Welcome to RB21 Brackets

Predict the scores, climb the leaderboard, and win the pot. Here's everything you need to know before you start.

1 Two phases, two competitions

The pool runs in two separate phases. Each phase is its own contest — its own pot, its own winners. You can play one or both.

Phase 1 · Group Stage
Classification
📅 Jun 11 → Jun 27, 2026
Predict the exact score of all 72 group-stage matches.
Phase 2 · Knockout
Brackets
📅 Jun 28 → Jul 19, 2026
Predict the knockout bracket — who advances all the way to the final.

We close the competition at the end of each phase and crown that phase's winners before the next one begins.

2 How to make your predictions

Go to the ⚽ My Bets tab and pick a group. You have two ways to fill it in:

✍️
Match by match — type your predicted score into the two boxes for each game (e.g. 2 × 1).
🤖
Auto-Predict by FIFA Ranking — one tap fills every empty match with a sensible score based on the FIFA world ranking. Each player gets their own set, so no two brackets are identical. Review, tweak whatever you want, then save. It never overwrites scores you've already typed.
💾
Save each group with the “Save all predictions in this group” button at the bottom of the list. Your progress bar at the top tracks how many of the 72 you've saved.

Tip: the FIFA world-ranking position is shown under each team's flag to help you judge the matchup.

3 Deadlines & locking

You can submit and edit your predictions until 24 hours before each phase begins. After that, the phase locks and no further changes are accepted.

Phase 1 locks
≈ Jun 10 (24h before kickoff)
Phase 2 locks
≈ Jun 27 (24h before knockouts)

Once a match's official result is entered, that individual prediction is locked automatically.

4 How points are scored

Every match prediction earns points based on how close you were:

15🎯Exact score — right winner and both teams' goals
7✅Right winner + one team's goals correct
4👍Right winner only (wrong scores)
3➕One team's goals correct, but wrong winner
0❌Missed it

Point values are set by the organizer and may be adjusted before a phase starts. Highest total on the leaderboard wins the phase.

🔗 Invite Links
Create a shareable link that lets people self-register for the pool
Active Invite Link

One link works for everyone — share it however you like (email, WhatsApp, etc.). Anyone with the link can create their own account. Rotate it anytime to invalidate the old one.

No active invite link yet.
How it works: Registration is invite-only. Without a valid link, new sign-ups are blocked (you, the admin, can always register). Rotating the link disables the previous one.
🛠 Admin Invite Link (single-use)

Use this to give another person admin access to manage the pool. It's a separate, one-time link: the moment someone registers with it, it stops working. Generate a new one for each admin you add.

No active admin link.
Note: Admins manage the portal only — they don't place bets and don't appear on the leaderboard.
