A Cal-sized pool for the cohort: draft one team from each of six tiers, then rack up points as they win, draw, and survive the knockouts. Fiat Lux — and may the best bracket win.
Draft one national team from each of the six tiers — six picks in all. You bank points every time one of your teams wins or draws. Group-stage results score flat; knockout wins escalate hard, so surviving deep into the bracket is where pools are won.
Picks lock at the opening whistle — Thursday, June 11, 2026, 12:00 PM PT (3:00 PM ET). Get your six in and pay before then. No edits once the tournament kicks off.
One team per tier, six total. Tiers are set by tournament-winner odds — everyone gets one favorite and one prayer.
Everyone who's bought in, and the six teams carrying their hopes.
Live standings, scored from results below. Group wins and draws score flat; knockout wins escalate hard.
A second game — and a second pot — for the knockouts: pick the winner of every match, every day, $1 a pick, even after your drafted teams are out. Most correct by the final whistle takes the winner-takes-all pot. Picks don't move your main total, but they do break ties on the leaderboard. Each day locks at its first kickoff.
