What is this?
It's a bracket challenge for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Pick one of two modes — Pro or Classic— and compete against friends and the world. Make bonus picks for champion, Golden Boot, and Best Player. Leaderboards update live as matches are played.
Two ways to play
Predict the exact scoreof all 104 matches — every group game and every knockout round. You earn more points for getting closer to the real result: full marks for an exact score, partial credit for the right goal difference or correct winner.
Best for: fans who love the detail and want maximum scoring depth.
Rank each group 1st to 4th, pick the 8 best third-place teams, then choose the winner of every knockout match. No exact scores — just pick who advances.
Best for: casual fans, office pools, or anyone who wants a quicker fill.
Pro and Classic are separate competitions with their own leaderboards. Groups are either Pro or Classic — you pick the type when you create one. You can have up to 15 brackets total, mixing both modes however you like.
Note: only Pro brackets are eligible for the Perfect Bracket Challenge grand prize and the secondary prize.
What is MandemDAO?
MandemDAO is a Solana-native team running an automated trading system that watches coordinated on-chain activity from a dynamic set of historically successful wallets — instead of chasing individual traders, the system reads the swarm and executes through an adaptive risk framework built for meme-coin volatility. A public dashboard shows live trades, current positions, and market sentiment indicators.
Beyond the trading system, we ship community products — like this World Cup Bracket Challenge — run things through the community, and route a share of platform fees from everything we build straight back to the people who participate.

Why a World Cup challenge?
Honestly? Because our founders run one every major tournament — on a battered shared Excel sheet, with arguments over tiebreakers and a group chat that turns into chaos every matchday. It's easily one of the highlights of the tournament.
We're football enthusiasts ourselves, so building a real version of that spreadsheet — with proper scoring, live leaderboards, and groups you can run with your own crew — was a no-brainer. Free to enter, open to anyone, and a whole lot easier to use than our Excel sheet ever was.
