Combine Days 7 & 8 Is Not Available in Pick-By-Round Contests
The Combine Days 7 & 8 option is only available in Pick-By-Day contests.
If your contest is set to Pick-By-Round, the option will not appear in the contest creation flow.
❌ Pick-By-Round → Option not available
✅ Pick-By-Day → Option available (when applicable)
This is expected behavior and not a bug.
Why This Option Is Limited to Pick-By-Day
The Combine Days 7 & 8 feature is designed to work with daily pick logic, where entrants make picks based on individual tournament days.
Pick-By-Round contests use round-based picks, which span multiple days. Because of this structure, Days 7 and 8 are already grouped together within a single round, making the combine option unnecessary and incompatible with this format.
How to Access the Combine Days 7 & 8 Option
If you’d like to use this feature, you’ll need to create a contest using the Pick-By-Day format.
To do this:
Start a new contest from the Create a Contest flow
Select NCAAB
Choose Pick-By-Day as the contest type
Select your schedule
Enable Combine Days 7 & 8 (toggle appears below the schedule)
Already Created a Pick-By-Round Contest?
If your contest is already set to Pick-By-Round, the format cannot be changed after creation.
You’ll need to create a new Pick-By-Day contest if you want to use the Combine Days 7 & 8 option.
If you’re unsure which format is best for your group, we’re happy to help you choose the right setup before you create your contest.
