One loss and you're out. Classic survivor format.
You get one "life" - survive your first loss, eliminated on second.
Three losses and you're out. More forgiving format for casual pools.
Four losses and you're out. Very forgiving — great for large, casual pools.
Five losses and you're out. Maximum forgiveness for the longest-lasting pools.
