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 - 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.
