Score type
Choose how team picks are scored for this contest. There are three options:
Straight up — Entrants pick teams they think will win outright.
Against the spread (Splash-set) — Entrants pick teams they think will cover the point spread, using spreads set automatically by Splash.
Against the spread (Commissioner-set) — Entrants pick teams they think will cover the point spread, using spreads the commissioner sets manually.
Pick mode
Choose whether entrants pick winners or losers.
Pick direction:
Pick winner — Entrants pick the team they expect to win each game.
Pick loser — Entrants pick the team they expect to lose each game.
Picks per slate
Set how many picks each entry must make per slate. Use 1 for classic single-pick survivor.
Every slate in the contest (CFB Week 1 through NFL Week 18) gets its own required-picks field, defaulting to 1.
Allowed range: 1–20 picks per slate.
Additional settings
Bye Pick — Off by default. Give each member one optional bye per season. The member deliberately applies it to a specific slate to advance without submitting a pick.
Picks in advance — On by default. Allow members to submit picks for future slates. Useful for planning around travel/team limits.
