NBA Survivor Pools
for the 2024-2025 season

You asked for season-long NBA pools, so we made season-long NBA pools!

For years, our loyal fans have requested that we make regular season pools for the NBA. So, we caved to all that well-meaning pressure and finally did it. We created an NBA Survivor Pool!

It's 25 weeks, 30 teams. Can you, or anybody you know, last all the way until the NBA's regular season's ending in April?

Only one way to find out!

How does the NBA Survivor Pool format work?

  • 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.
  • The last player standing wins.
  • Your pool's pick sheet will become available at the start of each week.

Survivor Pool Options

NBA pool commissioners are provided a number of ways to customize their Survivor Pool, including the options to:

  • Pick winners (Survivor pool) or losers (Loser pool)
  • Allow multiple pick entries per member account or limit members to a single entry
  • Choose the week to start your pool
  • Automatically pick assignments (in the event that members forget to pick)
  • Provide "Mulligan" options for automatic or manual revivals after incorrect picks
  • Include the regular season only or include the playoffs and NBA Finals
  • Allow members to pick an NBA team more than once
  • Customize dashboard messages that your members see upon signing in
  • More ...
