I believe that folks are out only on a loss.

But I am not in charge so....who knows the rule for sure?

My eliminator curse is still alive! I always picked the Cheats and hoped for elimination. Now, it is the Tacks!

I don't eliminate for ties and crap this is the second year in a row I am out week 1!

Yea thats not clear, how do ties factor into eliminator? I assume the game is defined as picking winners, and so if you say "Colts didn't win" then anyone picking colts would be eliminated.

and I'm out

Survivor pool rules from another site that does one:
Rules
This pool is an NFL Survivor Pool. The winner of the pool will be the last entry remaining after all others have been eliminated or still remain when the pool ends. Each week, you will select one NFL team to be your pick for that week, subject to the pick restrictions and pick schedule outlined below. If your pick WINS their game during that week (regardless of the point spread or which team is favored) you survive and advance to the next week. When an entry ties or loses, it is eliminated from the competition. A tie game, canceled game or game rescheduled for a different week counts as a bad pick.

Woody is free to run his eliminator as he sees fit, but this is how other places do it.

So am I, but it is because the Tacks lost, so I am cool with it.

Looks like there are only 8 guys still alive, unless I miscounted.

Well, so much for hopes of a repeat, at least the flaming thumbtacks lost is why I'm out

I'm out.... congrats to the Steelers for standing tall.
