The most popular sporting event on the planet, the World Cup!Its been four long years since the last World Cup, and the biggest pool in MyOfficePool.ca history. That pool is back and ready for World Cup 2010.
In this pool, you don't pick the entire World Cup tournament before the start. First pick the teams to advance from the Group Stage, then check back each round to make your next picks. It keeps the pool active, and you're (almost) never out of it.
The deadline to enter is prior to kickoff of the opening game, Friday June 11th, 2010 at 10:00am Eastern. You can edit your picks up until the deadline, so don't delay - get in the pool today!
You have two main options for your pool pleasure:
| Create Your Own Pool Group New | Join the MOP $20 Group | |
1. Join the overall pool (free) 2. Create a pool group (free) 3. Invite your friends (no limit) |
~ OR ~ | 1. Join MOP group, $20 per entry 2. Submit payment online 3. Prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd |
| After you join the overall pool, then you can create your own
pool group. Once your pool group is created,
invite your friends and family to play, so you can compete against people you know. Small group? Large group? No problem, there is no limit, and there is no cost for this service. |
Are you just looking for a $20 entry fee pool like you're used to finding at MyOfficePool.ca?
Join the MOP $20 group. You are automatically invited to it when you join the overall pool. Pay the $20 entry and we'll see who ends up on top and with the cash at the end. Prizes are for 1st (55%), 2nd (27.5%) and 3rd (12.5%) paid out at the conclusion of the World Cup. |
Deadline Passed
We're sorry, but this pool has already started and we cannot accept any more entries at this time.
Rules Summary

2. After the Group Stage is decided, return to the website to pick the teams you expect to advance
from the Round of 16 to the Quarter-Finals.
3. After the Round of 16 is decided, return to the website to complete the same steps for the
Quarter-Finals. Then after the Quarters, return a final time to pick the winners of the Semi-Finals
and Final. The Semi-Finals and Final are picked at the same time.
4. You will earn points each round of the tournament for selecting the correct teams to advance.
Points are awarded according to the following table:
|
Group Stage Alternate Points: If the team you pick to finish 1st in its Group actually finishes 2nd, then you score 1 point for correctly predicting that team to advance to the Round of 16. Similarly, if the team you pick to finish 2nd in its Group actually finishes 1st, then you score 1 point. To clarify, if you have both correct teams advancing to the Round of 16 from a group, but in the wrong order, then you score 2 points instead of the maximum 5 available. | |||||||||||||||||
5. Contestants will be ranked after each stage of the World Cup based on total points from highest to lowest.
