Well I found the official rules and it said this
Deadline will be 10 minutes before first game tips on Saturday, dont miss out......
Now that being said, it doesnt really matter to me. I believe that I will qualify for this week as long as I win 1 out of my 2 games for today. losses this week and you have a spot. I have 4 losses so far with 2 games left. One reason to set a deadline for picks is that some people like to wait until the deadline so no one can copy their picks. So since you have 2 spots already, I would have to play by the rules if I were commisioner
