Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about BragBracket™.
Getting started
Do I need an account?
No. You can join and play as a guest using just a display name. Creating an account lets you keep your history across devices and groups.
How do I join a group?
Tap the invite link you received, enter a display name, and join. You'll land on the Matches tab ready to make your first call. To create your own group, sign in and tap Get started.
Can I be in multiple groups?
Yes. You can join any group you've been invited to, and you can organise as many groups as you like. Switch between them from the home screen.
Predictions & scoring
How is scoring calculated?
Match Calls: exact score = 3 pts, correct result = 1 pt. Cup final Calls: exact = 5 pts, correct result = 2 pts. Tournament picks: champion 20, runner-up 12, semi 6 each, and more. See the Playbook for the full points table.
My prediction is wrong — can I change it?
Yes, you can update your prediction any time before kickoff. Once the match kicks off, predictions are locked.
What are Tournament Picks?
Tournament picks are extra predictions beyond match scores — champion, semi-finalists, first scorer in the final, and more. Your group organiser decides which picks are enabled.
Can I predict the group stage standings?
Yes — if your group organiser has enabled group stage standings picks, you'll see a drag-to-order interface on the Picks tab before the first group match.
What happens if the match is postponed?
Postponed matches keep predictions locked until the new kickoff time. If a match is cancelled, predictions are refunded (0 points for all).
Group & privacy
Who can see my group?
Only members who joined via the invite link. Your group is completely private — no public feed, no strangers.
Can the organiser see my predictions before the match?
That depends on the group's visibility setting, which applies equally to everyone — including the organiser. Predictions may be visible before kickoff, after kickoff, or only after the result.
What happens when the competition ends?
The leaderboard locks, the winner is announced, and you can share your final position. The group archive stays visible.
Features & competitions
What competitions are supported?
Football competitions from around the world, including the World Cup, Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, Brasileirão, and more.
Can I run this for my company or team?
Yes. BragBracket™ works great for office competitions and company events. Contact us at hello@bragbracket.com to discuss a private group for your organisation.
Is it free?
Yes. The core experience — invite, predict, compete, brag — is completely free.
Can I play for money?
No. BragBracket™ does not support real-money stakes, betting, or payouts of any kind.
Results & organizers
What if a match result is wrong?
Group organisers can manually enter or correct results. Points are recalculated automatically.
