HOW TO PLAY

The group stage is unlike anything else in survivor, your fate hinges on four teams instead of one.
Group Stage - Pick 4 Teams to Advance
Before the tournament kicks off, choose four nations you believe will make it out of the group stage.
Follow the Standings
Track your four teams across group-stage match days to see how they are trending.
All 4 Advance? You Survive.
If all four of your teams finish in the top two of their groups, you advance to the Knockout Stage.
Knockout Stage
It's the same Survivor format you know and love. Pick one team per round to advance, one loss and you're out!

FAQ
To win, outlast all other contestants. Pick one team per round (or 2 depending on contest settings). If your team wins, you survive. If they're eliminated, so are you. The last entrant standing wins the prize. If multiple entrants reach the final, the prize is split evenly.
The Group + Knockout Survivor format starts from the group stage — pick 4 teams before the tournament, then continue picking one team per knockout round (or 2 depending on contest settings). The Knockout Only Survivor begins at the Round of 32, after all group play is complete.
The Free Bracket is a no-entry-fee contest where you predict group stage standings and all 31 knockout match winners. Points are awarded for correct predictions and the contestant with the most points wins from $10,000 in prizes.
If all remaining entrants are eliminated in the same round, the contest will conclude and those eliminated entrants will be declared winners and split the prize in equal shares.
Eliminations due to not having any remaining teams to select in a round are treated the same as making an incorrect pick.
If multiple entrants survive through the final contest round, all surviving entrants will be declared winners and split the prize in equal shares.
