Today, the World Cup 2026 tournament gets underway in North America. As with any big sporting event, it usually falls to one person to organize the required sweepstake. After all, it's always nice to have a team to root for — whether you're putting money on the table or not.For the Tom's Guide U.K. team, that person was me. And I decided that rather than use someone else's tool to divide up the 48 teams among my 17 staff members, I'd build my own. In this case, Google Gemini helped me come up with a suitable framework in minutes. Then it was just a case of tweaking the odd thing here and there.And since it cost me nothing to make, I'm going to pass it on to you for free — in case it helps set up your own office or family sweepstake. No accounts, no adverts and no extra apps — it runs entirely on your device in your own browser. And since I tested it on the Tom's Guide team here at the office, you can be sure it works.Here's what it does and how to get it going.World Cup 2026 Sweepstake Generator
