If you're a Draft Buddy customer, make sure you get your pick in prior to Week 1!
Here's How It Works...

- If the team you picked wins, then you advance
- If your team you picked loses or ties, you are out of the contest
- You cannot pick the same team twice
- Last person still standing - our survivor - is the Champ!
- Deadline To Join: Sunday kickoff of Week 1, September 7th, 2025 at 1:00 pm Eastern.

Rules
- Beginning Week 1 of the NFL season, pick one team that will win its game straight up (no point spreads).
- If the team you picked wins, you survive to the next week to pick another team to win. If the team you
picked loses or ties, you are eliminated from the contest.
- You cannot pick the same team twice during the NFL regular season.
- The last person in the contest still alive after all others have been eliminated, our Survivor,
is the winner.
- If necessary, the contest will run the entire NFL regular season and through the NFL playoffs
from Wild-Card Weekend to the Super Bowl. If the contest extends into the NFL
playoffs, then the remaining contestants can pick a team they selected during the regular season, but,
the same team cannot be picked twice during the NFL playoffs.
- The contest will continue as long as there are entries still alive or until the contest's final week,
after the Super Bowl, whichever comes first.
- Weekly Pick Deadline: Each week of the NFL season the final deadline for making
your pick is kickoff of the first game on Sunday. The exact time is usually 1:00 pm Eastern.
This deadline applies to all remaining games for the week, including late Sunday and Monday night
games.
In weeks with early games scheduled for a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, these games can be selected but
picks must be submitted before kickoff of the first game on that day.
No picks for any games can be submitted once games have started for the day. The system will lock out all
submissions until it is reset after the game and pick results have been updated. A correct pick will NOT be awarded for any game that is cancelled for any reason.
These deadlines will be strictly enforced! There will be no exceptions for picks not being submitted on
time.
No Default Pick
No default picks are assigned in this contest for failing to
submit picks prior to the weekly deadline. In the event of an active entry not submitting the required picks on time,
then the entry is out of the contest.
Alternate Pick Submission
If you are having difficulty submitting your pick online, then send the
pick by email to commish@fftoday.com. Make sure to clearly state
your username, week of the contest and pick. The email must be received time
stamped prior to the deadline and from the email account associated with your username. We take no
responsibility for email being delayed past the deadline or not
being delivered. Everyone should use the online system to make their picks and only send an email in the
case of an emergency.
Tie Breaker
If the contest extends into the playoffs, and since it is possible to run out of
available teams to select, the following tie breakers exist:
- A contestant that survives a playoff week but does not have any teams left to pick from is deemed to have
survived further than a contestant that does not survive that last playoff week.
- A contestant who picks a team but loses in a playoff week is deemed to have survived further than a
contestant that had no teams to pick from at the start of that playoff week.
Multiple Winners
If more than one person is still alive at the end of the contest, then
the prize is divided equally amongst the winners.
Restricted States
Residents of Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana and Vermont, plus Quebec, are restricted from entering the contest due to legal
restrictions in these jurisdictions.
Taxes
All taxes associated with the receipt or uses of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. A 30% U.S. income tax withholding will be applied to any non-U.S. prize winners. No winnings will be released until
sufficient documentation is received from the winner.
