Rules
Picking Winners. Select only winners to advance to the next slate (day). Losses, ties, and missed picks result in elimination from the contest. Running out of teams to pick will also result in elimination.
Picking Losers. Select only losers to advance to the next slate. wins, ties and missed picks result in elimination from the contest. Running out of teams to pick will also result in elimination.
Winning the contest: The winner shall be the last remaining entry. If all remaining entrants are eliminated in the same slate, the contest will conclude and those eliminated entrants will be declared winners and split the prize in equal shares. Eliminations due to not having any remaining teams to select in a slate are treated the same as making an incorrect pick. If multiple entrants survive through the final contest slate, all surviving entrants will be declared winners and split the prize in equal shares.
There are no tiebreakers. If multiple entrants are declared winners, they will split the prize in equal shares. If all entrants are eliminated during double pick slate, they will split the prize in equal shares regardless of whether they got 0 or 1 picks correct or didn’t make a pick at all.
Tiebreaker: The tiebreaker will be the sum total of the seeds of each entrant’s picks. The highest seed total wins the tiebreaker and first prize. For example, if an entrant selects a #1 seed on the first day of the tournament, a #2 seed on the second day, a #3 seed on the third day and all remaining entrants are eliminated by the end of the third day of the tournament, the entrant’s seed total for the purposes of the tiebreaker is 6. The Tiebreaker will be factored in whenever the contest ends.
Extra lives. If the contest has extra lives enabled, an incorrect pick will result in a loss of one (1) entry life, which is denoted by the number of hearts remaining next to the entry name. Once an entry reaches zero lives, it will be eliminated. An entry cannot lose more than one (1) entry life per slate, even if the slate requires multiple correct picks to advance (e.g. double pick slates.)
Team use limit. Depending on the limit set by the commissioner, entrants may select a team once, twice or three times at most throughout the contest. If the team use limit is “unlimited,” entrants may select a team as many times as they want throughout the contest.
Double pick slate. If double pick slates are enabled, users must make two correct picks to advance to the next slate. If one or both picks are incorrect, or if the entrant fails to make one or both picks, or if the entrant has run out of teams to pick in a double pick slate, the entry will lose one (1) life or be eliminated. Users who make one out of two correct picks will not be awarded a tie breaker over users who get both picks incorrect. Please consider this when making your picks and developing your strategy.
Contest revivals. If the commissioner has enabled contest revivals, the contest will continue until only one entry remains. If the contest has more than one (1) remaining entry, and all remaining entries are eliminated in the same slate, the contest will revive (continue). If all remaining entries are eliminated in the final slate, those entries will be declared winners and split the prize(s) equally.
Entry revivals. If the commissioner has enabled entry revivals (buy back), each entry may make up to pre-set number of entry revivals following elimination. Each commissioner sets the entry revival amount. An entry revival may only be made after the conclusion of the slate in which the entry was eliminated and must be made before the start of the following slate, or the pick deadline, whichever comes first. Entries may be revived until the entry revival deadline set by the commissioner. Revived entries retain all pick history and do not come with extra lives.
Auto picks. With auto picks enabled, entries that fail to enter a pick before the pick deadline for a slate will have a pick automatically made for them based on an auto pick strategy set by the entrant. The number of autopicks allowed for each entry is set by the commissioner.
Full/Partial Prize Split Available This contest may allow the remaining entrants to agree to a full or partial prize split if all of the following conditions are met: the total prize pool must exceed $2,000, the seventh round of the Survivor contest must be completed (defined as the end of the round of eight games or the conclusion of the second Sunday of the tournament), and ten or fewer entrants must remain alive in the contest. All remaining entrants must unanimously agree to the proposed split. In the case of a partial prize split, entrants must also agree to continue playing until a single winner is determined. Unequal prize splits are not permitted under any circumstances. A full prize split results in the contest ending immediately, with the total prize pool divided into equal shares among all remaining entrants, who will then be classified as winners. A partial prize split allocates one-half of the total prize pool in equal shares to the remaining entrants, while the other half is reserved for and awarded to the eventual winner of the contest. Any remaining entrant may propose a full or partial prize split by contacting Splash Sports Customer Service at support@splashsports.com no later than Tuesday, March 31, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Splash Sports will then confirm unanimous approval from all other remaining entrants. Unanimous approval must be received by Friday, April 3, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Note: Until entrants are notified by Splash Sports that unanimous approval has been received and confirmed, all remaining entrants are expected to continue making picks as scheduled.
