The knockout pool, done right. Everyone picks one NFL team to win each week — but you can never use the same team twice, and one loss knocks you out. Picks lock at kickoff, results grade themselves off the real schedule. No spreadsheet, no arguing.
One rule makes it addictive: you can only use each team once. Burn the Chiefs in Week 1 and they're gone for good — so every pick is a gamble against your own future.
Each week, choose one NFL team you think wins straight-up. That's your whole move.
Team wins, you advance. Team loses (or ties), you're eliminated — it's that brutal.
Once you use a team, they're off your board all season. Spend the studs wisely.
Survive longer than everyone else and the pool is yours. Simple, savage, season-long.
You're the commissioner. Set the rules once and share the link.
One loss and out, or give everyone two strikes before they're gone.
The default is a tie eliminates you — flip it if your crew plays ties as survivals.
Optionally let eliminated players buy back in once for a second life.
Kick off in Week 1 or run a late-start pool to dodge the early chaos.
Set a sardine buy-in and show your Venmo / PayPal / Cash App — or run it just for fun.
Text the link to your crew, or list it in the public lobby for anyone to join.
Same thing as a survivor pool — knockout, eliminator, last-man-standing are all names for it. Pick a winner each week, one loss and you're out, don't repeat teams.
Correct, and the system enforces it — once you pick a team it's locked out for the rest of your season. That's the whole strategy.
Off the real NFL schedule. Your pick locks at that game's kickoff and grades automatically from the live result — no commissioner judgment calls.
