Two questions:

1) Is post season play allowed in the Survivor Pool?

 

2) I prefer league members to be able to continue playing regardless of number of losses. I set lives to the max of 3 and buy backs to $0. Will this allow players to "buy back" and continue playing without impacting the prize pool ammounts?

 Yes, the surivior pool will continue through the post season if there are remaining survivors.

You should be able to achieve this. After they lose 3 lives, you could change their status from 'Out of Lives' back to 'Active'. Their losses will still show up. You would have to do this for each week they lose after they have 3 losses. Note that if eventually a week occurs where all but this player remains, they will show up as the winner of the league. If this occurs you could change them back to 'Out of Lives' and the Standings would reflect the true winner.

If you have buybacks set to $0, the prize pool amount will be solely based on the number of players who were active after week 1 times the player cost, so in the case you described it would not change.
