Run your World Cup Quiniela / bracket pool without the spreadsheet
Hey everyone,
I built a web app for running World Cup quinielas (bracket pools) and wanted to share it here.
Running a quiniela always comes down to the same stuff: collecting picks over WhatsApp/emails, updating a spreadsheet after every match, fixing entries when someone puts in the wrong matchup. So I built an app to handle it.
What it does for the World Cup:
- Group stage: predict the final standings for all 12 groups, points for correct placements plus an optional bonus for getting a whole group right
- Knockout bracket: Round of 32 through the Final, custom scoring per round
- Pick the format: predict the groups first and fill the bracket once the matchups are set, or predict everything upfront and let the bracket build from your group picks
- Combined standings: group plus knockout points add up into one leaderboard
You can set up your own in a couple of minutes and share one link with your group. Free for up to 10 people: playoffpickems.com/fifa-world-cup
If you want to see how it works without setting anything up, here's an open pool you can join and explore: Open pool
Entries locks at the first match on June 11.
Happy to answer any questions. If there's a feature you'd like to see implemented, please let me know.
