About Survivors’ Club

Last Man Standing is a brilliant game. Running it is a nightmare.

You know the drill. One person ends up as the unpaid admin — chasing everyone’s pick every Friday night, keeping a mental list of who’s already used Arsenal, squinting at ten scorelines on a Saturday to work out who’s out, and refereeing the inevitable “but I texted before kickoff!” row. The pot lives in a shoebox or one bloke’s bank account, and the whole thing limps along on a WhatsApp group and a battered spreadsheet.

Survivors’ Club exists to do that admin for you. Set up a competition in under a minute, share a link, and we handle the rest — locking picks at kickoff, pulling in results, knocking people out automatically, nudging the stragglers, and keeping a live survivor table everyone can see. You get all the banter and bragging rights, with none of the Saturday-night spreadsheet.

We keep the score. You keep the cash.

Here’s the important bit: Survivors’ Club never touches your money. Entry fees and prizes are collected and paid out by your organiser, person to person, exactly as they always have been. We’re a scoreboard, not a bookie — we take no cut and hold no pot. That’s deliberate, and it’s what keeps the whole thing free and simple.

Free, and built by someone who got fed up

This started because running my own Last Man Standing off WhatsApp drove me up the wall — so I built the thing I wished existed. It’s free to play, works for the Premier League, the World Cup and the rest, and runs on any phone with nothing to download. If it ever saves your group the faff, you can buy me a coffee — but you’ll never have to pay to play.

So retire the spreadsheet. Long live the group chat.
