Fred,  

Is there only one "picks deadline"? 

So if I am including Thursday games, I set my picks deadline to 8:30pm EST.  That means all picks for the week have to be submitted by that time...correct?  

I was wondering if there is a way to have two picks deadlines, a Thursday night deadline and a Sunday at 1pm deadline as many participants in my league are balking at having to make all their picks for the week prior tto the Thursday night game.

Thanks,

Bill

There really isn't a need for two deadlines, since any game serves as its own deadline once it starts. What most pickem managers do is set their deadline to 11am MST Sunday. If the player forgets to pick the Thursday game too bad for them. :) But they will still be able to pick the rest of the games before the deadline. Note that a player can also pick the Thursday game before it starts and leave the others blank and come back later to enter them in. 

You could also consider enabling auto-pick, which will generate picks for a player who forgets to submit all the picks.
