DTA - US Soccer Supporters PMA World Cup Tickets
I keep seeing people posting about how they are frustrated that scalpers are grabbing tickets and selling them at high prices. And we all complain that it’s FIFA’s fault that real fans are being shut out. And then I find this….
I built a web app for running World Cup bracket pools with friends. Looking for feedback before the tournament starts.
Hey everyone,
I built a bracket pool web app (Playoff Pick'Ems) that started with NFL Playoffs, expanded to March Madness, and now supports the FIFA World Cup.
I've been running bracket pools for a while and kept dealing with the same stuff. Collecting picks over group chats and emails, updating a spreadsheet after every game, fixing brackets when someone enters the wrong matchup. So I built an app to handle it.
For the World Cup it supports both stages:
- Group stage: predict final standings for all 12 groups, earn points for correct placements + an optional bonus for getting the whole group right
- Knockout bracket: Round of 32 through the Final, custom scoring per round
- Combined standings: group + knockout points add up into one leaderboard
The group predictions and bracket are separate. Your group picks don't cascade into the knockout bracket. You fill those out independently, so if you bomb the group stage you can still come back in the knockout round.
I'm still working on things and would love feedback if anyone wants to poke around: playoffpickems.com/fifa-world-cup
If you want to see how it works without setting anything up, here's an open pool you can join and explore: Open demo pool
Happy to answer any questions. If there's a feature you'd like to see implemented, please let me know.
