Run a football prediction pool with your readers — embed your pool's live standings board and let visitors join with one click.

== Description ==

Turn your blog into the home of your prediction pool.

Create a free pool at [wundergoal.com/pool/new](https://wundergoal.com/pool/new) — there are eight ways to play (Predictions, Survivor, Bracket, Confidence, Outrights, Props, Joker and Auto-pick) — then drop the pool's live standings board into any post or page with this plugin. Your readers see the race update as matches finish, and a built-in join button lets them enter your pool without leaving the flow.

**What the board shows**

* Live member standings for your pool, scored by your pool's format
* Automatic updates as results land — no editing, no refresh-and-repaste
* A join button so new readers can enter with your invite code
* Dark and light themes to match your site

**How to use it**

1. Create a pool at wundergoal.com/pool/new and copy its invite code
2. In WordPress, go to Settings → WunderGoal Pools and paste the code
3. Add the `[wundergoal_pool]` shortcode — or the "Pool Standings Board" block — wherever the board should appear

You can run different pools on different pages by passing a code per shortcode: `[wundergoal_pool code="ABCD2345" theme="light" height="480"]`.

This plugin embeds the board from wundergoal.com and collects no data itself. It renders nothing until you configure a pool code.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do my readers need an account to see the board? =

No. The standings board is public and read-only. Joining the pool (to make picks) takes a free WunderGoal account.

= Where do I find my pool's invite code? =

On your pool page at wundergoal.com, under "Embed your pool". It's the same code friends use to join.

= Can I show more than one pool? =

Yes — place multiple shortcodes, each with its own `code` attribute.

= Does the plugin slow my site down? =

The board loads lazily in an iframe, so it doesn't block your page render. If no pool code is configured, nothing loads at all.
