Every time I submitted, it says game has started, no more submission

That's what mine says for the NYR game.

Hmm... My submission just went through. Are you guys still having issues?

It’s working now

But happened twice to me. That’s why I missed the previous game

I tried and got teh same error... however I, like DFF and Boom tried before midnight. Based on the time of your reply you might have tried just after midnight.

My guess is you tried on the previous game day. Based on UC's posting time, he tried after midnight Calgary time, so it was no longer game day for the previous game. I also got the same error when I tried around 11:30pm

Okay, next time it happens, post your picks here and I will enter it manually. It'll also help me figure out what time the lock is happening.

I wrote it to be locked from the start of the scheduled start time for 3 hours, so outside of game time it should be open for submissions...
