The World Test Championship is the only competition in cricket that runs for two years — Tests across Australia, England, India, the Caribbean and beyond, all feeding one points table. Stop trying to track it in a notes app. The Tipoff handles every Test automatically, so your group keeps going from the first ball of the cycle to the Final at The Oval.

A WhatsApp thread can just about handle one Ashes series. It falls apart by the third bilateral series of the cycle. The World Test Championship runs 27 series and around 71 Tests across two years — Australia to England to India to the Caribbean and back. The Tipoff was built for exactly this: a competition long enough that nobody should still be updating a spreadsheet by hand in year two.
A Test runs for up to five days. The Match Wall stays open for the whole thing — not just the first session. Follow the game live with everyone else who tipped it, react as wickets fall and the game swings session by session, and watch the leaderboard shift as each Test is settled. Not a generic feed. Your group, your picks, your Test.
The WTC cycle runs two years. Every feature in The Tipoff is designed to keep your group engaged from the first Test of the cycle to the Final at The Oval.
Every group runs on a private leaderboard — but every tipper also earns a rank on the global leaderboard alongside Test cricket fans from all 9 competing nations. Your group's champion might be one of the best WTC tippers on the planet. Now you'll know.
“You beat everyone in your group. Now find out if you're one of the best Test cricket tippers in the world.”

“I've tried to run an Ashes sweepstake on a spreadsheet before — it survives about two Tests before someone forgets to update it. Switched to The Tipoff for the full WTC cycle and it just runs itself. Results settle automatically, draws are handled properly instead of being a headache, and I actually watch the cricket instead of updating formulas.”
Plenty of “free” cricket prediction games are run by betting companies — signing up requires a registered gambling account with identity verification, and odds are baked into the experience. The Tipoff has no connection to any gambling operator, sportsbook, or bookmaker. No gambling account needed. No ID check. Just sign up with Google.
Every “free” prediction game you've seen has a bookmaker behind it somewhere. This one doesn't.
27 series. Around 71 Tests. One leaderboard that runs itself for the whole two-year cycle.
Stop settling for a WhatsApp thread that dies by the second series — give your group a proper competition and find out once and for all who actually knows Test cricket.
