Tie Score
If you are running or participating in an NFL Survivor Pool, there is a possibility that there will be a tie game at some point in the season. The object of a survivor pool is to correctly pick a "winning" team each week. Therefore when one of the games ends in a tie, and a participant of the pool picks either one of the teams, that participant is eliminated.
Variation to the Rule
It's important to note that the pool administrator may choose to run the pool with their own rules. If this is the case, it is quite important that all participants are aware of the rules before the season begins. The rule can easily be changed to " a game ending in a tie, allows the participant to advance to the next week".
