# Troubleshooting

## I Cannot Enter

Check:

* your wallet is connected
* you are on Base
* you have enough USDC for the entry
* you accepted the current terms and risk acknowledgement
* your location and wallet are eligible

If the app still blocks entry, the game may not be open or your account may not be eligible.

## I Cannot Make A Pick

Check:

* the pick window is open
* the pick lock has not passed
* the team or fixture is available for that round
* your Survivor entry is still alive, if playing Survivor
* you have not already used that team for that Survivor entry

For Bracket, the full bracket must be submitted before the first lock.

## I Cannot Vote

Check:

* the vote window is open
* the vote lock has not passed
* your entry has voting rights for that round

In Survivor, eliminated entries do not vote.

In Bracket, all entries vote.

## My Pick Looks Pending

The app may show provisional sports information before official grading is complete.

Picks are graded using official team advancement after the required finality process.

## A Match Was Delayed

Some delays can be handled with extensions.

If no official advancing team exists by the defined deadline, a match may become VOID for game purposes.

## A Prize-Pool Move Did Not Happen

If a selected move cannot be completed safely, the system may hold or return the pool in USDC as a safety override.

The app should show the current pool state.

## I Cannot Claim

Check:

* the game has ended
* payouts are finalized
* your entry is eligible for a claim
* the claim window is active

If the prize pool is not already in USDC, it may need to be returned to USDC before payouts are made.

## I See Something Suspicious

Do not sign unexpected wallet prompts.

Use only official Bald Sports links.

Never share your seed phrase or private key.
