Use Case 1: We run a league that only uses games for teams listed in the top of the polls for a week. At times I am able to start loading a week's schedule prior to the poll actually coming out, however the players can see the early list of games and start making picks thinking they have just picked all the games for the week not realizing it is a full schedule. After the poll is posted I will then come back and place the rest of the schedule into the system for that week. I now just wait until the poll comes out and enter all games at one time.

Use Case 2: Playoff time for College Hockey is not a straight win and move on to the next week scenario. Some levels of the brackets are best 2 of 3 series. Ahead of time I will know some of the games for the week and some I will have to wait until the last minute in order to load based on last night's winner.

Feature: Have a flag for the week that defaults to TRUE (week is displaying to users) that admin can set to FALSE in order to load games for the week, but not give the players visibility to the week.

another addition to this feature would be to allow admin to set a date and time for the week to be viewable by the users.

- If date and time are null then allow admin to set the flag.
- If date and time are entered then set the flag at that indicated date and time.

I'd rather not get too complicated here. What do you think would be the simplest? A show/hide flag in the weeks table? I'd have a lot changes to make to hide weeks. That code is everywhere: standinds/picks/scores...
And this change would hide a week everyplace except the admin weeks/games screens?

I agree the simplest is to just have a flag for each week as you stated.

@jvandervort - And this change would hide a week everyplace except the admin weeks/games screens?

Yes to the above question.
