This setting is available until all Round of 32 games begin. The deadline can be pushed back until the initial deadline passes, or moved earlier if done at least 24 hours in advance.

Pick Deadline

Commissioners choose one of two options:

  • Each Game Start (Default) — Picks lock at the start of each individual game.

  • First Game of Each Round — All picks for a round lock when the first game of that round begins.

Important: If "First game of each round" is selected and the entry deadline is later than Sunday, June 28 @ 3:00 PM ET, the pick deadline for the first slate will match the contest entry deadline. This applies only to contests starting in the Round of 32.
