Here is how the IFP Survivor Challenge will work this year:

The 89 teams have been randomly broken into 3 "tribes"; Payton, Butkus & Sayers.   Starting with week 12 the remaining teams will be merged into 1 tribe.

Through week 11 we will have 3 tribes, the tribe with the weekly winner will get a little bit of a break and will not have as many teams kicked off as the other two tribes. The numbers below in parenthesis indicate the number kicked off the winning tribe and the number from each off the losing tribes.

The tribes will merge in Week 12. When the tribes merge, if you win the week you will have immunity the following week with the exception of week 17.

Then final team standing after week 18 will win.

The initial tribes are on the right.

8 (3,3,2) teams will be eliminated in each of weeks 2 thru 9

5 teams will be eliminated in weeks 10 thru 11

3 teams will be eliminated in weeks 12 & 13

2 teams will be eliminated in weeks 14 thru 16.

1 teamswill be eliminated in week 17

The final 2 teams will battle it out in week 18.
