Registration and Pool Access

Create an account from the Home page and verify your email. No group code is required.

Registration closes before the opening match on June 11, 2026. After the pool is locked, new entries may be restricted by the administrator.

Match Predictions

Predict the final score of every match, for example: Mexico 2-1 South Africa. Each match locks exactly at its official kickoff time. As long as kickoff has not passed, you may edit and save your prediction.

You must press Save after entering or changing a prediction. Unsaved picks score zero points.

Group Stage Ranking

The group stage ranking adds together all points earned in Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3. Those points also count toward the accumulated ranking.

You may use one joker per round. A joker doubles the points earned on that match.

Knockout Stage

The Round of 32 starts with Match 73 and continues through the Final. Knockout teams will be populated after the group stage. The site supports automatic advancement when scores are updated, and the administrator can also set knockout matchups manually if needed.

Knockout predictions lock at the kickoff time of each individual match.

Scoring

If you miss both the result and exact score, you receive zero points for that match.

Bonus Questions

Bonus questions must be answered before the tournament begins. Bonus points are added only to the Bonus Questions ranking and the Accumulated Ranking.

The bracket simulator awards points for exact group order and for correctly predicting teams that reach each knockout stage. Group standings are scored from the final table position, using points, goal difference, then goals for. Third-place qualifier selection is required to build the bracket path, but it does not score points by itself.

Player Pick Visibility

You can see other players' picks only after the corresponding match has started. Future picks remain hidden to protect the integrity of the pool.

Postponed or Rescheduled Matches

If a match is postponed, the administrator may decide whether it counts for that round ranking. In general, once the match is played, its points will count toward the accumulated ranking.

Winners and Tiebreakers

Prize categories are TBD and may include round winners, knockout-stage winner, bonus winner, and accumulated ranking winners.

If players tie in a prize category, the corresponding prize may be split equally among tied players unless the administrator announces a different tiebreaker before the tournament begins.

Payment and Prizes

Entry fee, payment method, prize pool, and prize distribution are TBD. The administrator will publish final payment and prize details before the tournament starts.
