  • The player has to pick a team each week for winning the game if the market is a winning outcome and then the player has to answer a tiebreaker question.
  • Only one team once can be chosen by the players.
  • Football Survivor gives players a deadline for the selection of the teams, i.e. one week prior to the game. If the player does not choose their team within that time period then the application will choose the available team on their behalf with the lowest rank and the players will also not be able to answer the tiebreaker question.
  • The players have to be careful in their selection as they can get eliminated if their selection turns out to be incorrect.
  • For buying back into the league, the eliminated players will get five minutes before the next game week deadline starts. 
  • The players will be given the option of buying back into a league two times
  • On the other hand, if there is only one winner in the game week then the winner will get all the BuyBacks and the option of buying back will be unavailable.
  • The winning of the pot depends on the player who will last longest in the league.
  • A tiebreaker question becomes viable when more than one player gets eliminated together at the end of the league and the tiebreaker answer decides who can take the pot.
  • In some circumstances, if the tiebreaker question has the same answers or somewhat same answers then the pot is equally distributed among the players.
  • If there are postponed games, then both the teams are considered as winning selections.
  • For covering the costs of operational applications, Football Survivor charges a 15% of administration fees on all the buybacks and league entries.
  • Join a league first by creating an account in Football Survivor and depositing the money you want to spend on the favorite club in the account for the entry fee of the league. Entries are finalised after the player pays the entry fee, the refund is not applicable. 

Leagues can be of two types open and closed.

  1. Open league: Open leagues are visible in the “Join Leagues” section and anyone can join it by paying an entry fee.
  2. Closed league: Closed leagues can be categorised as VIP leagues and these are not visible in the “Join Leagues” section. A unique code is assigned to all the leagues and if anyone wants to join it then they have to apply the code and pay an entry fee to join the league.

Creation of leagues: Players can create leagues and a league can be active after 2 players have joined the league.

  • If a player wants to enter a league late then buybacks are used for the entry or for the re-entry if a player is eliminated.
