Q: We have set up our Confidence Pool to include point spreads. How do we enter them or are they entered by MFS each week?
A:
MFS adds the point spreads each week. This is performed the weekend before Game 1 and each Tuesday night during the season. Occasionally, a major injury will occur that will prevent Las Vegas from setting a line initially for a game.  We'll post the line as soon as it comes out.

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 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 (with or without the Spread)?
A:
The Commissioner determines how to handle Ties as part of the Pool configuration (found on the League Settings).  The choices are to count the game as a Full Win, Half Win or a Loss.

Q: What is the proper way to set the rankings for my Confidence picks?
A:
You always want to pick the team you believe will win.  The numbers represent your confidence in that team winning.  The larger the number, the more confidence you have in that team over the lower-ranked teams.

Q: My Confidence Pool is not using the Point Spread but it shows up on my picks. Why?
A:
Point spreads are displayed even when your Pool does not use them as an aid to help you determine how to rank your picks.

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.

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 "Reports" link. When clicked, a list of reports is displayed. Click on the report named "Pick Status Report". This report shows which Pool members have submitted their picks for the week and how many Autopicks they have left for the season.

Q: How do the default picks work?
A:
Default picks are only used when making weekly picks is mandatory. If so, then your Default Picks option is triggered then to pick the required number of games. If the picks do not lock at the first game of the week, you can always make changes to games that have not started yet.

Q: When do the Drop Weeks begin being removed from the Season Standings?
A:
We like to get past the first few weeks of the season before removing teams' worst week(s) or the Season Standings would be empty. After the 5th week has been completed, your Season Standings will reflect the best records with the worst week(s) removed.
