Rules and general information.
This is a Reverse Survivor competition. Pick a team to LOSE!!!
This game is free to play for all ROD members. This Sportsbook is for those members who want some additional ROD$ action. The entry fee is ROD$2000 The Sportsbook will donate an additional ROD$520 to the prize fund for each entry fee. This pool is winner take all. If there are co-winners the pool will be split equally between the winners.
You pick a team to lose its game in that week of the Regular Season. You can only pick from the 20 teams in the NFL's 5 weakest divisions, (the NFC East and all of the AFC). Teams can only be picked once so you will have to pick 17 different teams for the each of the 17 weeks of the Regular Season. This is TRIPLE elimination so you start with 3 lives. A selected team must lose. A win, a tie, or a missed pick will cost you 1 life. You might to have to be tactical in your picks. By Week 15 you will only have 6 teams left to pick from and you'll be looking for 3 of them to lose. All Regular Season games are included so unlike Pick'em you can pick Thursday games.
If after any week there is only 1 member with 1 or more lives left that member will be the winner. If 2 of more members survive all 17 weeks the winner will be the member with the most lives remaining. If there is a tie for most lives remaining after Week 17 then those survivors tied with the most lives remaining will be co-winners. If all members are eliminated before the end of Week 17 then all members who made picks in the last week in which there were still survivors will be co-winners.
In an attempt to stop anyone from picking an invalid selection, (from the other 3 NFC divisions), the list of available teams will show in alphabetical order as being the home team @ Opponent, (regardless of when and where games are actually played, or who the opponent is). Picking Opponent will cost you a life.
The board will shut at 13:00 EST on Sundays. You can change your pick at any time before the shut-off time or your selected team's game time, (whichever is earlier), so please make picks early. The warning system is set to post reminders 36 and 12 hours before the board closes. The board opens on Wednesdays at 01:00 EST.
The winner(s) may, or may not, get a Survivor banner under their username. That will be up to @CGI_Ram. Personally I think anyone who survives 17 weeks with 1 or more lives left deserves a banner because this competition will be harder to survive than a normal NFL double-elimination Survivor.
Good luck to everyone playing along. It should be a lot of fun.
