World Cup 26 Predictions League — a web app by Omar Samir

How it works

Predict scorelines, bank points, top the table. Here are the rules.

Predicting matches

For every match you predict the final scoreline (e.g. 2-1). You earn the highest tier you reach — tiers do not stack:

  • 6 pts: exact scoreline correct (both scores).
  • 3 pts: correct result (right winner or draw, any scoreline).
  • 0: wrong result.

Boosters

You get 3 boosters for the whole tournament. Switch one on before a match kicks off to multiply everything you earn on that match by 2x. Pick wrong and the booster is wasted, so choose carefully.

When picks lock

Each match locks at its own kick-off. You can add or change a pick any time before then; once a match starts it's frozen. There's no single deadline; predict match-by-match all tournament long.

Until a match kicks off, everyone's picks are hidden. After it locks, all picks for that match are revealed.

Leagues & when scoring starts

The main Global league counts your predictions from launch (Thu, Jun 25, 08:00 PM your time) onward, so everyone starts level. Earlier tournament games don't count, but you can still see them and their results on the Predict page.

You're also automatically entered in two themed side-leagues. They score the same predictions, each over its own window:

  • Knockouts phase: counts only from the Round of 32 onward.
  • Egypt X KO's: a celebration league counting from Egypt's final group game (vs Iran) onward.

Switch between your leagues any time on the leaderboard.

Season bonus picks

Pick these once before the start of the knockout stage. They lock then and are scored at the end of the tournament:

  • 15 pts: correct tournament winner (Champion).
  • 8 pts: correct top scorer (Golden Boot).
  • 6 pts: Golden Glove: the team with the most clean sheets. If teams tie, any of them counts.
  • 10 pts: correct best player (Golden Ball).

Knockout matches

Predict the score excluding penalties(the 90- or 120-minute result). A match settled on penalties counts as the draw it was; the shootout doesn't change your points.

The table

Your total is match points plus bonus points. If two players are level, most exact scorelines ranks higher. If still tied, most correct results breaks it.

Times & joining

All kick-off times show in your own local timezone, so you never have to convert anything.

New players join with an invite link and can start predicting right away. Good luck.
