World Cup 2026 pool
How the pool works.
Free pool, real prizes, one leaderboard. Your picks score automatically as the real tournament plays out. This page is the whole game in plain words, so you never have to ask in Discord again (you still can, we like you).
The short version
- You picked once, before the tournament. Easy is five quick picks. Pro is the whole bracket.
- Those picks turn into points on their own as matches finish. Nothing to maintain.
- One leaderboard ranks everyone, Easy and Pro together, out of the same 160 points.
- Top 10 get paid at the end, with side prizes along the way.
Your picks, decoded
Both modes score the same big stuff:
Easy adds:
Pro adds:
Picks score on rounds reached, not exact matchups. If you sent Brazil to the semis, you get paid when Brazil reaches the semis, whoever they beat on the way.
What locked at kickoff, and what didn't
Your bracket and all entry picks (champion, final score, Golden Boot, dark horse, the lot) locked when the opening match kicked off on June 11. No edits, no swaps, injuries included. That part is done.
From here the tournament does the work. Your points land automatically after each round is graded, so the board keeps reshuffling for the whole month as champions stumble and dark horses run. Locked picks, moving table.
The prizes
- Season top 10: 1st takes $150 plus 6 months of Corgi Pass, 2nd $75 plus 3 months, 3rd $50 plus 1 month, 4th through 10th two weeks each.
- Perfect bracket, $2,222: Pro only. Every group, every third, every knockout call right. No one in any major pool has ever hit one. Could be you.
- Perfect group stage, $222: first entry to nail all twelve groups.
- Bonus raffle, $100 plus a free month: drawn at the end. Entries come from the share tasks below.
- New to Corgi: a free week of the real thing, claimable on your results page.
- The $1,000 Yeet comp: a separate game that runs in Discord. Bet the World Cup on Yeet through our link, post your slip, and the best parlay that lands each round takes $100 ($200 for the semis and final). $5 minimum, 18+ where available.
The raffle
The share tasks on your results page (post your bracket, follow @CorgiCalls and @corgil, like and retweet) earn raffle entries for the $100 + free month draw. Entries, not leaderboard points. Friends who enter through your share count too. Social stuff stays out of the scoring on purpose, so nobody tweets their way up the board.
Your results page
It's the page you landed on after locking in your picks: corgicalls.com/worldcup/me/your-handle. Your picks, your projected score, how your calls compare with the rest of the field, the raffle tasks, and the share button. Bookmark it.
House rules
- One entry per person. Accidentally made two, say one with email and one with Discord? Ping a mod in Discord and we'll remove the spare. Happens all the time, nobody thinks you're cheating.
- Entered with email, then signed in with Discord later? Those merge into one entry on their own.
- Points update shortly after each round is graded, not live during matches.
- Ties break on bracket detail, not coin flips.
