The biggest tournament on Earth starts in
Simple, fair, and easy to follow. Every player gets 3 randomly assigned teams and tracks points through the whole tournament.
The payment method depends on your host — Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, cash, or whatever the organizer chooses. First 16 paid players are locked in for the tournament.
We will do a random draw to assign each player one team from each tier. Once the draw is complete, your 3-team roster is locked in for the tournament.
Win = 3 · Draw = 1 · Shutout = +1 bonus. Same scoring through the whole tournament.

All 48 qualified teams are divided into three tiers by approximate FIFA ranking strength. Each player will be assigned one team from each tier through a random draw — giving everyone a heavyweight, a wild card, and a long-shot.
Simple rules for a friendly World Cup pool. The organizer can edit the details for their own group.
Each player pays a $100 buy-in and receives 3 World Cup teams: one team from each tier. Your teams earn points throughout the tournament, and your total score is the combined score from all 3 teams.

This template is built for 16 total players. The first 16 paid players are locked in. If the pool fills up, the organizer may start a waitlist.

The organizer can update the live leaderboard or share a simple spreadsheet with everyone. Standings should be updated after games so players can follow the pool easily.
Use a simple tiebreaker before the pool starts. Recommended order: most total wins, then best goal difference, then a final organizer-approved tiebreaker such as a coin flip.
