In the NCAA Tournament Survivor Challenge, contestants have to choose two teams that they think will win on each of the first two days of the tournament and then one team on every other day of the tournament. A contestant is eliminated once one of his picks loses. The last contestant standing wins. The 2009 results are displayed below. Here is this year’s contest:
