Q: What is the Cutoff day/time for getting my Survivor Pool pick in each week?
A: Survivor Pools lock when we receive notice that the first game of the week has started. There is no configuration option to change this.

Q: I would like the members of my Pool to be able to register multiple teams. How can I do this?
A: The Commissioner has the option when configuring the League Settings to allow multiple entries per pool per team by selecting the checkbox called " Allow the same MFS User to register multiple teams". This will allow the pool member to join the pool  multiple times using the Join Existing Pool button with the Pool ID and Password. They will simply need to register each time with a unique name to your Pool.

Q: How can I delete a Pool I started?
A: You will need to email your League Name and League ID to MFS at info@maximumfantasysports.com and we'll delete the Pool and all related information.

Q: What happens if the NFL game ends in a Tie?
A: For Survivor Pools, Ties are considered losses. To Survive and continue, you must pick a team that wins outright (or loses if you are picking Losers).

Q: How does the Rebirth cut-off week work?
A: If your league is set up to allow Rebirths, the cut-off week is the last completed week of the NFL that teams can be allowed to be rebirthed back into the pool to continue to compete. So, if your Pool allows one Rebirth and the cutoff week is Week 4, then your team can lose a game in any week between week 1 and week 3 and the Commissioner will be able to Rebirth your team back into the Pool before the pool picks close for Week 4 (this usually involves paying a fee. Check your league settings or ask your Commissioner). If your first loss occurs during or after Week 4, then you are out of the Pool. Sorry!

Q: Our league is set up so you can only use a team once. If I use a team as my Survivor pick and it loses, can I use them again in a later week (if I get Rebirthed, that is)?
A: Win or lose, it doesn't matter. You can only use a team the maximum number of times allowed by your Pool, even if your earlier usage of the team resulted in a loss.

Q: I have some players who want to play in our Pool but do not have computer access. How do I register their picks?
A: All Pool members must have a MFS Userid. So, you will need to create some dummy IDs by going through the normal MFS Registration process. As Commissioner, you will be able to make picks for them by logging in as them or by using the Edit Previous Picks function on your League Home Page.

Q: My Survivor Pool is not using the Point Spread but it shows up on my picks. Why?
A: Point spreads are displayed as an aid to help you make your Survivor Pick. It is provided to show you how much of a favorite one team is over the other. Survivor Pools do not use the point spread for anything other than information.

Q: I would like to see if the members of my Pool have submitted their picks. How can I do this if I cannot see their Team Home Page?
A: On the League Home Page for your Pool, there is a "Pick Status Report" link. When clicked, this report shows which Pool members have submitted their picks for the week and how many Autopicks they have left for the season.

Q: I have some teams who lost on Sunday and would like to get a Rebirth for the Monday Night Football game. However, your site won't allow me to Rebirth for the current week. What can I do?
A: Our Survivor Pools only allow for one pick per team per week.  However, if you want to accomplish multiple picks, you could simply change the picks for the teams you want to allow to circumvent these rules by using the Edit Previous Picks function on your League Home Page to change their current pick for the MNF game.  The reporting and Finances won’t be accurate as we’ll only count tonight’s game, but it should work for you and you can handle the Finances separately (and update them manually using the Finances link also found on the League Home Page).

Q: We had 3 teams left last week and 2 lost so we have a winner. I want to play out a second place finish but the remaining teams have no rebirths left. How can I do this?
A: Our Survivor Pools award first place when there is one team left standing. You could manually track the remaining places. Teams that are out can still make picks for the rest of the regular season. However, if the winner doesn't mind, you could change the number of Rebirths and rebirth the two losing teams and let them continue to compete. Unfortunately, the winner will no longer be marked as Champion since the pool will continue its competition.

Q: We have teams still alive in our pool and we are extending into the playoffs to determine a winner. Does the list of teams already picked get reset for the playoffs?
A: Yes. we track the number of times a team is picked in the regular season separately from the playoffs. Also, your pool is configured with separate Maximums for the number of teams can be picked in the regular season versus the playoffs.
