Changes to pick deadlines and how they impact pools
Due to the increasing number of early Sunday international games and upcoming Friday/Saturday games, we’ve made a few changes to the way pick deadlines are handled within NFL Pick’em, Survivor, and Maxout pools. We believe these changes will provide greater flexibility to players by allowing more time to submit weekly picks before the final deadline. Please take a moment to read the updates below to see how they impact your pool(s):
NFL Pick’em Pools:
| Old Deadline | New Deadline |
|---|---|
| Start of Week: Weekly picks are due by the first game of each week | No changes: If your pool is configured to this setting you will not experience any changes |
| Start of Day: Daily picks are due by the first game of each day | No changes: If your pool is configured to this setting you will not experience any changes |
| Start of Game: Individual picks are due by the start of each game | No changes: If your pool is configured to this setting you will not experience any changes |
| Staggered: Thursday picks are due first, then all other picks by the start of the next game (usually Sunday) | Sunday at 1pm ET: Weekly picks are due by Sunday at 1pm ET. Games occurring before Sunday at 1pm ET must be picked by kickoff of each game |
NFL Survivor & Maxout Pools:
| Old Deadline | New Deadline |
|---|---|
| Start of Week: Weekly picks are due by the first game of each week | No changes: If your pool is configured to this setting you will not experience any changes |
| Start of Sunday: Weekly picks are due by the first game of each Sunday | Sunday at 1pm ET: Weekly picks are due by Sunday at 1pm ET. If selecting a team from a game that occurs before Sunday at 1pm ET picks are due by kickoff of that game |
