Frequently asked questions
What is a Last Man Standing competition?
Each player picks one football team to win each gameweek. Win and you survive; lose or draw and you are eliminated. You cannot reuse a team until you have used them all. The last player remaining wins the pot.
Is it the same as a survivor pool?
Yes — "survivor pool" is the American term for the same format. In the UK and Ireland it is usually called Last Man Standing, LMS, or sometimes a football sweepstake.
Which league do you use?
The Premier League. Fixtures, kickoff times and results sync automatically each gameweek.
What happens if a player forgets to pick?
They are automatically assigned a team from the ones they have left, rather than being eliminated. It keeps the competition moving without anyone having to chase.
What if everyone loses in the same week?
The week rolls over. Results are recorded, nobody is eliminated, and play continues — so the competition cannot end without a winner.
When do picks lock?
At the first kickoff of the gameweek. Picks cannot be changed after that, and nobody sees anyone else's pick beforehand.
Do you handle the entry money?
No. Your club collects entry fees the way it always has and keeps the entire pot. We charge a software subscription and never touch your players' money.
Do players need to install anything?
No. Each player gets a personal link that logs them straight in on their phone. There is no app and no password to remember.
Can we use our club crest and colours?
Yes. Upload your crest and set two colours in your admin settings, and your players see your club's branding throughout.
Can we run more than one competition?
Yes. When a competition finishes you can start a new season, and your player list carries over so you are not rebuilding it every year.
Is our data private?
Each club's data lives in its own separate database, and club sites are excluded from search engines. See our privacy policy for detail.
What do we do if we get stuck?
Email us. A real person who has run one of these competitions will answer.
