Tournament Rules
The SURVIVOR-1 Tournament follows a very simple single-elimination tournament structure:
 * 16 Competitors
 * Round of 16, Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Final match
 * Winners continue to the next round, Losers are eliminated, Draws result in both wrestlers elimination and their scheduled opponent receives a bye
 * Night 1 completes the 8 matches of the first round

Match Rules
Each match in the tournament follows the established one-on-one match rules held in the NMWGP ring
 * 15 minute time limit
 * Victories by Pinfall, Submission, Knock-out, Count-out or Disqualification
 * The match will continue if a wrestler is bloodied
 * Count-outs reach a 20 count before a loss
 * Low-blows and Closed fist punches are legalised
 * Wrestlers can escape a pinfall or submission by ropebreak

Season One
This SURVIVOR-1 tournament was the first NMWGP Tournament and therefore rather than the winner being given a NMWGP title shot, they were declared the inaugural NMWGP champion while a 3rd place match would decide the number one contender for a title shot at NMWGP's GROUP Tournament event.
 * BULL became the inaugural NMWGP champion at this event
 * BULL defeated D'Lo in the final match
 * Edge defeated Saturn in the 3rd place match to become the first number one contender to the NMWGP title
 * Jericho was the first person to enter a NMWGP ring in his first round match vs BULL
 * Edge defeated Matt in the round of 16 in the longest match of the tournament in 12:08
 * While Edge also had the shortest match when he defeated an exhausted Saturn in the 3rd place match in 2:07
 * As this was the first NMWGP event, 16 wrestlers made their debut: Jericho, BULL, Bubba Ray Dudley, Hardcore Holly, Edge, Matt Hardy, Al Snow, Ken Shamrock, Essa Rios, Saturn, Malenko, Chyna, Devon Dudley, Val Venis, Tazz & D'Lo Brown

Season Two
Season Two kicked off as with all NMWGP seasons with the NWMGP SURVIVOR-1 Tournament.
 * BULL defeated Shamrock in the SURVIVOR-1 Tournament final, winning this event two seasons in a row
