The Men's World Cup Group Stage pool is a free pick'em office pool based on the world's most popular sporting event. Pick who you think will win each of the 48 group stage matches.
We also offer the
Knockout Stage pool as a separate pool. If you play both pools, you're points for both pools can be combined. Group Stage leagues and league players' points can be carried over to continue league play in the Knockout Stage pool.
Basic scoring: you get 10 points if your pick wins and 4 points if your pick draws. This generally corresponds to the actual points awarded to group stage teams competing to advance to the knockout stage, which is 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.
When the Underdog option is used, points will vary from this scheme to balance the value of each pick. Underdogs get more points and favorites less points. Underdogs and favorites points are based on each match's moneyline.
All our pools feature easy league hosting setup for the commish and exceptional league scoring options to customize the pool to your preference.
