Built this on top of a side project (quizzy.earth).The interesting engineering problem was the best-thirds seating logic – FIFA pre-publishes a 495-row lookup table (Annexe C) covering every possible combination of third-place qualifiers. AI kept hallucinating bracket rules so I ended up reading the actual regulations PDF. Each of the 495 scenarios has up to 24,000 valid bracket arrangements; FIFA pre-commits to one per scenario so there s no ambiguity on the night.For a half-finished bracket I fall back to bipartite matching (seat the most-constrained team first). The moment all 8 thirds are chosen it switches to the official lookup.No sign-up. Anonymous picks. Curious what HN thinks the brackets looks like.
