How Last Man Standing works
Last man standing is a football knockout competition. Everyone picks one team a round to win. Win and you are through; a draw or a loss and you are out — and you can only use each team once.
The rules of Last Man Standing
Pick one team a round
Back a single team to win their match before the deadline.
A win puts you through
A 1-0 is worth exactly what a 5-0 is worth.
A draw is a loss
There is no half-credit. Your team has to win.
Each team only once
Spend the strong sides early and you are picking mid-table away days by spring.
Last one standing wins
It runs until one person is left.
What if you miss the deadline?
A team is picked for you at random from the ones you have left. You are never eliminated for forgetting.
What are wildcards?
One-use cards that bend a single round in your favour. They are optional — whoever sets the competition up decides whether their cup uses them, and what is in the deck is shown inside the game.
Are there points or a league table?
No. You are either still in or you are out, and everybody still in is level. Most versions of this game bolt on a points system; this one does not.
What does it cost?
Nothing. No entry fee, no subscription, no adverts. If a competition is played for money the organiser collects and pays out — no money goes through this site.
