NFL: Understanding Double Pick Weeks in Survivor Contests 🎯

Thank you for contacting us here at Splash! We’re happy to help clarify how double pick weeks work in Survivor contests.


🧩 How Double Pick Weeks Work:

  • During a double pick week, entrants must select two teams instead of one

  • To advance, both teams must win their games

  • If one team wins and one team loses, the entrant is eliminated from the contest

Explicit vs. Flexible Double Pick Weeks

  • Explicit Double Pick Weeks: Specific weeks are designated for double picks.

  • Flexible Double Pick Weeks: Triggered based on the percentage of entries remaining. For example, if Week 10 is set as a flexible double-pick week at 25%, participants will make two picks only if 25% or fewer entries remain at that time. For predictability, explicit settings are recommended.

⚠️ Even one incorrect pick during a double pick week results in elimination. If both teams lose during a double pick week, it counts as one total loss for that game week. This ensures losses are recorded on a per–game-week basis.


Editing Double Pick Weeks

The ability to edit Double Pick Weeks depends on the contest state:

  1. No entries made: Fully editable.

  2. Entries made, before contest start: Editable up to 48 hours before the first game. You can add Double Pick Weeks but cannot edit the first week.

  3. After contest start: Not editable for already-started weeks. For self-managed contests, weeks that haven’t occurred yet remain editable. To edit Double Pick Weeks, navigate to Commissioner Tab > Active > Manage > Settings > Double Pick Weeks.

Platform Limitations

  • De-select Option: The option to de-select a pick is only available on the website when accessed via a computer. It is not supported on mobile devices.
