Flexi deadline could work, as in picks in before kickoff of game being chosen, to allow for all last minute injuries that could sway decision. It would require a bit of an honesty policy though.
Some logistics, who's tracking who's used what teams as I'm assuming you only get to use one team once?
SN doesn't time stamp comments fully, so how do we know who got their submissions in on time?
If you're doing this you could have submissions come in as late as the Monday night game.
Fixed groups the game week, submissions lock for the whole game week at kick off Thursday?
No one wants to see a "Hamlin" game again. But should that situation arise, what is the commissioners stance on cancelled or called off games?
I think an honesty policy should be ok... But also... Don't take the piss.
If those were the set options. I'd vote B. But I think a Friday deadline for any games not played on Thursday seems too early, especially for MNF games. I don't know how you'd police the "submission for the game close at kick off for that game" thing though.
I would be ok with a Saturday submission deadline as well but since I have to manage it all I don't want submissions rolling in 15 mins before games on Sunday start and I need to figure out if they were on time or not. If we were to set a Saturday deadline. I could log in Sunday morning and every submission that is there is good to go.
I think if there were a game cancelled for any reason. I would be ok allowing that person to carry forward to the next week and they need to pick 2 games that week provided carrying them forward doesn't win them the whole thing. If carrying them forward makes them the last person standing then they have to pick the next week to win or we have some sort of tiebreaker. I am going to post about a tiebreaker tomorrow to get everyone's ideas. It's possible the last 2 or 3 go out on the same week and how do we manage that. Split pot or have a tiebreaker the following week(s) until one is standing.

We do a last man standing football ⚽ our tiebreaker is if there was no clear winner ie last two or whatever went out same week. Everyone auto back in and we start over. But that's 38 game weeks as opposed to 18.
It's not out of the realms of possibility that we all go out week 1 🤣. I don't know if you want to do a buy back in or just a everyone back in and restart without rebuying in.
I feel a Saturday submission is reasonable considering it's being managed manually. It's meant to be enjoyable not work ya know.
