- The object of the Survivor pool is to be the last active player.
- In order to accomplish this goal, a user must correctly pick the winner of one professional NFL football game each week.
- But, to make this somewhat simple task more difficult, each user can only pick each professional football team once during the season.
- If a correct selection is made, the user will remain active for the following week.
- Two (2) incorrect selections (loss) and that user will be Eliminated.
- No points spreads are used. The team just has to win.
- The last user(s) remaining wins the entire pool! There are no other prizes.
- Pool size and prize are listed under the Pool Standings Page. The more people that play, the bigger the pool! So get people to play!
- Final prize will be distributed approximately one week after the final regular season NFL game.
- There is no "Deal Making" to split / share the final prize amongst the remaining players prior to the final game. Nor will any email addresses be provided to players in order to negotiate a deal.
- If you select a team that is on a bye for the week, that will count as a loss. You will be ultimately responsible for keeping track of what teams are playing each week.
- We are not responsible for incorrect schedules posted. This is provided for you as a convenience.
- Games that end in a tie are a loss.
- Missed weeks will automatically default to the Monday night game visitor team. If you have already selected that team, it will count as a loss. If there is no Monday night game, it will count as a loss. If there are two Monday night games, the 1st game's visitor will be selected. Make sure you submit your picks each week.
- Verify and keep your confirmation email. This email is your only proof that you selected a particular team in case of glitches.
- No picks allowed after the start of the 1st SUNDAY game for the given week. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. Deadline for picks is Sunday 1:00PM EST for the given week unless Saturday replaces Sunday (during holidays on some years).
- If you want to pick the Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday game team you have until the start of the 1st of those non-Sunday games. Remember, even if the team you want plays at 4:15PM, if there is an earlier game you must submit your pick BEFORE the 1st game.

Welcome to Yahoo Sports Survival Football, a weekly game that challenges you to show your skills by correctly identifying a winning professional football team in each of the 17 weeks of the regular season and each of the 4 weeks of the playoffs.
Each week, you must select one team that you suspect will be a winner in its game that weekend. If that professional team wins, you remain Active and live to pick again the following week. If the professional football team you selected loses (or the game ends in a tie), you incur a Strike (i.e., a miss) and could be Eliminated from the competition and may no longer make future picks, depending on your group's settings.
To make this simple sounding game more of a challenge, you can only select each professional football team once during the regular season while an Active member of an individual group. Team restrictions will be reset at the beginning the playoffs (in groups that pick through the playoffs), and you will again be able to pick each team once.
