Survivor Challenge Rules
HOW IT'S PLAYED
What You Do: Choose one team every week who you think will win their game straight up (No point spreads)

You must choose a different team each week. (EX: If you choose Dallas in Week 1, you cannot use Dallas again the rest of the pool.)

Your team must win the game, ties are considered a loss.

This pool is double elimination. Here is how it works:

-- If your team wins, you advance to next week
-- If your team loses once, your entry is allowed one incorrect pick and advance to next week
-- If your team loses twice, your entry is eliminated.

If a particular pool ends early in the NFL season, we will start a new one, giving adequate time for signups and enough weeks to be able to determine a winner. The league commissioner will let everyone know ahead of time if there will be another pool run in the same NFL season
What If All Players Chooses A Losing Team In The Same Week?: Consider this an additional chance for all teams without any penalties. If your team loses and all other entries lose too, you are still alive. However, the teams chosen by each player will be counted and may not be used again.

EXAMPLE:
Player 1 chooses Arizona
Player 2 chooses Buffalo
Player 3 chooses Detroit
Player 4 chooses Oakland

If Arizona, Buffalo, Detroit and Oakland all lose, all 4 teams remain in the pool and try again next week.
Winners: The last player remaining will be declared the winner.

If there is more than one person remaining after the final week of the season, ties will be broken using the following tiebreakers:

1.) Teams with no losses
2.) Teams with one loss
3.) Teams with the longest run of consecutive correct picks during the entire pool. (This can be at any point during the pool and does not have to be at the end)
4.) The tied entries split the pool winnings

The goal for these tiebreakers is to reward the entries that have the most success from the beginning. An entry that has no losses should win the tiebreaker if they are going head to head with an entry that has one incorrect pick.
SUBMITTING SHEETS
Multiple Sheets: To increase your chances of winning, you may play as many times as you wish. Each entry will be scored separately.

If you would like to play a 2nd or 3rd sheet, please contact the league commissioner at info@fantasysportzgames.com before you signup.
Weekly Picks: You have several options in which to submit your picks each week:

1.) Go to our NFL Elimination Challenge homepage and enter your picks by using the link on that page
2.) Send an email with your pick to info@fantasysportzgames.com

If there is another way you would like to submit your picks each week, please let the commish know and he will try to accommodate
Submission Deadline: -For weeks where games for the week begin on Thursday, deadline to submit your pick is Thursday by noon EST

-For weeks where games for the week begin on Friday, deadline to submit your pick is Friday by noon EST

-For weeks where games for the week begin on Saturday or Sunday, deadline is Saturday by noon EST.

PICKS POSTED BY COMMISH: Each week, the league commissioner will try and post all entries for that week just after kickoff. This is not a guarantee but an effort will be made. More often than not they will be posted shortly after kickoff. 
Late Picks, No Picks or Picking the Same Team: NEW FOR 2009: If for some reason your pick should be late, pick the same team more than once, or not submit any pick at all, you will receive an incorrect pick for that week and it will be treated as if you got your selection wrong.

Please make every effort to make your team selection each week to avoid this.
