What it is: If an entrant misses the pick deadline, the system automatically assigns them a golfer.
Configuration:
New setting in the create a contest flow. Can be toggled on or off. Off is the default.
Limit autopicks to 1-5 or allow unlimited (Same as NFL Survivor)
Two autopick strategies:
Highest-ranked by World Rank (default)
Highest-ranked by Dollar Earnings
Key Details:
Entrants choose their preferred autopick strategy and can change it anytime during the contest.
They are prompted to choose their setting upon contest entry (Same as NFL Survivor).
Regardless what the user selects for their autopick setting, they will receive the golfer with the highest World Rank in the Sony Open if they miss their pick
First tournament of the year, so no golfers have accrued any Dollar Earnings yet
Not supported:
Commissioners having the ability to customize how highly ranked a golfer that a user with a missed pick can be assigned when autopicks are enabled
On OFP, there was a setting that allowed commissioners to customize this so that whoever missed a pick could only receive a max of the 20th-ranked golfer in the world (they could customize that rank to whatever they want).
