For Entertainment-Only NCAAB Survivor contests, the tiebreaker is based on total seed points of all picks, rewarding participants who took greater risks.
Where to Enable the Tiebreaker
To configure the tiebreaker:
Open the Commissioner Console
Navigate to Pool Settings
Select Pick and Scoring Settings
Locate Tiebreaker
Enable the option
How the Tiebreaker Works
The system calculates the total number of all teams each member selected throughout the contest.
Higher seed numbers = lower-ranked teams (riskier picks)
Lower seed numbers = higher-ranked teams (safer picks)
👉 The member with the highest total seed points wins the tiebreaker.
When the Tiebreaker Is Used
The tiebreaker applies when:
Two or more members survive to the same final stage
Multiple winners would otherwise be declared
A single winner needs to be determined
Best Practices
Enable the tiebreaker before the contest begins
Confirm the setting aligns with your group’s preferences
Summary
The tiebreaker uses total seed points from all picks to break ties, favoring entrants who selected lower-seeded (riskier) teams. Enabling this option ensures a clear winner even if multiple members survive to the end of the Survivor contest.
