Have you ever thought about adding the option of adding on Survivor to a standard pick um league.  Example you do all your normal weekly picks and then also pick your survivor pick. Survivor winner  could then be awarded pre determined prize

That's a good idea Brian, I just added it to our feature todo list.

I think this would be cool, so I will bump it to the top.  Thanks for running such a great site!

Thanks Brian.  Still like that idea, just not sure if I can fit it in. But I will think about it.

BTW, did you see the new "jackpot" feature? You can take a small % of each player's fees that go toward a jackpot that triggers if a player wins X number of games in a week. If no one wins it grows to the next week. If someone wins it resets back to 0 and starts to grow again.  I figure 14 wins would probably be a good number, I think it happened two or three times in your league last year.

I did see very cool. I was slightly confused on how it would work if you leave season instead of weekly

The guy who proprosed it runs a weekly league, so it probably does need a little thought as to how it works as a season league. I'm thinking I should have another entry field such as:

   Weekly player amount to use for jackpot prize: $[  ] 

That way a manager for a season league can decide how much each week he wants to use per player for the jackpot.  

If you have any suggestions let me know. Its a work in progress. :)
