The Men's World Cup Knockout Stage pool is a free bracket pick'em pool based on the world's most popular sporting event.

We also offer the Group 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. Knockout Stage leagues will be available soon after the Group Stage matches have started.

In the Knockout Stage pool, players can pick 1 round at a time or the whole bracket before the matches begin. Playing 1 round at a time creates a more strategic, engaging game for sports fans.

When picking 1 round at a time, leagues have the choice of letting players pick any team after the 1st round, or limiting player's picks to one of the winning teams they picked in the previous round.

Picking the whole bracket before the pool begins is the more traditional game and works great for leagues and organizations with more casual members.

Other league options include awarding more points to the underdogs and increasing the points for each successive round.

All our pools feature easy league hosting setup for the commish and great league scoring options to customize the pool to your preference.
