How it works

Four steps from sign-up to final whistle.

  1. 01

    Create an account, then a pool

    Create a private pool with a password, then share the pool code with your friends. Or join one they made. You can be in as many pools as you want — picks are independent in each.

What you get

Built for pools that actually finish.

Public or password-locked

Public pools are open to anyone; private pools need a pool code + password to join. Up to 500 members per pool.

Multiple admins

Promote anyone to admin. They can kick disruptive members and manage pool settings. The original creator can't be removed.

Picks lock at kickoff

Once the first match of the tournament starts, every pool's picks freeze. Enforced server-side so nobody can sneak edits in.

One pick set per pool

Members each get exactly one set of picks per pool — but you can be in as many pools as you want with different predictions in each.

Live data, no manual entry

Match scores, group standings, and bracket results are pulled live from a paid sports feed. Your leaderboard recomputes automatically as games end.

Real flags, real teams

All 48 nations show up with the right flag and group from day one. No spreadsheet maintenance — fixtures sync from the live feed.
