time. Removing a game mid-contest deletes existing picks on it and emails affected users. If Over/Unders are on, disabling a game's winner pick also disables its Over/Under pick. |
FBS Conference Filter (weekly) | Per-week override of which conferences appear. | Inherited from season setup | Conference multi-select, same list as Select Conferences (College) | Requires Sport Mode to include College. Editable any time; removals wipe existing picks and email affected users. |
Over/Under Tab Toggle — NFL (weekly) | Per-week override of NFL totals availability. | Inherited from season setup | Off; On | Requires Sport Mode to include NFL. Editable any time. |
Over/Under Tab Toggle — FBS (weekly) | Per-week override of FBS totals availability. | Inherited from season setup | Off; On | Requires Sport Mode to include College. Editable any time. |
Game Weights ("Point Value") | Per-game point values. | 1 point per game | Any whole number from 1 to 20, set per game | Can be set independently for winner picks vs. totals. Editable any time for games that haven't started. Editing Weighted Scoring resets all game weights for that week. |
Must Pick (weekly) | Forces every entrant to include a specific game in their picks. | None selected | Each game togglable independently, On or Off | Only available when Picks per Week isn't "Pick All." Editable any time during the week; past weeks can't be changed. |
Summary: Weekly overrides let a commissioner fine-tune any single week without changing the season-wide defaults — disabling a specific game, adjusting which conferences show up, turning totals on/off, reweighting point values, or forcing a "must-pick" game. The recurring theme across this whole section: any change that removes a game a player has already picked wipes that pick and emails them — worth flagging to commissioners before they make late-week edits.
