This has been a very popular feature, so this year Footballguys once again is presenting the Eliminator Pool Challenge, where staffers have to pick a team to win each week.
Just one? That sounds easy, but here is the catch – you can only pick the team you choose in a given week once all season long.
Many contests and pools out there get pretty big, so an Eliminator (or Survivor) Pool can go 18 weeks.
Here are the specifics:
- It lasts until one person is alive
- Pick one winner per week
- If you are correct, you stay alive
- If you are wrong, you are eliminated
- If you miss a week, you are eliminated
- You can only use each NFL team once
- If all of the people still alive lose, those people come back the following week
- When one person remains (this person is the champion), the game will restart for fun
