Combine that with the popularity of the men's NCAA Basketball Tournament, and you've got a winning formula.
HOW DO MARCH MADNESS SURVIVOR POOLS WORK?
Here are the rules for our NCAA Survivor pools:
Each pool member chooses one team each day or round (configurable by the pool commissioner).
Each team can only be picked once throughout the tournament.
If a member's pick is correct, they survive until the next day/round.
An incorrect pick eliminates the player from the pool for the remainder of the tournament.
The goal is to be the the last member standing at the end of the tournament.
The beauty of the Survivor pool format is that it is simple enough to allow almost anyone to participate in your private pool, while at the same time being challenging enough for even the biggest College Basketball fan.

MAKING PICKS
RunYourPool.com makes the process of picking a team safe and simple. Gone are the days where members mistakenly pick a team they've already used. We keep track of each member's picks and prevent them from repicking a team.
VIEWING PICKS AND STANDINGS
We want to be able to see who everyone picked when we watch the games, but we don't want members basing their picks on other members picks. At RunYourPool.com, pool members are able to view all other pool members picks ONLY after the pick deadline has passed.
For viewing picks, we have designed two easy to understand reports. Our Pick Summary Report allows members to get a summary for the current picks and see a summary of eliminations to date. Our All Picks Report shows a history of the pool from the start, showing every pick made by every member in an easy-to-understand matrix. It is simple to see who is still alive and who has been eliminated.
