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.

When the league starts

The championship counts from England vs Croatia (Wed, Jun 17, 08:00 PM your time). Matches before that don't count, so everyone starts level.

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.
