How to Play World Cup Pools

  • Pick the winner of each game. In the Group Stage, you can also pick the game to be a draw. You will get the appropriate points if you correctly pick the winner or if you correctly predict a draw. If you pick a winner and the game ends in a draw, you will not receive any points. In the Second Stage (Round of 16, etc.), you only pick the winner of each game.
    • The pool is played in 5 rounds: the Group Stage, the Round of 16, the Quarterfinals, the Semifinals and the Finals.
    • Each round is picked once the teams are known for each round - you do not pick the entire Second Stage at once (not like March Madness - more like NFL playoffs). We'll open up each Round as soon as the previous Round is completed. You cannot make future round picks until that round has been opened.
  • Choose the Type of Game- we offer 2 ways to score - in both cases the games are worth the following points - For the Group Stage - 1 point each; for the Round of 16 - 6 points each; for the Quarterfinals - 12 points each; for the Semifinals - 24 points each; for the Consolation Game - 12 points; for the Championship Game - 36 points. The two different ways to play are:
    • Custom
      • The Commissioner can adjust the point values for any game (via the Game Picker screen).
    • Bonus
      • For marked games in the Group Stage, picking an underdog to win will earn you 2 points instead of 1.
      • The Commissioner cannot adjust any point values in this type of game.
  • Control Which Games Are In Your Pool
    • Your pool commissioner selects which games you play each week
  • Most points wins!
  • Picks are due depending upon the option your commissioner chose:
    • Default - Picks for Group Stage are due before the first game on Monday, June 16th, 2014 or by the start of a game if it starts before then. Picks for all other rounds are due before the first game of that round.
    • Round Start - Picks for all games are due before the first game of that round.
    • Game Start - Picks are due before a game starts.
