As I look at the standings in my league today (Saturdary), I see 3 players at the top of the eliminated bracket (Carna, Calla, Chad) that should still be in the 2nd place bracket.

Hi Chris,

The standings are correct, those three players chose the Raiders.  :)

You can also consider this setting in your control panel:

OK that makes sense, I didn't see the "pick in" flag next to their name so I assumed that they hadn't picked yet.  That would be helpful.

My pick deadline is Sunday noon, so the standings update after a TH/FR/SAT game gives players that pick a Sunday game a minor advantage if they find out that their opponent already has lost or won an ealier game and then decide to change their pick on Saturday night.  If player picks aren't displayed until after the deadline could we also freeze the standings updates until after the pick deadline to level the playing field?

I'm not inclined to do that change because the risk/reward isn't there, IMO. The "risk" aspect is partly the added logic, and partly more complexity for the manager which means more help desk tickets for such a minor feature. I also think the advantage is so small to be almost null, since any surviving player would ahve the opportunity to change their pick.
