Splash: NCAAB Why Can’t I Change Entry Lives?

If you're unable to adjust the number of entry lives in your contest, it's because the Buyback (Revival) option has been enabled.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Once Buyback is turned on, entry lives can no longer be modified.

Why is this restricted?

Entry lives and Buyback settings impact elimination rules and contest structure. To maintain competitive integrity and prevent scoring conflicts:

  • Entry lives are locked once Buyback is enabled

  • The setting cannot be edited afterward

  • There is no override available

What are my options?

If you need a different entry life setup:

  • You would need to disable Buyback (if the contest has not started), or

  • Create a new contest with your preferred settings before enabling Buyback

If you're unsure what setup works best for your contest, Support can help you review your configuration.
