Q: How does the NBA Survivor pool format work?
A: The name of the game in any Survivor Pool (also known as Eliminator, Suicide, Knockout, Last Man Standing, or King of the Hill pools) is to make it to the next week.
Members in your NBA survivor pool will get the chance to select one game of all the games in that given week (unless you, the commissioner, decide you want to dial up the difficulty and to choose multiple games).
If members choose the correct winner, they move on to the next week.
Q: How does someone win?
A: The last member that is "alive" or standing wins

A: Your pool's pick sheet will become available at the start of each week.
