General settings
Contest name — Name your contest so members can easily identify it (e.g. "Abbey Text Team Survivor").
Description — Optional. Add context for your members about the contest (up to 500 characters).
Set your schedule
Define the first and last week of your contest.
Start week — Choose the week your contest begins (e.g. CFB Week 1, Aug 31, 2026 – Sep 7, 2026).
End week — Choose the week your contest ends (e.g. NFL Week 18, Jan 4, 2027 – Jan 11, 2027).
Since this is a combined NFL + NCAAF contest, weeks span both leagues' schedules.
Entry controls
Manage how and when members can join, and how many entries they can submit.
Maximum entries per entrant — Set how many entries a single member can submit (1–250).
Entry deadline — Off by default, meaning entries close automatically at the standard deadline. Turn this on to set a custom date and time for entries to close.
Lock entries immediately — Off by default. Stops new members from joining right away, regardless of the entry deadline.
Hide Future Picks From Commissioner — On by default. Controls whether the commissioner can see and edit members' future picks.
