CBB Survivor ’17

rtc-survivor-tc

Congratulations to BOSQUE for getting all the way through the season plus the NCAA Tournament with only two strikes! He is the 2016-17 CBB Survivor!

———————-

And we move into the NCAA Tournament with 15 survivors still standing. Here are the splits:

  • 2 One-strike Survivors (1 strike remaining)
  • 13 Two-strike Survivors (0 strikes remaining)

The Week 18 form is now live!

This “week” consists of the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. Survivors will pick two teams on Thursday and normal rules apply about survival and elimination. Those who advance to Friday will do the same.

MAKE PICKS HERE.

DEADLINE: NOON ET THURSDAY 3/17 (START OF NCAA TOURNAMENT)

Note: If we get through Friday and still have several survivors remaining, then we will continue making picks through the Second Round (Saturday/Sunday) with tiebreakers attached on Sunday. The first tiebreaker is number of strikes. The others will be determined later. CBB Survivor will end with one winner on Sunday, March 19. 


Update: Week 17 picks are live. Week 18 form will be available after the NCAA Tournament bracket has been set and the methodology for that week is determined. 

The final week of the regular season is in the books and it’s time to move into postseason play with Championship Week on deck. There are 26 survivors still standing — here are the splits:

  • 11 One-strike Survivors (1 strike remaining)
  • 15 Two-strike Survivors (0 strikes remaining)

The Week 17 form is live!

Keep in mind that Championship Week (W17) is treated the same as any other week in CBB Survivor. You pick two teams that you think will win all of their games that week. If a team loses, you take a strike. If both your teams lose, you’re auto-eliminated. You cannot use teams you’ve already used and that rule will extend throughout the First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Tournament if we need to go to daily or round-by-round lightning rounds. Plan accordingly.

MAKE PICKS HERE.

DEADLINE: NOON ET TUESDAY 3/7 (START OF ACC TOURNAMENT)


Getting down to it now… we’re through Week 15 and 30 survivors are still standing. Here are the splits:

RULES: Rules are easy. Pick two teams that you think will go unbeaten during the first full week of action (Friday Nov. 11 – Sunday Nov. 20). You cannot choose teams that you have already chosen in previous weeks, and it is your responsibility to know which teams you’ve already used. Your pool of available teams are the 75 schools from the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC. Note that the Big East option is new this year — 10 more teams.

WEEK ONE FORM: LOCATED HERE.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • If both your teams go unbeaten, you advance to next week (note: both teams MUST play at least one game).
  • If your teams split (one goes unbeaten; one loses), you use a strike and advance to next week.
  • If both your teams lose a game (or more than one game), you are eliminated.

ELIMINATIONS: If you attempt to use the same team twice in a season, or you choose a team that doesn’t play that week, or you miss a weekly deadline, you are eliminated. The game will go for as long as there are survivors standing, but we may reserve the right to go to daily lightning rounds during the NCAA Tournament if necessary.

STRIKES: You’re allowed two strikes during the season. A THIRD strike eliminates you. Note this rule is new as well.

DEADLINE: One entry per person, please. Deadline for Week One is 6 PM ET Friday 11/11. No exceptions!

PRIZES: The last #cbbsurvivor standing will win two tickets to the 2017 NCAA Tournament regional of his choice. Second through fifth place will receive RTC t-shirts. Good luck!
