LOS 17 Rules

Buy-In:

• $50 entry fee.

• A $3 fee from each entry goes to cover administrative and extra fees.

---

Game Format:

• You will pick fighters from every UFC card.

• Each player starts with three lives.

• Picks must be sent to me via private message before the first fight of the card — no excuses.

---

Lives and Eliminations:

• If you lose a pick, you lose a life:

  • Lose one pick → start next card with two lives.

  • Lose two picks → start next card with one life.

• Once you lose all your lives, you are eliminated.

• The goal is to be the last one standing.

---

Bonus Lives (Underdogs):

• +150 or better underdog win = +1 life.

• +300 or better underdog win = +2 lives.

• Only odds from the following sportsbooks are allowed:
  [5Dimes, Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, DraftKings, FanDuel] — available at https://fightodds.io/

• If you lock in an underdog (+150 or better) from Friday of fight week onward, you keep that bonus chance even if the odds move later.

---

Late-Game Rules:

• When 10 players remain:

  • Only fighters -500 or below are eligible, using BetOnline odds on fight day.

• When 5 players remain:

  • Only fighters -300 or below are eligible, again using BetOnline odds.

---

Special Situations:

• No Eliminations in a Week:

  • The following card, you must either:

    • Pick a fighter + method (ITD or Decision). You must get both right to keep your life.

    • OR pick a fighter at +110 or better (but no bonus life unless +150 or better).

• No Contest or Draw:

  • If your pick results in a no-contest or draw, you must pick an underdog (+money) on the next card (odds from 5Dimes).

• Fight Cancellation Mid-Card:

  • If your fighter’s match gets canceled mid-event, you must quickly pick a replacement.

  • If you fail to pick a replacement, you automatically get the main event favorite.

---

Final Two Players:

• It’s first come, first served — once a fighter is locked in, the other player cannot pick the same fighter.

---

Pot Splitting:

• At any time in the late stages, remaining players may agree to split the pot.

  • If you split, you are not considered a winner and will start the next season with one less life.

---

Other Notes:

• Winning the Season:

  • If you are the sole survivor, you will start the next season with an extra life.

• Everyone Eliminated the Same Card:

  • If everyone gets eliminated in one event, the pot is split among the remaining players.
