Quick guide
Create a 2026 World Cup pool in 60 seconds
Don't spend Saturday wrangling a spreadsheet. Here is how to launch your World Cup pool — free to start, no friction inviting friends.
Step 1 — Create your account
Visit appbolify.com and click "Sign up". One-click Google or email + password. No credit card up front.
Step 2 — Create the pool
From the lobby, click "New pool". Name it, pick "2026 World Cup" as the tournament, and customize:
- Prizes: set values for top 3 (optional)
- Champion pick: enable so each player picks the winner upfront for bonus points
Scoring and deadlines are standardized: exact score = 25 pts, correct winner = 10 pts (other categories derived), and picks lock 10 minutes before kickoff. Same rules across every pool — fair, comparable leaderboards.
Step 3 — Invite friends
Click "Invite" in the pool header. You get a short link + QR code (great for offices and watch parties). Friends pick first, sign up second.
Step 4 — Follow the live leaderboard
Once matches start, the leaderboard updates in real time. Push notifications fire when someone overtakes you — friendly trash-talk built in.
