About Us
The site SurvivorFootball.com originated in August 2009 and grew to player membership of over 2700 by 2014. The site charged $25 per league. In June of 2015 the site and URL rights were purchased by officepoolstop.com, which also provides survivor pool hosting (in addition to other football pool types such as pickem pools), but with far more bells and whistles, and at a much better price - FREE. :)
Why create a Survivor League?
1) Survivor Football is simple to do: Survivor Football is fast and does NOT require a lot of your time. The concept is simple: pick 1 football team to win their game for that week. If they win, you stay in; if they loose, you're out! Picks can be made in less than 1 minute. No worrying about a single player's injury or bye weeks to replace a position.
2) Survivor pools allow for more competition in your league: Since you pick a team to win and not individual players from a team, you can have more members in your league. Compared to Fantasy Football which limits your league size based on the number of available starters and skill players, Survivor allows you to have tons more people. In fact, leagues with hundreds, even thousands, of entries/picks are possible with Survivor leagues!
3) Running a league is VERY simple: Almost everything is done for you by OfficePoolStop.com. In fact, the biggest 'job' that you will have as commissioner of a league is making occassional updates to your league homepage for your members to read that keeps them up to date, occasional taunts to individuals who lost because of a 'bad call' by the ref for that week, etc.
