2011 NFL Survivor Frequently Asked Questions

  • What name do I text in to 49451?
  • You must text in the name of the team. All one word, so that our TEXTing system can consistently recognize the team you want. (i.e.. Seahawks, Titans, Lions, Patriots, etc.) avoid anything else in your TEXT message.
  • What counts as a loss?
  • If the team you chose either lost or didn't play. They have to win the week that you chose them.
  • If you choose a team that already played that week, and you're trying to cheat. Like if you TEXT in your pick for a team on Friday and they already won the night before.
  • What if a team does not play due to a natural disaster?
  • If it's determined after 10am on Friday, that the team that you chose will not play ... you will be allowed to select a different team that has yet to play that week, as long as that game has not taken place, before you text in
  • What happens if I miss the window to text in?
  • Sorry, you will not win that week and will be eliminated from being this year's NFL Survivor Contest.
  • What if there is a tie going into the last weekend of the regular season?
  • Everyone that has survived, will not only choose a team to win that week, they will be required to pick every winner to every NFL game that week, against the spread.
  • What if I miss all of the text in windows, during the first week, September 5-8, 2011?
  • Sorry! You miss the first week, you've lost before you started.
  • What is the grand prize?
  • A trip for two to Indianapolis for the Final Game of the year, in February.
  • What happens Thanksgiving weekend? When do I text in?
  • The TEXT window will be open both TUESDAY, November 22nd and WEDNESDAY, November 23rd. We will keep the window open for the entire show ... 3pm-7pm.
  • How do I know if I’m still in the contest?
  • Click on the STILL ALIVE link that will display the last 5 digits of the phone numbers that are still alive. Any challenges, e-mail Gus at gus@950KJR.com
  • How many times can I select a team?
  • Only once, throughout the entire contest. Keep track of the teams you pick.
  • What if I select a team that doesn't play, cause it's their bye week?
  • Bummer ... you lose.
  • Can I text in on Friday a team that won on Thursday?
  • Uh, no! You must pick a team that hasn't played that week. Now, you could choose a team that plays on Thursday, during the Thursday window.
Got a question that isn't answered here ...
   

updated Monday, December 26 - 3pm

Here are 5 digits of the cell numbers that are still alive! We'll only post the last 5 digits of your cell phone number, so there may be duplications, but that's because there may be different numbers (area code and prefix). I'm sure you don't want your full number out there, do you? Believe you should still be alive? E-Mail gus@950KJR.com ... but, please look before you e-mail and e-mail the whole number, not just the 5 digits. Cool? Cool.

Congratulations to Andrea Wager!!!
