How to Create an Entertainment-Only NCAAB Survivor Contest

An Entertainment-Only NCAAB Survivor Contest is a self-managed contest where you run the pool independently. This means you are responsible for collecting entry fees and distributing payouts outside of the Splash Sports platform.

Step 1: Log In to Your Splash Sports Account

Start by signing in to your Splash Sports account.

Once logged in, navigate to the Create A Contest tab to begin the setup process.


Step 2: Select the NCAAB Survivor Format

Within the contest creation flow:

  1. Navigate to the NCAAB category

  2. Select NCAAB Survivor Contest from the available formats

This will open the Survivor contest setup options.


Step 3: Choose Entertainment-Only (Self-Managed)

To create an Entertainment-Only contest:

  • Go to the Entry Fee section

  • Select “I’ll collect entries and handle payouts on my own”

Choosing this option ensures your contest is set up as self-managed, meaning:

  • Splash Sports does not collect entry fees

  • Splash Sports does not handle payouts

  • All payments and prize distribution are managed by you


What “Entertainment-Only” Means

Entertainment-Only contests are ideal for private groups, office pools, or friend leagues that prefer to handle money separately.

With this setup:

  • You control entry collection

  • You manage payouts directly

  • The platform provides scoring, picks, and standings only


Once you complete these steps and finalize your settings, your Entertainment-Only NCAAB Survivor Contest will be ready to share with participants.

If you’re unsure whether a self-managed or platform-managed contest is right for you, our support team is happy to help.
