pridefc (Current leader) lost 13W streak even before current pick is played

Question

Just noticed pridefc last made a pick Nov.26, 2015

Current Pick is Dec.6, 2015 (10 days later)

https://contests.covers.com/Survivor/Rules

"You must make a selection on a game played within 7 days of your previous selection or your score will be reset to zero."

It's not the first time I've seen a leader lose a streak like that.

It's too bad to get a good streak like that and lose it that way.

Although, since the update I notice the deadline dates showing 8 days after the last pick (I made my last pick Dec 2, 2015 and my deadline shows as Dec 10, 2015) when the old format showed 7 days after that last pick.

Not entirely sure, but I&#x27;m almost positive he made his pick before the 7 day window for picks to be made (except this pick was made for that future NFL pick putting it past 7 days).  Maybe this would be a good opportunity for Covers to elaborate on that specific rule...is it MAKE your pick in 7 days or less (thus, making a pick on the 7th day for a pick that won&#x27;t go off for another few days in the future) or does your PICK have to be played within the 7 day window?I only ask this b/c I&#x27;ve noticed one other player make a pick like that in the past but never followed up on whether it was a winner or not.

or i shoulda just read the rules you specified.......but yeah i can see how players would be confused though seeing as the site does not warn you if you make a pick past 7 day window.

Hi Guys,Streak Survivor deadline rules have now been updated.You simply must make a selection within 7 days of your previous selection being determined a win, loss, tie or was cancelled. The deadline for your next pick will begin as soon as your current selection is graded or cancelled. Your streak will not end or change while your current selection is pending.Regards,CT

Can Covers then explain how my current 3-game win streak was downgraded to 1? (November 22, November 29 and December 6)      Thanks.Duckman

Can you also further explain the selection process?  Must the game picked be played within that 7 day window or if a game is up for selection say on the last minute deadline, will the streak still stand if you make a pick that is on a later date (i.e., you made your selection within the 7 day window but the game is not being played until after said deadline).

As stated by Covers-Team now you only have to make a PICK within the deadline. The game DOES NOT have to be played within the 7 days, just make your next pick BEFORE the deadline countdown clock ends from any of the games on the board at the time.I like this update Covers-Team

Any other questions about the new deadline rules just ask them in the post "New Streak Survivor Deadline Rules" Covers-Team made that appears at the top of the forum.

The deadline for your next pick will begin as soon as your current selection is graded or cancelled. Your streak will not end or change while your current selection is pending.&#x201D;  Reading that it would be clearer if you&#x2019;re talking about the sporting event (game) being cancelled.  Or are you saying that a contestant is allowable to cancel a selection (pick) that they made within the 7 days?    Thanks for keeping this Covers Streak Survivor contest running smoothly,  --Price--
