Auto-picks automatically submit a pick for an entry if no pick is made before the weekly deadline. This prevents unintended eliminations for missed weeks.
How Auto-Picks Work
If a participant doesn't submit a pick before the deadline and auto-picks are enabled, the system automatically selects a team based on the participant's configured strategy (or the contest default if none is selected).
If auto-picks are turned off and a member misses the deadline, they are eliminated (or lose a life, in contests with multiple lives).
On the standings page, any pick submitted via auto-pick will display an "A" next to the pick.
For Commissioners: Enable & Configure Auto-Picks

💡 Once an entry reaches the max auto-pick limit, auto-picks stop for that entry — any further missed deadlines will result in elimination.
⚠️ Once the contest starts, the auto-picks on/off toggle is locked. But entrants can still update their auto-pick strategy before each weekly deadline.

Tap the three dots (…) in the top-right corner
