If you see the message:
“You’re early — This pick sheet is not yet available. Check again later.”
Don’t worry — nothing is wrong with your entry.
This simply means the pick sheet for that slate (day or round) has not opened yet.
Why Am I Seeing This?
In Splash-managed NCAAB contests, pick sheets only become available when:
The slate (day or round) is officially active
The tournament schedule for that slate is finalized
The commissioner’s configured timing allows picks to open
If you attempt to view or edit picks before that slate opens, you will see the “You’re early” message.
When Will Picks Be Available?
Pick sheets typically open:
After the previous slate locks (for Survivor contests)
When matchups are finalized
Within the contest’s scheduled timeline
For multi-day contests, you may see tabs across the top such as:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 7 + 8
Round of 32
Round of 16
If you click into a future slate before it opens, the system will display the early message.
What Should I Do?
There is no action required.
Simply:
Check back closer to the slate start time
Ensure you’ve completed picks for the current active slate
Confirm your entry is active and not eliminated (for Survivor)
Important Notes for Survivor Contests
If you are in a Survivor contest:
Future rounds will not open until you successfully advance
If you have been eliminated and do not have remaining lives or buybacks, future pick sheets will not be accessible
