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.
