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.

World Cup bracket pool, open to anyone who wants in

Hey everyone, this isn't a fantasy league, it's an open World Cup bracket pool (pick'em style), and anyone here can join. No buy-in, just bragging rights.

Join here: open World Cup pool

How it works:

  • Group stage: predict the final standings for all 12 groups. Points for correct placements, plus a bonus for nailing a whole group.
  • Knockout bracket: Round of 32 to the Final, scored per round with later rounds worth more.
  • Combined leaderboard: group and knockout points stack into one standings.

If you'd rather run your own with your group, you can create one (free for up to 10 people): playoffpickems.com/fifa-world-cup. You choose how it runs: autofill off (predict the groups, then fill the real Round of 32 once it's set) or autofill on (predict everything upfront and the bracket builds from your group picks, with lenient scoring so a bad group doesn't kill it).

Group stage locks when the first match kicks off June 11. Good luck.
