The rules

1. A new competition opens every week. Join before round 1 locks; competitions typically run 10-15 gameweeks.
2. Each gameweek, pick one Premier League team. They must WIN - a draw or a loss knocks you out.
3. You cannot pick the same team twice in the same competition. Survive past 20 rounds and all teams free up again.
4. Picks lock 10 minutes before the first kickoff of the gameweek. Until then you can change your pick; after lock everyone's picks are revealed.
5. Miss the deadline and you are assigned the most popular pick in your competition that week (skipping teams you've already used; ties go to the better-placed team).
6. If a picked match is postponed, abandoned or cancelled, your pick is void: you survive the round, but the team still counts as used - exactly as if it had won.
7. Wipeout rule: if EVERY remaining player fails in the same round, nobody goes out - everyone picks again. Teams picked in that round still count as used. This includes when it gets down to the final two players.
8. Last one standing wins. If the season ends with several players still alive, they are joint winners.
9. One entry per player per competition - but a new competition opens every week, and you can play in as many competitions at once as you like.
10. If too few players have joined when round 1 locks, that competition is voided - nobody loses anything, just join next week's competition.
11. All admin decisions are final and every rules decision is logged.

LOS is free to play: no entry fees, no prizes. 18+ only. If gambling stops being fun for you or someone you know, help is at BeGambleAware.org.
