26 July 2026 · The Entrypoint team
If you're setting up a Last One Standing (Last Man Standing) competition for your club, the one document you genuinely need is a rules sheet everyone agrees to before entering. Here it is, free, no sign-up required.
Download the rules sheet (Word) — a one-pager with the standard rules. Add your club name, entry fee, prize and contact, and share it with every entrant before they pay.
If you were also searching for a pick-tracking spreadsheet: read the next section first. The spreadsheet is the part of this fundraiser that eats volunteers — and it's the part you don't have to do at all. On Entrypoint, entry, card payment, pick deadlines, reminder emails, results, eliminations and the live leaderboard are all automatic, setup is free, and funds go Stripe-direct to your club account. Set up your competition in five minutes →
Whether you run it on a platform or by hand, most disputes come from the same five situations, so rule on them in advance: a draw counts as elimination (the team must win); a missed deadline is an elimination, not a carried-over pick; a postponed match carries the entrant through to the next round with the team still marked as used; if everyone left goes out in the same round, the prize is shared equally; and the organiser's decision is final. All five are already written into the rules sheet above — and all five are enforced automatically when the competition runs on Entrypoint, so there's nothing to adjudicate.
An honest assessment, because we've watched clubs go through it. Running a Last One Standing manually means one volunteer, every single gameweek for up to nine months, must: collect a pick from every entrant before kick-off (they arrive by WhatsApp at 11pm on Friday), check nobody has reused a team, chase the members who haven't picked, record cash payments, check results, mark eliminations, and publish the update — then handle the "I definitely sent you my pick" disputes. With 20 entrants it's manageable. At 50, it's a real weekly job. At 100+ — which is where the real fundraising happens — it's hours a week, and a single wrong cell becomes a committee agenda item.
The cruel part: the better your fundraiser does, the worse the admin gets. Every extra entry is more money for the club and more work for the one volunteer holding the spreadsheet.
Clubs on Entrypoint run the same competition with none of that. Members enter and pay by card through one shareable link, picks lock automatically at the deadline, reminder emails go out so nobody sleeps through a gameweek, results and eliminations are processed after every round, and the whole club follows a live leaderboard. There's nothing to set up technically and nothing to pay up front — the fee starts at 10% of entries and drops to 5% past 100 entries, and every entry lands directly in the club's Stripe account. Your volunteer's weekly job shrinks to posting the elimination drama on social media.
