Setting up your NFL + NCAAF Team Survivor contest: Missed Picks & Auto Pick tab

The Missed Picks & Auto Pick tab configures missed-pick behavior and auto-pick rules.

Auto Picks

Automatically fill in picks for players who miss the weekly deadline.

  • Enable auto-pick — On by default. Fill missed picks automatically instead of leaving them blank.


Who sets the auto-pick logic?

Determines whether you choose one auto-pick logic for everyone, or each player picks their own.

  • Commissioner sets for all — One auto-pick logic applies to every player in the contest.

  • Each player chooses — Players pick their own auto-pick preference when they join.

Players will be prompted to choose their auto-pick preference when they join the contest. They can update it from their entry settings at any time.

  • Default team pick logic — Defaults to "Home favorite": pick the home team when they are the spread favorite; fall back to the home team in pick'em games.


Maximum auto-pick events

Cap how many times a player can receive auto-picks over the full contest.

  • Unlimited — No cap on auto-picks.

  • Limited — Set a maximum count (e.g. 5).
