Can I Change My Picks After Submitting?
✅ Before the Deadline — Yes
You can update your picks anytime before the contest deadline. To edit your picks:
Go to the My Contests tab
Click into your contest under Upcoming or Active
Navigate to your entry and make your changes
Make sure to save your updated picks before the deadline
Always refresh the page after saving to confirm your picks are displayed correctly.
🚫 After the Deadline — No
Once the contest deadline has passed, picks are locked and cannot be changed — not even by Splash Sports support. This applies to all contest formats and ensures fairness for all participants. This is due to legal, regulatory, and fairness considerations, ensuring compliance with state laws and gaming regulations. Additionally, commissioners are also unable to edit or add picks for members after the deadline.
Pick deadlines are tied to the contest slate start time, not the start time of individual games. Your pick may be locked even if a specific game hasn't started yet. Once the first game of the slate begins, no changes can be made—even for games that haven’t started yet.
Contest-Specific Rules
QuickPick Contests: In QuickPick contests, entries are matched with other participants after submission. Once matched and after a 2-minute grace period, entries cannot be edited to maintain fairness.
Confidence Pick’em Contests: Early games (e.g., Thursday night) are excluded once they’ve started. If the entry deadline for the week has passed, no new picks can be made for that week.
Elimination from Contests: Participants eliminated from a contest due to missed picks or other reasons cannot make further selections.
How Do I Know When the Deadline Is?
The pick deadline is shown on the contest details page. We recommend making your picks well ahead of time to account for any technical delays. Pick deadlines and other contest settings cannot be changed once a contest or slate is in progress.
Missed the deadline? See our article on What Happens With a Missed Pick for more info. In paid contests, entry fees may be refunded to your Splash wallet if picks are locked before submission.
