⚔️ Strategy Tournament – Season 9: World Cup Edition
💰 Prize Pool: 5,000 USDT
📈 Dynamic betting limits across tournament stages
🏆 Fully on-chain rankings and settlement
The FIFA World Cup returns once every four years, and Season 9 of the Strategy Tournament will officially enter its World Cup Edition.
This season will cover all 104 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where participants compete throughout the entire tournament through prediction skill, bankroll management, risk control, and strategic execution.
Unlike traditional prediction contests driven by short-term luck, the World Cup Edition is designed as a long-form strategy competition spanning the entire tournament.
As the World Cup progresses from the Group Stage into the knockout rounds, prediction limits will gradually increase.
Success is not only about predicting match outcomes, but also about managing capital efficiently and identifying the best risk-reward opportunities at different stages of the tournament.
All predictions, settlements, and ranking updates are executed in real time through OpenPlay smart contracts, with every record remaining transparent, verifiable, and immutable on-chain.

📅 Tournament Schedule
2026 FIFA World Cup
Total Matches: 104
Registration Deadline: June 27, 2026
Registration remains open throughout the entire Group Stage.
Players may still join even after the World Cup has officially started.
Because betting limits expand significantly as the tournament advances, the knockout rounds often become the most decisive stage for leaderboard positioning, meaning late entrants can still compete effectively for top rankings.
