Ok, I run a survival pool at work. Seems like every year we have a tie and just split the purse. We haven't resolved a good tiebreaker. Anyone else out there running this pool with a solution?

Here are the tiebreaker rules I've used here on HN in the past.
1. If every remaining contestant loses during any given week, the eligible contestants from that week will be reinstated the following week. The following week the contestants will resume the contest and be able to choose teams that they have yet to choose during the season.
2. If there are no undefeated teams remaining OR no remaining contestant is able to select a team that remains undefeated, there will be five matchups chosen at random from which contestants will choose.
3. If two or more contests remain going into the bowl season, the contestants will choose from three randomly selected bowl matchups. As a tie-breaker from there, any remaining contestants will choose the national championship game winner and final score. If multiple contestants choose the winner correctly, the final margin of victory, then score of the winning team, then score of the losing team will determine the winner. If multiple contests remain at this point, the winner of the contest will be chosen by random draw.
