We’re happy to explain how Double Pick Days work — this optional setting can add an exciting twist to your contest.
🏀 What Is a Double Pick Day?
On Double Pick Days, entrants must select two teams instead of one within the slate
To advance, both teams must win — if either loses, the entrant is eliminated
This adds a layer of strategy and difficulty, especially later in the tournament- Participants have flexibility in distributing their picks, such as selecting two teams on the same day (e.g., Day 7 or Day 8) or spreading one pick across two consecutive days.

Commissioner Permissions for Editing Double-Pick Weeks
All settings can be edited up until 24 hours before the first game of the contest starts except for Pick Objective and Combining Days 7&8. After the contest begins, settings cannot be changed.
For Double Picks, the first slate can only be added, not removed.
We hope this clears things up! If you have any more questions or would like help enabling this setting, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to assist.
