Rules

Rules for Football Survivor Pool

1) Each week, players will pick one winner from that week's games. The winner is chosen without regards to any point spreads. If that team wins, then you advance to the next week. Ties will count as a loss.

2) At no time can a player pick a team that they have picked in any previous week.

3) Each player is allowed to miss one week and stay in the pool. After the second miss, the player is out.

4) The deadline each week for picks is kickoff for the game. For example, most games begin at 1:00 PM on Sunday. If a team has not been chosen by 1:01 PM Sunday, then you will have to chose from the 4:00 games or the Monday night game, assuming these teams have not been chosen in a previous week.

5) The winner is the player that makes it the furtherest into the season before missing 2 games. In the event of a tie between 2 or more players, the following tie-breaker rules will be used.

1) Fewest misses
2) Furthest into the season before the first miss

If there is still a tie, then the prize pool will be split amongst the remaining teams.

6) If a player fails to submit an entry then they will be assigned a team automatically by the system. The games are listed on the selection screen in order of game time and then alphabetically by city. The last eligible team in the list will be the team that is selected if no pick is made. For example:

The following games are eligible to be selected:
Sunday 1:00 PM
Arizona (at Atlanta)
Atlanta (vs Arizona)
Baltimore (at Buffalo)

Sunday 4:00 PM
Cincinatti (at Cleveland)
Tennessee (vs Washington)

If no selection is made by 1:00 PM on Sunday, the team will only be able to select from the 4:00 PM games (Cincinatti or Tennessee). If no selection is made by 4:00 PM, the system will automatically select Tennessee.

7) Entry fee is a one time fee of $5.

After logging into http://fsp.fnnffl.com, picks may be made by clicking on your name or on the 'Make Pick' link on the left-hand side. Players may pick ahead for as many weeks as they like and may change any pick until the deadline for that pick. A future week pick can only be made if the previous week's pick has been recorded. Picks may also be emailed using the contact form. Picks may also be phoned in at 301-816-9642.
