If games or contests appear to be missing from the Splash app, there are a few common causes — most of which can be resolved quickly.
App or Display Issues
If a contest you're entered in isn't showing up:
Make sure you're logged in with the correct account
Check your network connection — a weak or unstable connection can cause the app to not load properly
Update the Splash app to the latest version
Try closing and reopening the app
If issues persist, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app
Why Certain Games Are Missing from Pick Sheets
If early-week games (like Thursday or Friday matchups) aren't showing in your pick sheet, here's why:
1. Sunday Entry Deadline Setting
Contests with a Sunday entry deadline exclude early-week games by default. This ensures fairness — participants who join later (e.g., Saturday or Sunday) would miss the chance to pick games that already started. Excluding them levels the field.
2. "Exclude Early Games" Setting Is Enabled
If the commissioner enabled the "Exclude Early Games" option during contest creation, early games are automatically removed from the pick sheet.
To change this setting (commissioners only):
Go to Commissioner tab → Active
Click Manage on the contest
Go to Contest Settings
Find Exclude Early Games and toggle it off
Save changes — this must be done before any participants join or within the edit window
⚠️ Settings lock 48 hours before the first game. If the contest already has entries or the lock window has passed, the setting cannot be changed without cancelling and recreating the contest.
FBS vs. FCS Games
In college football contests, matchups between FBS and FCS teams are excluded to maintain consistent contest formats. Only games between FBS teams are available for selection.
