NFL Team Survivor (Private Contests): Key Features to Get Commissioners & Players Excited

For Commissioners — "You're in Complete Control"

  • One product, any league mix — Run a pure NFL survivor pool, a pure college pool, or blend both leagues into one contest where members pick from either league each week.

  • Make survivor your own — Multiple lives, team re-use limits, multi-pick weeks, loser pools, straight-up or against-the-spread, playoff resets, and a once-a-season bye that saves members who forget to pick. Classic one-life survivor out of the box — or as ruthless or forgiving as you want.

  • Stay in control all season — Most settings are editable mid-contest, eliminated members can be revived from the Entrant Manager, and the endgame is your call: split the pot among all survivors or run a tiebreaker gauntlet down to a single winner.

  • Built for big contests — No cap on entrants, and Flexible Multi-Picks automatically tightens the screws when too many entries are still alive late in the season.

  • Groups make it a team sport — Department-vs-department or family-vs-family standings on top of the individual race.


For Players — "Every Week Is Win or Go Home"

  • Simple to play, hard to master — One pick a week, but every team you burn is gone. Planning your season-long path is the real game.

  • Second chances, if your commish allows them — Extra lives, a once-a-season bye, auto picks, and commissioner revivals mean one bad Sunday doesn't have to end your season.

  • Loser pools flip the script — Pick the team that loses. Same sweat, whole new strategy.

  • Transparent standings — Alive vs. eliminated at a glance, lives remaining, and pick history for every entry once picks lock.

  • Plan ahead — Picks in advance let strategists map their whole season around team availability.
