How to Play

Here are the official rules for the Survivor Football Pool:

  • Each pick set chooses one professional football team each week.
  • Picks are made "straight up", not using a point spread system.
  • If their pick is correct, that pick set survives until the next week.
  • Once an professional football team has been chosen that pick set cannot pick that same professional football team for the remainder of the season.
  • One incorrect pick eliminates the pick set from the pool for the remainder of the season.
  • Tie games count as a loss for both teams involved.
  • All weekly picks are due before the start of the first professional football game of the week.
  • Any pick sets that do not submit a weekly pick before the deadline will be automatically eliminated from the pool the same as if an incorrect pick was chosen.
  • The last pick set standing will win the pot.
  • In the event of more than one pick set making it all the way through the season and picking correctly in week 17, the pot will be divided evenly between all pick sets that made it and a winning trophy will be awarded to all pick sets that made it through week 17.
  • In the event of all remaining pick sets being eliminated in the same week before the end of the season or week 17, those pick sets eliminated in said week (whatever number week it is) will split the pot evenly and a winning trophy will be awarded to all pick sets eliminated that same week.
