“Double picks after week N” means weeks 1–N take one pick; week N+1 onward take two, each loss its own strike.
Pick deadline — “Sunday 1:00 PM ET” is one hard weekly cutoff: everything locks at 1PM, and Thursday/Saturday games lock earlier at their own kickoff. “Each game's kickoff” keeps the week open until the last game starts — a player can pick or change right up until their team plays, so a Monday-nighter is still fair game Monday afternoon. Either way a pick stays hidden from everyone else until it locks.
Signups: —
Closing signups stops new people from joining — nobody can create an entry once the season is under way. It does not touch picks: everyone already in keeps playing as normal, and they can still Resume on a new phone with their PIN. Reopen any time.
Season phase: —
Preseason is automatic — while the NFL is in preseason the pool runs as a live dry run (real games, picks & chat, but losses don't count), and it resets itself automatically the moment the real season kicks off. This button is just a manual override if you ever want to wipe picks + chat early (entries & buy-ins are always kept).

Tap a buy-in to toggle paid / unpaid. ± applies the strike number next to it (negative to forgive, positive to penalize; stacks on top of computed strikes). 🔑 issues a new PIN — PINs are encrypted and can't be looked up, so this is the only way to help a player who forgot theirs; their old PIN stops working right away.
