Tournamental: we game-ify the tournament
Tournamental is a live competition platform built for the FIFA World Cup 2026: pick all 104 matches across 48 teams, watch live group standings, compete in syndicates, and climb a global leaderboard, with every pick committed to a blockchain ledger before kickoff so any claim to glory is provable. Free to play, mobile-first, open core (Apache 2.0).
Nobody will correctly predict all 104 matches: the odds are astronomical. Tournamental is the global predictions ledger looking for whoever gets the most right. Players fill a full tournament bracket with drag-rank tiebreakers and a 3D visualisation of their picks, then follow live group standings as real results land.
Syndicates let mates, workplaces and clubs compete as teams inside the global game. That is the mechanic that makes it spread.
A tournament platform earns its keep in the four weeks when everything must work at once. This is the production machinery behind the 2026 season:
Live scoring
A results poller checked scores every minute through the tournament and pushed them into standings, brackets and leaderboards the moment matches ended.
Provable picks
Every prediction commits to a blockchain ledger before kickoff - 3,246 claims in the 2026 season - so no one can quietly edit a bracket after the fact.
Passwordless entry
SMS one-time-code sign-in through our own messaging gateway. No passwords, no friction at the moment someone decides to play.
A Telegram companion
A tournament bot kept syndicates talking where they already were, with picks and standings in the chat.
Odds and admin
An odds-ingest service and a full admin console ran the operation - fixtures, results, users and content - through the whole event.
Points, streaks, leaderboards, live scoring and group competition are a reusable engine, not a one-off. The same mechanics that ranked 163 World Cup brackets can rank a sales team, a fitness challenge, a loyalty programme or a trade-promotion competition.
It is also proof of operational depth: this entire multi-service stack was restored onto new infrastructure from a failed server, data integrity verified line by line: 208 users and every result intact.
