About Us

Our Games & Tools

Survivor Pool

A contest where you pick one team each week to win. If the team you picked wins, you advance; if it loses, you are eliminated. You cannot pick the same team twice in a season, which means you need to have a strategy and make a plan. Easy to play, tough to win - see if you can survive the entire season and win the pool.
