Pool Rules

Survivor Pool

The pool runs over the entire regular season. Each week, you must pick one team among those playing that you think will win its game. You can use each team only once.

The goal of the survivor pool is to outlast your fellow players. If your team wins, you survive and continue on to the next week. If your team loses, it counts as a miss. Miss two games and you are eliminated.

Note that if you do not make a pick for a given week, it counts as a loss. If the game ends in a tie, it is considered a loss. In the event all active players are eliminated in a single week, those players will be reinstated and continue to the next week.

When only one player remains, he or she wins the prize.

In the event of a tie, the following tie breaker will be used:

The win/loss record of the survivor picks from each player will be added together, and the player who has the lower combined winning percentage will win the tiebreaker. As you can see, this tiebreaker rewards the player that takes a greater risk by choosing weaker teams during the year.

Making and Changing Survivor Picks

You may make or change your pick for the survivor pool up until all games for that particular week are locked. If you pick a team playing an early game, you cannot change that pick once that game is locked. Likewise, you cannot pick a team whose game has been locked.

You can make your picks in advance for upcoming weeks. Note, however, that when you make a pick, that team is no longer available for use in other weeks. So if you later decide you want to use that team in a different week, you'll first need to change or delete the existing entry for it.

By participating you agree to abide by the above rules and accept any decisions made by the Administrator.
