Frequently asked questions
Can I join mid-tournament if I miss the group stage?
Yes. Joining after the group stage starts means group stage standings picks are locked (the answers are already known), but all remaining match calls and open tournament picks are still available. You compete from where you join.
How many people can join a group?
As many as you like. BragBracket works for a group of 5 friends and a group of 50 colleagues equally well.
Who scores the matches — do we do it manually?
BragBracket automatically ingests results from football-data.org. Your organizer can also enter results manually if a score takes time to appear.
Is it really free?
Yes. The full World Cup prediction experience is completely free. No hidden costs, no gambling, no payouts.
Can we follow specific teams only?
Yes. Group organizers can set a "Teams to follow" filter so only matches involving specific nations appear on the Matches tab. You can also choose which phases the filter applies to — group stage only, all phases, or custom knockout rounds. Useful if your group cares about England, Brazil, or Portugal rather than all 48 teams.
