The World Cup Is Two Weeks Away. Your Tipping Competition Isn't Set Up Yet.

The group chat is already going. Someone's declared Brazil to win the whole thing. Your office mate keeps forwarding tactical breakdowns nobody asked for. Match day parties are being planned. And your tipping competition still doesn't exist.

The FIFA World Cup kicks off June 12. That's less than two weeks. The group stage — 48 matches packed into the first three weeks — is the loudest, most chaotic, most fun part of the whole tournament. Miss the setup and you miss the best bit.

Why You Haven't Done It Yet (And Why That Excuse Is Gone)

Let's be honest. It's not that you don't want to run one. It's one of these:

• It sounds complicated. It's not. The Tipoff was built so non-technical people can have a full tipping competition running before their morning coffee goes cold.

• You'd need to chase everyone for their picks. You don't. Share one link. Everyone joins. Everyone tips. You never send a single reminder.

• You're not sure which platform to use. You've found it.

Two Minutes. That's Literally All It Takes.

Here's the complete setup process:

1. Go to thetipoff.app/world-cup and create your free league. No credit card. No subscription. No catch.

2. Copy the invite link and drop it in your group chat, Slack channel, or team. Everyone who clicks it can start tipping immediately.

3. Your group tips before each match directly from their phones. The leaderboard updates live after every result. No input needed from you.

That's the whole process. Set up your World Cup tipping competition now and you can be running before lunch.

What Happens Once You're Set Up

Every match, The Tipoff does the heavy lifting. Results come in automatically. The leaderboard adjusts as soon as matches are settled. You don't touch a spreadsheet. You don't do manual calculations. You don't settle disputes — the data does it for you.

What you DO get: office conversations with actual stakes. Colleagues suddenly invested in games they'd normally scroll past. A reason to check in every day for 64 days. And when it's all over, one very smug winner with receipts.

Works for Offices, Friend Groups — Anyone

Whether you're the office social coordinator who always runs the office sweep, the group chat captain who's been saying they'll "sort something out" for weeks, or someone who just wants bragging rights in the family WhatsApp — this is built for you.

Groups as small as four people or as large as you want. Everyone tips from their own phone. No team accounts, no complicated sign-up, no maintenance.

It's Free

No credit card. No trial period. No premium features locked away. The Tipoff is free for individuals, offices, and friend groups. The only thing it costs is two minutes of your time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I run a World Cup pool at work without using Excel?

What is the best app for a World Cup tipping competition?

The Tipoff was built specifically for this. It supports all 104 World Cup 2026 matches, updates results automatically, and runs live leaderboards that work on any device. It's free, it takes two minutes to set up, and you don't need any technical knowledge to run it.

Is it hard to set up a World Cup pool last minute?

Not with The Tipoff. Setup takes less than two minutes. The tournament kicks off June 12 — you have time. Even if you set it up the night before, your group can still tip every single match from game one.

Can people join from different cities or countries?

Yes. Anyone with your invite link can join from anywhere. It works on mobile and desktop. It doesn't matter if your group is spread across multiple cities, states, or time zones.

Yes. The Tipoff handles groups from four friends to two hundred colleagues. Everyone gets the same live leaderboard, same match wall, same experience.

Stop Waiting. The Tournament Starts June 12.

The group stage — 48 matches in three weeks — is the most competitive, most unpredictable, most talked-about stretch of the whole World Cup. It's where the upsets happen. Where the group of death eats its first victim. Where the underdog runs the table.

You want a tipping competition running from day one. Not from the knockouts. Not from the semis. Day one.
