Setting | What It Does | Default | Notes |
Contest Revivals | If ALL remaining entries are eliminated in the same week, everyone is auto-revived (keeping pick history, no extra lives) and the contest continues. | Off | When off, a wipe-out week resolves via the tiebreaker settings. Manual revivals and buybacks are not contest settings — the commissioner handles them any time from the Entrant Manager after creation. If a user asks "can the commish bring me back?" — yes, via Entrant Manager. |
Summary: Contest Revivals only kicks in for the rare case where an entire remaining field gets eliminated in the same week. A commissioner always has the manual option to revive individual entrants through the Entrant Manager, whether or not this setting is on.
