All 2025 NCAA Survivor Contests Will Be Hosted on Splash Sports

If you’ve previously hosted an NCAA Survivor contest on RunYourPool or OfficeFootballPool, exciting changes are here for 2025. All NCAA Survivor contests will now be hosted on Splash Sports! Here’s everything you need to know about the transition and how it benefits you as a commissioner.

Seamless Transition to Splash Sports

To restart your NCAA Survivor contest, simply head to RunYourPool or OfficeFootballPool and restart your contest. You’ll be automatically redirected to Splash to complete your setup. The best part? Your previous contest settings will be preserved, making it easy to invite your members from last year with just a few clicks.

Commissioner Benefits: What’s New for 2025?

This year, commissioners now have two free options when restarting their contest:

Option 1: Let Splash Collect Entry Fees

• All users in your contest will deposit and pay securely through the Splash wallet.

• At the conclusion of the contest, payouts will be automatically sent to winners.

• You can opt in to earning commissioner rewards and receive a portion of the prize pool.*

Option 2: Self-Managed Contests‍

• Play exactly as you did last year.

• If you choose to play for money, you are responsible for collecting and distributing payouts.

• For 2025, all NCAA Survivor contests are free! No hosting fees for Self-Managed contests, and for real money contests, Splash takes no rake—100% of the prize pool is paid out to your users!

Why Commissioners Love Splash Sports

“I didn’t have to worry about collecting entry fees… paying people out… tracking people down to make sure that their picks were in – all that commissioner headache stuff really went away when I started using Splash. So it's been a huge time-saver for me… I could not recommend Splash Sports more highly.”

If you have participants located in any of the following states, you must choose the Self-Managed option:
