Euro 2024 Soccer Pools: Pick’em and Bracket Options

June 9, 2024 by hpadmin

HostedPools is back with this summer’s European Championship: Euro2024.  Both of our pool options from previous UEFA and FIFA events have returned for this tournament.

Pick’em Euro 2024 Pool

Each round of the tournament schedule, you pick the winners (or a draw in the Group Stage) for each game.  You can choose to have each game be worth 1 point, or have escalating points through the knock out rounds, so correct picks are worth more, as you go deeper in the tournament.  The entry with the most points after the championship game is the winner. You can also set up your Pick’em pool for only the knock out rounds.

Bracket Euro 2024 Pool

Pick the entire knockout round bracket prior to the first game of the Round of 16.  For each correct pick, you earn points, with correct picks in later rounds being more valuable.  The entry with the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner.  If multiple teams are tied, you may split the pot. You may also use a tiebreaker to determine the ultimate winner.

Pricing

You can use our pricing tool to see how much a running a Euro 2024 pool with us will be.  Keep in mind all of our prices are in CAD.

Some of our pool managers have reached out about having the Copa America available as well, now that more CONCACAF teams are being included. Unfortunately, we are unable to make it happen for 2024, but we will work on having multiple seasons of a sport open at one time so that we can run it next cycle.

2022 FIFA World Cup Pools

June 16, 2022 by hpadmin

HostedPools debuted a pair of soccer pool options for last summer’s European Championship and things went reasonably well, and it was far more popular than we had imagined. We look forward to bigger and better things as teams from every continent (not you, Antarctica) compete for world soccer glory this November and December in Qatar.

We have the same World Cup office pool formats as we did for Euro’s. Set up your pool and invite your friends!

Pick’em World Cup Pool

Each round of the tournament schedule, you pick the winners (or a draw in the Group Stage) for each game.  You can choose to have each game be worth 1 point, or have escalating points through the knock out rounds, so correct picks are worth more, as you go deeper in the tournament.  The entry with the most points after the championship game is the winner. You can also set up your Pick’em pool for only the knock out rounds.

2022 World Cup Pools are now available! You can set yours up today. We’re also still hoping to be able to add pick’ems for the Premiership and/or Champions League at some point in the future.

Euro 2020 Soccer Pools

March 7, 2021 by hpadmin

HostedPools is adding a pair of soccer pool options to use for the major tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup and the European Championship beginning with this summer’s Euro 2020 (which was postponed from last year).  A number of people have reached out to us over the time we’ve been running the site asking for pools for these types of events, and we’re finally making it happen. I guess there are some positives to being cooped up with not much to do.

Pick’em Euro 2020 Pool

Each round of the tournament schedule, you pick the winners (or a draw in the Group Stage) for each game.  You can choose to have each game be worth 1 point, or have escalating points through the knock out rounds, so correct picks are worth more, as you go deeper in the tournament.  The entry with the most points after the championship game is the winner. You can also set up your Pick’em pool for only the knock out rounds.

Euro 2020 pools will be available by early April of 2021 and we will also be available for the 2022 FIFA World up next fall. We’re also hoping to be able to add league pick’ems for the Premiership and possibly Bundesliga in the near future as well.

Playoff Football Pools – New for 2016!

December 28, 2016 by hpadmin

Due to a number of requests, HostedPools has added a pair of popular playoff football pool options for the 2016 NFL playoffs.  We have been running pools of these types off-site for a number of years, and finally were able to add them to the site, thanks to some of the background changes made last off-season.  Both formats will be available 2 weeks prior to the NFL playoffs each season, although picks won’t be available until all 12 playoff teams have been seeded.

Survivor Playoff Football Pool

Each week of the NFL playoff schedule, you pick a team to win their game.  You may only pick a team one time for the duration of the playoff tournament.  If they win their game, you move on.  If they lose, or you run out of teams available to select, you’re eliminated.  The last entry remaining is the winner.  If multiple teams survive through the final, split the prize pool between them.

Bracket/Pick’Em Playoff Football Pool

Pick the entire playoff tournament bracket (remembering to reseed the teams for the Divisional round) prior to the first game.  For each correct pick, you earn points, with correct picks in later rounds being more valuable.  The entry with the most points at the end of the playoffs is the winner.  If multiple teams are tied, you may split the pot.  You may also use a tiebreaker to determine the ultimate winner.

More Information/Create Pool

Pricing

Playoff football pools will start at the same base price as regular season pools, but you’ll be able to have twice as many entries included, with the first tier being up to 50 entries.  If you managed a regular season football pool in the same season, you may be eligible for further discounts on your playoff pool.  Contact us for details.

Note: We’re also planning on adding similar playoff hockey options for the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs.
