Pick the outcome of every World Cup game across two stages. The group stage uses a confidence point pool — you assign a unique point value to each game, betting more on the outcomes you're most confident about. The knockout stage awards fixed points per round, increasing as the tournament progresses.
All picks are based on the final result of the game — not 90-minute score. Knockout games that go to extra time or penalties count as a win for whoever advances.
For each group stage game, pick one of three outcomes. A draw means the game ends level — it's a real, scoreable result in group stage.
There are 72 group stage games. You get a pool of 72 point values — two of each number from 1 to 36:
Assign one point value to each game before it kicks off. Use each value wisely — once you've used a value twice, it's gone.
✅ Correct pick → you earn those points.
❌ Wrong pick → 0 points. The point value is still consumed.
Each game locks at kickoff — you can change your pick or point assignment right up until the whistle blows.
If a game kicks off without a pick, you receive:
Change your default anytime in your profile — it only affects future unlocked games.
⚠️ All 72 point values must be used by end of group stage. If games remain unassigned, the lowest remaining values are consumed automatically.
No draws in knockout — one team advances. Pick whoever you think goes through, regardless of whether it takes 90 minutes, extra time, or a penalty shootout.
