Slack Family FWC26 Sweep

The Rules

How the random draft works

No favouritism, no stitch-ups. Just a clean, pot-based shuffle so everyone walks away with a fair spread of contenders and dark horses.

1. 1.All 48 nations are split into 4 pots of 12, based on FIFA's official seeding (Pot 1 = the heavyweights, Pot 4 = the longshots).
2. 2.Once everyone's checked in as ready, the admin triggers the draft.
3. 3.Each pot is shuffled like a deck of cards, then dealt out round-robin to the five punters — one nation each, until the pot is empty.
4. 4.Because 48 ÷ 5 doesn't divide evenly, each punter is dealt 2 nations from every pot first (8 total), then the remaining 8 nations are shuffled and dealt at random — so most punters end up with 9 or 10 nations.
5. 5.The result is final and locked in. Last nation standing wins the Sweep — and bragging rights for life.
