Thanks for contacting us at Splash! We’re happy to help you with editing your contest details. Here’s what you need to know:
✏️ What You Can Edit (Before the Contest Starts):
You can update the following by going to:
Commissioner Tab > Active > Select Manage on your specific Contest > Select Settings
Contest name
Contest description
Banner image
Specific settings (depending on if there are entries within your contest, start/pick deadline and etc)
Scoring rules
Push settings
Maximum entries
Early games inclusion
🔒 What You Cannot Edit:
Commissioners currently cannot change the following once the contest is created:
Sport or format
Prize payout structure
Locked settings (including advanced settings) that depend on timing and participant status; for example, settings like start deadlines or scoring formats become locked once entries are made. Certain settings like point values in specific formats (e.g., One and Done contests) are permanently non-editable under any circumstances. In self-managed contests, Commissioners have added flexibility to adjust settings, reinstate participants, and configure options like Select Conferences repeatedly.
🔄 Want to Start Over?
If no one has entered your contest yet:
Go to your contest
Tap the three dots next to "Invite"
Select "Cancel Contest"
If adjustments are required after entries, follow the "Restart Contest" steps listed in the Handling Locked Settings section.
If entries have already been submitted:
Ask entrants to withdraw their entries:
Entrants should go to My Contest > Active, select the contest, and use the three dots (...) to select Withdraw.
Their entry fees will be automatically refunded to their Splash account.
Once all entries are withdrawn, cancel the contest using the steps above or restart following "Restart Contest" instructions listed elsewhere.
