FIFA World Cup Pool, Pick’em, and Bracket Pool in One Place

OfficePoolStop combines the best parts of a World Cup Pick’em pool and a World Cup bracket pool. Players make group stage predictions, fill out knockout round picks, and compete on live standings as the tournament unfolds.

World Cup Pool Pick Sheets

Players can make group stage picks by selecting the teams they expect to finish first and second in each group. Picks can be changed before the deadline, and players can return later to finish partial picks.

The knockout round bracket lets players pick which teams advance through the tournament. As results are entered, the pool standings update based on your league’s scoring settings.

Custom World Cup Pool Scoring

OfficePoolStop gives managers flexible scoring options for both the group stage and knockout rounds. You can keep the pool simple for casual fans or use bonus scoring for groups that want more strategy.

Exact Group Finish Scoring

Players earn points when they correctly pick a team in the exact group position. For example, if a player picks a team to finish 1st, that team must actually finish 1st to earn the group winner points.

Advancing Teams + Exact Order Bonus

Players earn points for correctly picking teams that advance from the group, even if the order is wrong. Managers can also award bonus points when the exact 1st or 2nd place finish is correct.

Knockout Round Scoring

Managers can assign point values for each knockout round, including the Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Third Place Match, and Championship / Final. This allows later rounds to become more valuable and keeps the tournament exciting all the way to the end.

Why Use a World Cup Pool?

A World Cup pool is a great way to make the tournament more fun for your group. Casual fans can join in, experienced soccer fans can show off their knowledge, and everyone has a reason to follow each match more closely.
