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.

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).

Participants who miss the entry deadline cannot join the contest or make picks in future weeks.

On the standings page, any pick submitted via auto-pick will display an "A" next to the pick.

💡 Once an entry reaches the max auto-pick limit, auto-picks stop for that entry — any further missed deadlines will result in elimination.

Commissioners can revive participants in self-managed contests after a missed pick by using the 'Revivals' option in the Entrants Manager.

⚠️ 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.

Your strategy applies to all entries you have in that contest and can be changed at any time before the weekly deadline.

Yes, you can change your pick before the deadline by unselecting your current pick and choosing a new one. Changes are not allowed after the deadline.

If an auto-picked team wins, the participant is awarded a win, and the corresponding point is added to their score.

If all remaining participants fail to survive the same slate, the result is a tie for that week.

Auto-picks are assigned from the remaining eligible games at the time the pick is due, ensuring fairness.
