Tool 02 · Survivor
Survivor pool
One pick a week. Every team once. Lose and you're done.
How it works
- 01
Pick a team
Tap the week, choose a team you believe wins. That's the whole strategy.
- 02
Mark the result
Survived or eliminated. The board updates and the used team gets locked out.
- 03
Watch the list shrink
Used teams grey out for the rest of the season, so you can't repeat by accident.
- 04
Share the board
Print it, or send the picture to the group when someone finally goes out.
Questions
How does a survivor pool work?
Every week you pick one team to win. If they win, you're through to the next week. If they lose, you're out for the season. The catch is that you can only use each team once, so you can't ride one good team all year.
What happens on a tie?
Most pools count a tie as a loss, some count it as survival. Pickani lets you mark a tie separately so your board matches whichever rule your pool uses.
Can I change a pick I already made?
Yes. Tap the week and pick a different team, or clear it entirely. Your board is yours — Pickani is not the referee.
Does it tell me who to pick?
No. This is a tracker, not a prediction engine. It keeps a perfect record of who picked what and which teams are gone, which is the part people actually get wrong.
Can I track a whole office pool?
Yes — switch to the pool board and add everyone. You get a grid of players by week with eliminations marked, which is the thing that normally lives in a spreadsheet.
Is my pool saved anywhere?
Only in your own browser. There is no account and no server copy. Use the share link or export an image to get it to anyone else.
