make survivor player play each week

[likethepool]

I would like the survivor player to play each week and if they don't, mark that week as a loss. Is there a setting somewhere that I can set ?

That is all done in the "common.asp" file located in the "includes" directory. Just open that up and find this section:

Code: Select all

'--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	' Side pool settings.
	'
	' Note: You can choose to play this as a survivor pool, a margin pool or
	' a combination of both. In a combined pool, users pick a single team each
	' week and that pick applies to both pools.
	'--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Underneath that area all the settings you need for the Survivor pool. Post back if you have a specific question after setting that up.

I looked at the settings and there isn't anything that indicates a player must play every week. From what I see in the pool you can set how many wrong before they are eliminated but that it based on when they submit a pick. The player can submit in week 1 and not pick again until say week 6 or 7. I want the player to have to submit each week or have a missed week count as a loss.

I am not certain, but I thought that no pick was treated as a loss, I have never tried it so I can't say for certain, sorry.

Maybe someone else will know.

We ran into this also. We set a rule that if you missed your pick by Monday night game time, You got visitor in that game. If you previously picked that team, its now a loss. That was our solution. I would like to see some sort of fix, but this works for us.
