Why is this player not allowed to submit a pick for week 4?

Look at what it says on that page. :)  He can't make a pick because he already won the 1st place bracket. The rest of you have to fight it out for 2nd place. Its how 2 bracket leagues work. 

Now if you want you can enable buybacks so that those who lost this week can buy back in to the 1st place bracket.  But you should make sure Loukus agrees, which he might because he'll still have the advantage and the pot will be bigger.

Can´t we allow players who lost previously (before week 3) to buyback?

You can't allow a buyback from previous weeks, it has to be done right after the week of the loss, that is their only opportunity to buy back in to 1st place. 

BTW, sorry about the name on the prior post, I was in impersonation mode  for Louskus to check the problem you mentioned and I forgot to switch back to myself.

Is there an option available, where people have 3 lives available and the winner is not decided until week 16? We thought that we had 3 lives in this version, but instead the winner is already decided and the rest are playing for second place.

There is such an option, which is to go in to league settings and deselect the 2nd place bracket option.  You can still have a 2nd and 3rd place payout. I just confirmed on our test site that this will work for you.
