Schuylkill River Rugby

September is here and the NFL season kicks off next week. That means our Survivor Pool is officially back!

Last year, we had over 75 entries and more than 50 buybacks. Think you can be the last one standing this year?

Each entry is $25 and single elimination.

How it works: Each week, pick one new team to win their matchup. Win and you move on. Lose and you’re out.

But there’s a twist. Each entry gets the option for one mulligan/buyback for an additional $25.

Last person standing wins the pot. If multiple entries make it through the end of the season, they split the winnings.

*End-of-season rule: If the pool reaches the final week, anyone who finishes the season without using their mulligan will be treated the same as anyone who survives the full season. Anyone who loses in the final week and has not yet used their mulligan must use the $25 buyback to remain eligible for the final pot.

$5 from every entry goes directly to the club.

Join using the link below and get your Week 1 pick in. Good luck!
