If there's one thing we need right now it's another survivor pool. I've been wanting to do this one since we did the In-Season Tournament Survivor Pool, though, so here we are.
This is going to be similar. I'll backstop a winning pot of 5k, but any zaps I receive on any survivor pool post (including in the comments and from rewards) will go into the pot.
Since the playoffs are only four rounds, we're going to start by making picks for the final games of the regular season and then both rounds of the Play-In Tournament. We're picking who will win each round, so once we're into the playoffs the survivors will be those who won the playoff series.
It's going to be single elimination and I'll follow @grayruby's brilliantly inspired tiebreaker idea from the March Madness Survivor Pool: i.e. tie-breaker points = sum of the seeds of selected picks.
The season ends in two weeks. I'll make the post for final game picks sometime next week.
Zap the pot, jabronis!

You all took part in my last survivor pool. I haven't seen some of you around lately.
Thanks for the ping
I'm in
Nice! This young kid, Lebron James, is showing some real potential this year.
What's his name? Lebow?
It's a French name. There are French players now, if you can believe it.
We always need another survivor pool. Especially one I don’t have to manage.
I’m in.
Considering how quickly most of us seem to lose at them, it's probably best to have several different irons in the fire.
I am bound to win one of these eventually.
Diversification!
Or just bashing my head against the wall persistently until something goes my way.
You know I've been waiting for this. Excited for the playoffs to begin! Count me in.
Awesome! Maybe SGA will make up for his disappointing regular season.
Haha, I'll let you enjoy your W on the MVP race. I shall dominate in this playoff pool.
I want to join this challenge if possible
Of course! The more the merrier.
Thanks!
