I had my survivor pool configures with the last buyback week set to 8. However, two players in my pool who had week 9 losses were able to make week 10 picks.

I looked at the "manage buyback" and "submit player picks" manager options but don't see a way to cancel the picks. Looks like I might be able to manually set the player status to "out of lives", but am not sure if this would clean up the standings.

Note: I was manually managing buyback cost each week (based on total pool vs number of players), but set it to zero after week 8.  I would expect that this would not be a factor after the last buyback week had passed.

Can you take a look please?

I was able to resolve this.  I realized, after reading the pool settings tooltips, that setting buyback cost to zero effectively reconfigured the pool to be multi-life without buyback, which in turn caused the last-buyback-week to be ignored.

I reset the buyback cost to non-zero and manually reset the player statuses to out-of-lives.  This appears to have also cleared out their picks, so all is good now.
