Survivor Pool 2025 Week 2 Survivors
Wow I think Iâm done here. I try to sound like Iâm able to change my mind in the future but I liked this survivor and my pick for the Ravens week 2 just like that didnât count. Wow nice guys.
You must choose a new team each week. Picking a team youâve already chosen in a previous week will get you eliminated. If thatâs what you meant.
I think going forward there needs to be a easy for the player to know their vote was counted for sure without having to ask a mod
In previous years the team you chose kind of had a different backgrounds letting you know the choice was submitted. Or just a pop up saying " your choice or _____ was successfully submitted"
People shouldnt be getting knocked out when they thought they made a pick simply because they canât tell if their pick was registered

@Luna_Bovada But there is a very simple way. LOOK! The ballots have âradio buttonsâ or circles to click for your vote. Once you voted, that teamâs button turns black. Itâs very simple to see who you voted for. If you want to be 100% certain, close your browser and open the page again. Or refresh it. Or both. If your circle is still black, then your vote has been recorded. Polls have been this way forever. If someone is voting on their phone, the same process should work.
As for people getting eliminated because they didnât know if they picked, itâs on them to know. If itâs important to you, youâll double check. The mods shouldnât have to waste their time babysitting players every week. Thatâs why there is an automated poll.

@Luna_Bovada @Bukayo_Bovada Iâve used my computer to compare the 182 votes cast via the Week 3 ballot to the week 1 and week 2 survivors lists you folks published this week. Of the 182 votes cast, only 164 are legitimate; the other 18 are illegitimate in that they were no longer in the competition for week 3, according to the recently published week 1 and 2 survivor lists.
If a moderator private messages me, Iâll be happy to send the names to you rather than post them publicly and cause undue drama. I assume you folks already have this data, but it might be useful to compare lists. Hopefully starting with week 4 youâll only permit eligible players to vote.

Once youâve made a selection, youâll be able to view both your choice and the choices of others, along with the teams they voted for. It really doesnât get any simpler than that.

1000% agree. This isnât confusing at all.
@Bukayo_Bovada Not exactly! If Iâm not mistaken, that is only the way Week 1âs poll worked BEFORE the deadline.
For weeks 2 & 3, I believe we only could see the ballot and the circles BEFORE the deadline.
Most of the concern expressed by players sinceâŚforeverâŚis how they can be certain BEFORE the deadline that their vote was recorded, and for which team. As long as the balloting system stays the way it is for the rest of the contest, all players need to do is look at the ballot and see if their choiceâs circle is blacked out.
Itâs confusing when the balloting software is different each week. I hope it stays the same from here on out to make it easier to understand for everyone how it works.
Last week abd this week that only happened after the poll closed Bikayp
Week 1 it populares right away though
Just so you know
I have to assume the people who are saying they voted but it register also saw the black dot and assumed they were good to go
I may be wrong though
But that would explain why theyâre upset
I donât think itâs a bad idea to just make it so the system letâs you know right away that youâre pick is registered
Maybe thatâs a lengthy process that doesnât make sense but if itâs not then it would seem to be the best way to go

I suspect at least a few legitimately thought they were eligible to vote last week and this, but either forgot to vote previously or had already been eliminated. Hard to know. As long as the mods can figure out what was done in the past to close voting to only those who are still legitimately survivors, most of this confusion will be eliminated. Every year a big chunk (more than 20%, if my memory is correct) eliminate themselves after correctly picking week 1, only to miss the deadline for week 2.

Last year it would show your submission and would lock the picks âŚguess the mods wanted to change that
This seems like a largely new crop of mods. I doubt they âwanted to change that.â I donât think there was a good handoff, adequate documentation and training, and I think theyâre trying to figure it out on the fly.
Itâs not like I picked two teams that was impossible. I picked the 2 teams everyone was on. Broncos week 1 and Ravens week 2. I answered the poll just like week 1 where I said I donât care if anyone knows bc Iâm taking the broncos. Everyone read it. Iâm sorry I had to spell it out I clicked Ravens and they say it didnât populate. Was it just me? Maybe. Are you saying that an establishment that puts on an event is not liable for the event itself should people point out mismanagement? I think bc itâs online and this person is going it the first time ever I really think you know where the error lies. I clicked ravens. Itâs not even an outlier pick. But like I said I donât care now but the fact I clicked it and it doesnât count and everyone on here would be happy to see anyone eliminated for 5k itâs just barking up the wrong tree and itâs me admitting hey if I have to participate in the upkeep of a competition why not just let it be someone who comprehends basic web site design.
Hello Everyone, we know it is confusing on your end and we are very sorry about this matter, Letâs wait for @Bukayo_Bovada to address it properly to have your mind at rest. Thanks for understanding.
