How to Remove or Manage Entrants in a Self-Managed Contest

How commissioners can pause or remove entrants in a self-managed contest on Splash Sports — what each action does and what's available for real-money contests.

Updated over a week ago

As a commissioner of a self-managed contest, you can pause or remove entrants from your contest. These tools are not available for real-money contests where Splash handles entry fees — in those contests, only the participant can withdraw their own entry.


How to Access Member Management

  1. Go to the Commissioner tab

  2. Open your contest → Commissioner ConsoleMember Management

  3. Click Edit next to the member you want to manage

⚠️ These actions are only available on the website — they are not supported in the Splash mobile app.


What You Can Do

  • Add notes — record notes about an entrant visible only to you

  • Pause an entry — a paused entry cannot make picks or new entries until reinstated. If a paused entry remains past the pick deadline, it will be eliminated automatically

  • Remove / Boot — permanently removes the entry and prevents that entrant from re-entering. This cannot be undone


What About Real-Money Contests?

If your entrants paid an entry fee through Splash, you cannot remove them as a commissioner. Only the participant can withdraw their own entry. If there's an issue with a specific entrant in a real-money contest, contact support@splashsports.com and our team will review the situation.


Entry Visibility

Once the contest starts, all entry names and their picks are visible to all participants — including any renamed entries.
