Can you pick a winner every week without making a single mistake?
We're launching Last Man Standing on SportsBlock ā a knockout prediction competition running across the remaining Premier League gameweeks of the 2025/26 season. One wrong pick and you're out. No second chances. The last person standing wins the lot.
And for this launch edition ā entry is completely free.
šÆ What Is Last Man Standing?
It's simple. Every gameweek you pick one Premier League team to win. If they win, you survive. If they draw or lose, you're eliminated. That's it.
The twist? You can only pick each team once across the entire competition. As the weeks go by, your options shrink. You need to be smart about when you use the big guns ā and brave enough to back a surprise.
The last person still standing at the end wins the prize. If everyone goes out in the same round, the prize is shared.
š° The Prize
| Prize | Amount |
|---|---|
| š” HIVE | 200 HIVE |
| š MEDALS | 5,000 MEDALS |
Funded entirely by SportsBlock. You put nothing in. You could take everything out.
š The Rules
- Pick one team per gameweek ā they must WIN for you to survive
- No repeat teams ā once you've used a team, it's locked for the rest of the competition
- Deadline ā all picks must be in before the first match of each gameweek kicks off
- Forgot to pick? ā you'll be auto-assigned the first available team alphabetically from your remaining options
- Postponed match? ā you survive the round automatically and that team goes back into your available pool
- Last one standing wins ā if everyone goes out in the same week, the prize is shared
