  1. Registration fee must be paid to the commissioner by this date. Registration Fees can be turned in to the commissioner with cash or through this Venmo account:

  2. Players must register for the online pool:
    • Link here to MySurvivorPool.com and click “Create Account”
    • Create Your Account (Your Name, Email, Your Personal Password)
    • Enter the Pool Password of LMS6226 and click “Join Survivor Pool”
  3. Declare your Team Name to the commissioner via email veggiegames@ptd.net – NOTE: Only one team per person is allowed.

Play

The general object of Last Man Standing is quite simple. Each week during the NFL regular season you select one of the 32 NFL teams. If that team wins, you are still “standing” and in competition for the next week. If your team loses or ties, you are eliminated from further competition. The only caveat is that you can only use a team once. There are 17 weeks in the regular season and each week, there are fewer players left standing than the previous week and those players that are left have fewer teams to choose from.

  1. While logged on to My Survivor Pool, choose the “My Picks” tab under Veggie Games. Here you can pick a team for each week of the season, either one week at a time or several weeks ahead if you’d like. However, any team that you have already chosen for a previous week will not be eligible to be picked for any future week.
  2. You may use an NFL team only once. You may have to successfully choose 18 different teams to remain “standing” at the end of the season. A report will be generated on the Run Your Pool showing a grid of which players chose which NFL team on which week as the season goes on.
  3. Play continues until one of the following situations:
    1. All but one player is eliminated and that player is the winner (“King of the Hill”)
    2. The few players left standing after a particular week all agree to end the season at that point and split the winnings
    3. The regular season ends (after week 18) and multiple players are still alive, splitting the winnings among them

Weekly Submission

All submissions will be made online through MySurvivorPool.com. There will be no submissions through email or phone. If needed, we will assist you in getting your account set up, but once the season starts it is your responsibility to log on each week and choose an eligible team before the deadline. Failure to do so will result in elimination from further competition.

  • For most games, you will have until 1:00pm on Sunday to make your pick, Obviously, if you want to choose a team involved in a Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday game, you must submit prior to kickoff of those games.
  • You may change your pick online anytime prior to the week’s submission deadline.
  • My Survivor Pool offers many graphical reports and point spreads to help make your choice more informed.

Winnings

Winnings will be the total of all registration fees minus 10% for admin and maintenance. The total number of registrations will be posted shortly after the registration deadline on September 9th. King of the Hill will receive all winnings except in the case where there are multiple players left standing after Week 17 where all winnings will be split equally

Players left standing in later weeks may agree to end the season early and split the winnings, provided that ALL players left standing agree to do so and it is approved by the commissioner

In the case where all players are eliminated (no one left standing) in the same week, we will revert back to the previous week and end the season there. All players who were standing that previous week will split the winnings equally. Ex. There are 3 players left standing after week 14. For week 15 they all choose teams that lose. The season is rolled back to week 14 and the 3 players split the winnings.

Good Luck!
