Your group, ranked,
updated automatically — every match.
Group tables, knockout bracket, points awarded for goals, wins, clean sheets and stage progression. You don't touch a thing.
- Automatic scoring — pulled from official results within minutes of the final whistle.
- Group + knockout views — proper tables with P W D L GD Pts, plus the bracket as it unfolds.
- Form arrows — see who's climbing, who's tanking, who got Belgium.
- Mobile-perfect — your group checks it on the bus, in the kitchen, between meetings.
Stop chasing Dave
for his fiver.
You're the organiser, not the bailiff. playdrawr tracks who's paid, sends gentle nudges, and keeps the running pot total in everyone's face.
- Paid / unpaid status — visible to the whole group, so peer pressure does the work.
- Auto-nudges — polite reminder emails on day 3 and day 7. We chase, you don't.
- Pay how you like — cash, bank transfer, Monzo, the kitty at the bar. We don't touch it.
- Pot total, live — pinned to the TV, the dashboard, and everyone's phone.
