Keep your office league alive for the knockouts

The group stage is done. Your team spent three weeks arguing about the leaderboard - and now comes the best bit. The knockouts are where the drama lives, and it would be a shame to let the league go quiet just as the football gets unmissable.

Why the knockouts are the moment

• Higher stakes, bigger reactions. One-off matches, extra time, penalties - every game is an event.
• A fresh shot for everyone. Even someone mid-table in the group stage can go on a knockout run and steal the bragging rights.
• It carries the energy to mid-July. A reason for the team to keep checking in right through to the final.

Keep it going in two minutes

Your league, members and leaderboard are already set up - there’s nothing to rebuild. A few things that help engagement through the knockouts:

• Drop a fresh reminder in your team channel before the Round of 32 kicks off.
• Share the standings so far - a “here’s who’s top” nudge pulls stragglers back in.
• Nudge anyone who hasn’t predicted yet from your admin dashboard.
