World Cup 2026 — Tracker

—

What am I looking at?

Leaderboard — ranks players by the scoring mode chosen at setup.
Teams by player — each player's squad, with the points each team has earned.
Groups — the 12 World Cup group tables, with each team's owner.
Bracket — the knockout rounds, once the group stage ends.
Fixtures & times — the schedule with kickoff times in your timezone.
Odds & stats — each player's live chance of owning the eventual champion, plus fun numbers.

A team row in Teams by player: the number on the right is the points that team has earned you; the small "G" tag is its group (GK = Group K); a struck-through name means it has been knocked out.

Group tables: PLD = played, GD = goal difference, PTS = points. The top two of each group (highlighted) qualify automatically.

Leaderboard: "5/5 in" = how many of your teams are still alive. "0-0-0" = a team's wins-draws-losses.

Scoring modes: Points = goals, wins, clean sheets and knockout bonuses. Survival = how many of your teams are still in. Both = the two added together.

How "Both" picks a winner: one winner only — the player with the highest Points + Survival total combined. A single ranking, not two prizes.

Fixtures: the bar under each match is the win chance — home / draw / away — from team strength, shifting toward the leader once a game is in-play.

Odds & stats: the win bars are your live chance of owning the champion (from bookmaker prices, updating as teams go out). The simulator there estimates your odds of winning on Points, Survival or Both.

📋 Summary: the quick digest at the top of Overview — leaders, teams left, top team and goals. The same digest can be posted to Discord from Settings.

🔔 Get alerts: tap it in the ⋯ menu, pick your name, and turn on alerts for your teams — goals, kick-offs, half-time, knockouts and lead changes. Tick exactly which of those you want. On iPhone you must first add the site to your Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen) and open it from that icon; on a laptop just allow notifications. You can also join the group Discord, where the same alerts post for everyone.

Discord bot: in the group server, type / to pull live data — /leaderboard, /summary, /odds, /fixtures, /myteams, /help. It's read-only; nobody can change the draw from Discord.

The draw — Fair vs Weighted: Fair spreads the strongest teams evenly so everyone gets a balanced mix (within each strength band it's still random, so it's fair but not predictable). Weighted is luck-of-the-draw — a bigger team gives better odds but you might land several strong or several weak ones. On the Reveal page, Run draw on the server does the draw on the server and keeps going even if you close the tab — everyone can watch it live.

Settings — add live scores later

🔒 A draw is locked. Enter the admin key (shown in the server terminal) to change settings.

Paste a football-data.org token to turn on live scores. This does not touch the draw.

On a live-scores plan set refresh = 1 so scores and alerts update every minute (the free plan delays scores, so a higher number is fine there).

Alerts. Two ways to get notified — players switch them on via 🔔 Get alerts in the menu.

• Phone & desktop push — arrives even when the app is closed. On iPhone each person taps Share → Add to Home Screen first. Needs pip install pywebpush on the server, then restart. Status: —

• Discord (group) — paste a channel webhook and every kickoff / goal / knockout / lead change posts there. Most reliable on phones.

• Invite link — paste your Discord server invite. Anyone using the site gets a “Join the group chat” button. To keep randoms out, lock it down in Discord itself (set the invite’s max-uses / expiry, or use “Invite Only”).

• Tracker link — your site address, added as a clickable “Open the tracker” link on every Discord alert.

Discord bot (slash commands). Lets anyone in the server type /leaderboard, /summary, /odds, /fixtures, /myteams to pull live data. Read-only — no admin commands.

Create an app at discord.com/developers → copy the three values below. Then set its Interactions Endpoint URL to:
https://YOUR-SITE/api/discord_interactions

Backup & restore. Download your draw + results so nothing is ever lost — and restore it on this or a fresh server.

Admin key. Generate a new key if the old one leaked. The current key stops working immediately — save the new one.

Fixtures & times

Odds & stats

The number on the right of each team is the points it has earned that player. The G-tag is its group.

Squad strength

Total team rating per player (FIFA ranking + bookmaker odds blend). Higher = stronger squad on paper. ★ = number of tier-1 favourites in that squad.

Points & position over time

How each player's points and league position have moved as matches are played — one line per player. Builds up over the tournament.

Win odds by scoring mode (simulated)

The bars above are your Survival odds (owning the eventual winner). To estimate Points and Both, this runs thousands of full tournaments from team strength and counts how often each player tops that leaderboard. Both = highest Points + Survival combined, so you need a squad that piles up points and goes deep.
