Survival Contest Rules

You may enter as often as you like.

All entries must be submitted no later than April 1, 2010. 

Each week, you will need to submit the team you will manage for the upcoming week.  All weeks run from Monday through Sunday.   

All submissions for the upcoming week must be submitted no later than 11:59pm ET the Saturday before the following week. 

Owners who do not make a selection will be assigned the team with the worst overall record.  If more than one team is tied for the worst overall record, the team who's name comes first alphabetically will be assigned for the upcoming week.  It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure they have their confirmation for the upcoming week.  

Owners may only use a team once for the entire season.  There are 26 weeks in the season, so at the end of the season, you will need to have chosen 26 different teams. 

In order to remain in the contest, owners must select a team that wins a minimum of two games the week they are chosen.  If your selection does not win at least two games, you will be eliminated from the contest.  The only exception will be the shortened All Star week.  For this week, owners will still make a selection; however, the team selected must win at least one game in order for you to continue.   

At the end of the season, the winner will be the team that survives the longest.  If the remaining teams are eliminated in the same week or multiple teams make it the whole season without being eliminated, the tie breaker will be used to determine the winner.  Owners will receive 1 point for every win their selected team receives for the week.  At the end of the year, all wins will be added up and in the event of a tie, the team with the most wins will be the winner.  If there is a tie for total number of wins, owners will split their respective prize award.

Prize pool will be determined by the total number of entries.  The winner will receive 70% of the prize pool, with 2nd place receiving 20% of the prize pool.
