See individual pool for fee & payment details.

Picks: (as long as you're alive)

Round 1:
Must pick 2 winners each day. (March 20 & 21)

(March 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30, April 5 & 7)

Rebuys:

Rebuys are allowed after each of the first 3 days of play. If you pick a loser on or after Sunday, March 23th you cannot be revived.

Must pick 4 winners the day following your death.

If you survive your 4-pick day, you are back in the pool with the normal pick rules.

Multiple rebuys are encouraged.

Any team prevouslly selected cannot be used again, even if you were dead at the time of the game.

If you run out of teams:

Once you run out of teams to pick, you advance to the next day but take an automatic loss. If any opponent survives the day of your automatic loss, you are dead. If no one survives the day of your automatic loss, you tie with anyone that was still alive going into that day.

Ties:

If all remaining players die on the same day, it is a tie between everyone that was alive at the start of that day.

All tied players are granted an extra day of life. Play is continued on to the next game day with all normal rules in place.

*** The rules superseed anything displayed on the website. Any errors with picks should be reported in a reasonible timeframe. If you see anything out of place a screenshot is worth 1000 words. I will be pushing updates as needed throughout the tournament. -TJ
