Entering the Contests Make your pick on the contest web site. No cost to enter the contest, but only Affordable Trophies customers are invited to participate. A contest of NL teams will be run first, then an AL contest; additional survivor contests may be run depending on the amount of time left in the MLB season. Winners will receive a magnificent trophy similar to the one pictured on the left!

Survive!

• Each week, surviving contestants must pick one team that they think will win at least two games between Friday and Sunday of that week.
• Contestants that pick a team that fails to win at least two games that weekend (Friday through Sunday) are eliminated. Those that correctly pick a team that wins at least two games that weekend survive to pick the following week.
• Contestants must pick a different team each week. Picking a team that he/she picked in any previous week results in being eliminated. The web form will NOT alert a player that he/she picked a team he/she has already picked. There will be a report on the web site showing all teams picked by all players for each week; it is each player's responsibility to keep up with his/her previous picks and ensure that a repeat team is not selected.
• Virtually all teams will be playing three games from Friday through Sunday; in the event that a rainout occurs and a selected team plays less than three games, the team must still win two of the remaining games for the contestant to survive. In the event of one or more double-headers being scheduled during a weekend, that just gives a selected team more opportunities to collect wins. The bottom line is, the selected team must win at least two games no matter what for the contestant to survive.
• The winner shall be the person who is the last remaining survivor.
• In the event of a tie, the player picking the team with the worst winning percentage in the last (surviving) week shall be declared the winner; if that does not break the tie, preceeding weeks will be used in similar manner until the tie is broken.
• Current survivors will be posted on this site, as well as entry forms for the next week.
