Why You Don’t See the Combine Days 7 & 8 Option in Your Contest

If you’re creating an NCAAB contest and can’t find the Combine Days 7 & 8 option, don’t worry — nothing is wrong with your contest setup. This option is format-specific, and it only appears under certain conditions.

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:

  1. Start a new contest from the Create a Contest flow

  2. Select NCAAB

  3. Choose Pick-By-Day as the contest type

  4. Select your schedule

  5. 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.
