As commissioner of an NHL Player Survivor contest, you have access to a set of tools to manage entries, monitor picks, and keep your contest running smoothly.
Entrants Manager
Your primary hub for managing participants. Access it via Commissioner tab → Active → Manage → Entrants Manager.
From here you can:
View all entries — see who has entered and their current status (alive, eliminated)
Check pick status — see which entries have and haven't submitted picks for the current slate
Make a pick on behalf of a member — only available before the pick deadline and only if the member hasn't yet submitted a pick
Email entrants — send reminders or announcements to all or selected participants
Remove (boot) an entry — permanent and cannot be undone after the contest has started
Pause an entry — prevents the entry from making picks; if the pick deadline passes while paused, that entry is eliminated
Revivals
If your contest has Entry Lives enabled, the Revivals tab in the Entrants Manager shows which eliminated entries are eligible to be revived. Revivals are available after a slate concludes and must be completed before the next slate's pick deadline.
For Splash-managed contests, manual revivals are not available after the contest has started — Entry Lives are the only revival mechanism and must be configured before the contest begins.
Checking Picks Before the Deadline
Before the pick deadline passes, commissioners can see which entries have submitted picks but cannot see the actual player selected — this protects pick integrity. After the deadline, all picks become visible to everyone.
Invites Manager
Access via Commissioner tab → Active → Manage → Invites Manager. From here you can:
Copy and share your contest invite link
Send reminders to members who haven't joined yet
Track who has been invited and who has accepted
Reset the invite link if needed
⚠️ Once the entry deadline passes, no new entries can be added — the invite link will no longer work for new registrations.
Editing Contest Settings Mid-Contest
Some settings can still be adjusted after the contest starts:
Pick deadline — can be edited for the following slate (not the current one)
Chat on/off
Contest description — update your custom rules or notes
Settings that are locked once the contest starts include scoring rules, entry lives, player reuse limits, payout structure, and the contest format itself.
