🚀 Dynamic Prize Pool — The Multiplier Effect

This year we are running a Dynamic Payout System. The total cash pot grows by $10 with every single entry โ€” the more people who join, the bigger everyone's potential payday.

The prize structure automatically upgrades when we hit 30 entrants:

Level 1 — Under 30 Entrants
Top-2 Split
🥇 1st Place70%
🥈 2nd Place30%
🥉 3rd Placeโ€”
Level 2 — 30+ Entrants ⭐
Ultimate 3-Tier Split
🥇 1st Place60%
🥈 2nd Place25%
🥉 3rd Place15%
💰 Example Scenario — 50 Entrants
If 50 people enter, the total pot is $500. Here's how it pays out:

🧠 The New Dynamic Bracket — No More Blind Picking!

This is the biggest upgrade to the pool this year. You no longer have to guess knockout matchups blindly.

⚡ How It Works
Once you lock in 1st and 2nd place for Groups A through L, those exact teams automatically advance and populate their official FIFA 2026 Round of 32 crossover slots. Pick the winner of each match and they cascade forward into the Round of 16, then Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, and all the way to the Final.
🛡️ Cascade Protection
Changed your mind on a group pick after completing your bracket? No problem. The app will safely flag affected downstream matches with an orange pulsing border so you can see exactly which knockout picks need updating — without losing your entire bracket.
⚠️ Orange border = pick needs updating
