Features
2026 World Cup Champion Predictor Logbook is a free in-browser 'pick the winner / semi-finalists / Golden Boot' prediction archive + scoring comparison tool, built for football fans, sports bettors, corporate office World Cup prediction pools, sports-bar watch-night prediction votes, and football social-media influencers who want to log every prediction episode. No app install, no registration, 100% local runtime. Create up to 5 prediction snapshots (pre-group-stage / post-group adjustments / every KO round), fill each with Champion, Runner-up, 3rd, 4th, Full SF 4, Full QF 8, Golden Boot, Golden Ball, Golden Glove, Biggest Dark Horse, Highest-scoring team, Fewest goals conceded, and Biggest group-stage upset. The tool auto-generates a tamper-proof prediction HASH (no post-hoc cheating), shareable QR short-link, and post-tournament 'actual vs predicted' hit score (Champion 30 pts, Runner-up 20, each SF 10, Golden Boot 10, perfect 12/12 bonus +20). Solves the classic WC problems: 'Who DID I actually say would win back in June?', 'Who in our company pool actually got it right?', and 'Am I gonna get called out as a football influencer for editing my predictions after kick-off?'
When You Need This
Common pain points this tool solves
- 80-person office pool at a Tencent product dept in Shenzhen: Admin Monica generates a unified office-pool template QR, 80 staff scan, submit, each auto-downloads {name}-wc2026-predict.json posted to the dept WeChat group. Groups end → 'Batch import 80 predictions + actual results' → one-click leaderboard: 1 person hit the Champion (30), 5 hit Runner-up (20 each), 2 got 2 SF right (10 each), 3 nailed Golden Boot (10 each). Ranks 1–3 win iPhone / Switch / merch. No 80-row Excel manual scoring; 5 mins and done.
- @LaomaFootball, a 320k-follower Douyin football influencer, drops a pre-group 'My bold 2026 champion pick' video. Enters his own pick into Predictor, generates HASH signature + QR pinned to the comment top. Fans trolling 'you edited this after results' → Laoma drops the original .predict.json into the tool, signature matches, timestamp matches, clap-back is 30 seconds flat.
- Manager Chen of a Beijing CBD sports bar runs 'Pick the Champ, Win Free Beer' on match-nights: Guests scan table-QR, fill prediction, save to phone. Finals night he imports every submitted file, anyone who hit the champion gets 1 free Qingdao pitcher + ¥50 bar voucher. Zero server signups, zero data leaving the bar's laptop. No privacy leak.
- Wang, Chengdu sports-betting shop owner, runs a ¥200/champion pool for 200+ regulars. Batch-imports 200 JSON predictions, finals day one-click leaderboard, 8 people who hit champion split a ¥40 000 pot. Rankings in 3 minutes; previously Excel VLOOKUP + manual check took 1.5 hours.
How to Use
Step-by-step instructions
- New prediction snapshot: Home → '+ New Prediction File' → enter Nickname, Team name (if team event), prediction checkpoint (Pre-group / Post-group / Pre-R16 / Pre-QF) → Start filling.
- 12 prediction fields: ① Champion (req); ② Runner-up (req); ③ 3rd / 4th; ④ Full SF 4 teams; ⑤ Full QF 8 teams; ⑥ Golden Boot (top goalscorer); ⑦ Golden Ball (best player); ⑧ Golden Glove (best keeper); ⑨ Dark Horse; ⑩ Highest-scoring team; ⑪ Fewest-conceded team; ⑫ Biggest group-stage upset. Every field has 48-team dropdown + 1104-player squad dropdown (48 × 23-man squads all populated).
- Generate tamper signature + export: after 12 fields → 'Sign & Generate Hash' → local Web Crypto SHA-256 over (sorted-12-fields + timestamp + nickname + fixed 2026WC-SALT) → 64-hex HASH signature. 'Export Prediction File' = {nickname}-wc2026-predict.json, plus share QR (scannable read-only web preview).
- Post-final score-checking: Home → 'Import 1 / Batch import ZIP' → upload single .json or .zip of many → also import actual results file (we pre-build 2026 final results JSON, you can fine-tune scores) → auto compute hit points (Champion 30 / Runner-up 20 / SF 10 each / QF 5 each / Boot 10 / Ball 8 / Glove 5 / Dark-Horse 5 / Most-goals 5 / Least-conceded 5 / Upset 5 / Perfect 12/12 +20). Batch mode exports leaderboard CSV / PDF instantly.
Why Choose Korelyy
What makes us better
- **Tamper-proof, actually auditable** — browser-native Web Crypto SHA-256 signs (12-fields ordered-JSON + timestamp + nickname + salt). Change even 1 character (e.g., Brazil → Argentina in champ field) → HASH 100% different; collision probability 1/2²⁵⁶, thermodynamically impossible within human life. Excel polls or Google Forms cannot do this — the biggest pain point for office pools and influencer credibility.
- 100% local, ZERO upload. Your predictions, 80-person office pool data, 200 betting-shop client picks all run in local JS, zero bytes sent anywhere. Export, close browser, zero server traces.
- 12 metrics + 120-point granular scoring. 99% of 'prediction tools' only let you pick Champion (1 field, no differentiation — 8 people all pick same champ, who wins?). We have 11 sub-metrics + perfect-bonus so 80-person pools ALWAYS produce a clean ranked leaderboard; never a 5-way tie for 1st.
- Batch ZIP import + 10-second scoring. 80-person office / 200 betting shop / 500-person bar event → one .zip upload → scoring done in 10 s. CSV / PDF / shareable leaderboard poster one-click export. Manual VLOOKUP in Excel for 200 rows = 1+ hour; us 10 s. Time = money.
