In Splash survivor contests, the Round of 8 (also known as the "Elite 8") introduces unique pick-selection rules. This guide will clarify the rules for days 7 and 8 and highlight key considerations to help you navigate this important phase of the contest.
🏀 Why Double Picks Are Available
Days 7 and 8 correspond to the Elite Eight rounds, a crucial point in the contest where fewer games are available. To give players more strategic flexibility during this phase, we allow:
Days 7 and 8 are combined into a single "pick slate," meaning both picks for this round must be made prior to the start of the first game on Day 7.
Participants should note that both picks must be submitted by the tip-off of the first game on Day 7. Failing to do so will result in forfeiting the chance to make valid picks for the round.
Two teams from games played on Day 7
Two teams from games played on Day 8
One team from Day 7 and one from Day 8 Picks for days 7 and 8 must be submitted before the first game on Day 7. Missing this deadline will result in disqualification for this round.
Participants may also choose two teams that play on the same day from the combined Days 7 & 8 slate. This provides additional strategic flexibility without restricting to one game per day.
This setup is designed to enhance gameplay and has become the preferred format for many of our users. Submitting picks on time and strategizing carefully ensures players maintain viable team choices for future rounds, such as the Final Four.
Troubleshooting Game Selection Issues
While all game choices for Days 7 and 8 should be visible in the contest interface, participants might encounter occasional visibility problems. Double-check your display settings, ensure your game interface is updated, and refresh the page if issues persist.
Common FAQs
Does everyone have to make two picks for this round? Yes, all participants are required to submit exactly two picks for the Round of 8 to ensure consistency. Can I wait until Day 8 to make my selections? No, picks must be submitted before the start of the first game on Day 7. Why only two picks when there are multiple days? This prevents players from running out of team options for later high-stakes rounds, promoting strategic gameplay.
What can I do if I cannot see games for Day 8? Ensure you double-check the contest interface for any hidden options. Refreshing the page or revisiting the selection screen can help resolve these visibility issues.
