Good to know

Deadlines

Winner picks opened when the premiere aired and lock when episode 3 airs (Wed Oct 7, 8 PM ET). You can change them until then, and everyone's picks are visible as soon as they're saved. Pick points count from week 3. Weekly props lock when the episode airs. Late answers are not counted. Changed Oct 1: picks were reopened for one more week, and pick points start at week 3 so nobody gains from knowing who went home in episode 2.

Nothing changes during the season

The commissioner will not change any point value, category, cap or deadline between the premiere and the finale. If these rules turn out to be wrong, they change for next season.

Spoilers

Every member agrees not to read spoilers. Each member's called-it rate on outcome props is shown on the standings for everyone. If a member's outcome answers match a published spoiler list, including that list's errors, across four or more weeks, the commissioner may void that member's outcome-prop points for the season. That is the only in-season lever. There is no removal and no other adjustment.
