The 24 playoff contestants are broken into NHL playoff style seedings based on the point standings. Anyone who won a Survivor game during the season automatically qualifies for the playoffs. Playoff format is: contestant 1(most points)v contestant 24(fewest points out of top 24), contestant 2 v contestant 23, etc, etc. The playoffs are broken into 4 stages of 5 game matchups.
Each contestant can only select a player one time in each round of the Survivor Playoffs(eg Vanek just one time, Pominville just one time). Incorrect selections do NOT result in elimination. Failure to make a selection before each game does NOT result in elimination. The contestant with the most correct selections in their head-to-head 5 game series advances to the next round.
Any tied series' after the 5 games will be broken using total goals of the 5 players selected, then total points followed by most total shots. The first round gets us from 24 to 12, then we'll go from 12 to 6 and once again from 6 to 3. The final 3 Survivors will battle it out in a 3 way series to determine the Ultimate Survivor.
Second Round Schedule:
Game One @ BOS (03/08/12)-Higher Seed first pick
Game Two @ OTT (03/10/12)-Higher Seed first pick
Game Three vs MTL(03/12/12)-Lower Seed first pick
Game Four vs COL (03/14/12)-Lower Seed first pick
Game Five @ FLA (03/17/12)-Higher Seed first pick
-If two non Survivor winners meet---Home Ice/First pick advantage for 3 games goes to most points
-If two Survivor winners meet---Home Ice/First pick advantage for 3 games goes to most points
-If one Survivor winner and one non winner meet.----Home Ice/First pick advantage for 3 games goes to Survivor winner regardless of points.
Home Ice/First pick advantage is only good up until 7 hours prior to puck drop of that game. Deadline times are in EST. 12pm deadline for 7pm games, 12:30pm deadline for 7:30pm games, 3pm deadline for 10pm games, 3:30pm deadline for 10:30pm games. 1pm deadline for 8pm games, 8am deadline for 3pm games. If the contestant with the first pick advantage fails to make their selection prior to the 7 hour deadline, he/she loses that advantage for that game and their opponent is able to make their selection at any time.
