# 🎱 ULTIMATE POOL – LAST MAN STANDING 2026

## 🔥 THE ULTIMATE SURVIVAL EVENT 🔥

Last Man Standing returns in 2026 with a brand-new look, fresh twists and even more drama.

Thirty-two players will enter the arena, but only one will survive.

Unlike a traditional knockout tournament, the winner of each match stays on the table and immediately chooses who they want to play next. Every decision carries consequences. Pick wisely and momentum can build quickly. Pick poorly and your event could be over in an instant.

---

## ⭐ FAN'S PICK

Before a ball is struck, the fans will have their say.

One player will be selected as the **Fan's Pick** and will have the honour of starting the event by choosing the opening opponent.

Will the crowd favourite thrive under the spotlight, or will the pressure prove too much?

---

## 🔫 THE HITMEN

Lurking within the field are five designated **Hitmen**.

For 2026, those players are:

- 🔫 Tom Cousins
- 🔫 Declan Brennan
- 🔫 Chris Melling
- 🔫 Shaun Chipperfield
- 🔫 Phil Harrison *(Last Man Standing 2025 Champion)*

Each Hitman carries a **£500 bounty**, creating a total bounty fund of **£2,500**.

Defeat a Hitman and you'll earn a spin of the Wheel, with the chance to:

- 💰 Win Instant Cash
- 🎯 Acquire the Hitman's Bounty
- ❤️ Award the Hitman the event's single Extra Life

The deeper the tournament goes, the bigger the target becomes.

---

## ❤️ THE EXTRA LIFE

There is only **ONE Extra Life** available in the entire event.

If awarded, a defeated Hitman survives elimination and returns to the competition.

Should the Extra Life still be available when the Final is reached, it could create one final twist before a champion is crowned.

---

## 🔥 THE HOT SEAT

One of the biggest changes for 2026 is the introduction of a more accessible Hot Seat.

Any player who wins **two matches in succession** will earn:

- 🛡️ Immunity from being selected
- 🛡️ Protection from the random generator
- 💷 A £100 Hot Seat Bonus

There are **six Hot Seat bonuses** available throughout the event.

Once a player reaches the Hot Seat, two new players are selected at random to continue the action while the Hot Seat occupant watches from safety.

The Hot Seat remains active until the Final 5 players remain.

---

## 🃏 THE JOKER CARD

New for 2026 is the mysterious **Joker Card**.

One player will secretly hold the Joker Card, with only the Tournament Team and the chosen player knowing its identity.

If the Joker Card holder is selected to play, they can activate the card and:

- 🔥 Instantly enter the Hot Seat
- 💷 Claim a £200 bonus
- 👤 Choose another player to take their place

However, there is a catch...

Anyone who selects the Joker Card holder will see their winning streak reset to zero.

In a format built on momentum, that could be devastating.

---

## 🎟️ THE WILDCARD

A special **Wildcard Entry** will also take part in the event.

Who will it be?

Fans will have to wait until event day to find out.
