Brackdown is the universal scoreboard for every sport, video game, and backyard tournament you play — now with a built-in community.
FIND PLAYERS, NOT JUST SCORES
The Discover tab surfaces other Brackdown players ranked by the sports you both play. Tap Quick Match for a random opponent in seconds. Filter by sport, sort by ELO. Become discoverable and let others challenge you back — only your name, top sports, and ELO are shared. No accounts, no servers, just iCloud.
MESSAGE YOUR FRIENDS
Built-in 1:1 chat with friends. iMessage-style bubbles, read receipts, push notifications when a friend messages you, block and report tools built in. All over iCloud, no separate login.
KEEP REAL ELO RATINGS
Every match — Tennis, FIFA, pickleball, chess, bowling, you name it — feeds your per-sport ELO and a weighted overall rating that follows you across every game. Adaptive USCF-style scaling means new players move faster and masters move slower, just like in real chess.
120+ SPORTS, VIDEO GAMES, AND TABLETOP
- Specialist engines for Tennis (with proper deuce, sets, tiebreaks), Chess (W/L/D), Golf (per-hole stroke entry, lowest wins), and Bowling (10-frame with strikes, spares, and 10th-frame bonus).
- Curated presets for FIFA, NBA 2K, Madden, NHL, MLB The Show, Rocket League, Call of Duty, Valorant, CS2, Fortnite, Apex, Halo, Splatoon, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Magic, Catan, Settlers, Wingspan, Cornhole, Spikeball, Kan Jam, Ladder Ball, and dozens more.
- Add your own custom games in 30 seconds — pick rules, give it a name, it'''s in the catalog forever.
TOURNAMENTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Single elimination with seeding, byes, and best-of-N series (best of 3, 5, 7). Round robin with live standings. Visual bracket tree with animated reveal and glowing trail for advancing winners. ELO-based seeding so top players don'''t meet in round 1. Share the bracket as an image with one tap.
DOUBLES + MULTIPLAYER
Form teams of two for tennis doubles, golf best-ball, bowling, cornhole — anything. Free-for-all matches up to 8 players with proper pairwise ELO updates. Join a friend'''s match in person via Bluetooth + Wi-Fi (no internet needed) and bring your real ELO with you.
POSTGAME MOMENTS
Confetti in sport colors, ELO milestone celebrations with sparkle bursts (cross 1500, 2000, 2400), trash-talk lines, signed scorecards, photos and notes per match, auto-generated share cards for iMessage. Year in Review dashboard. Charts of your ELO over time and head-to-head records.
iOS-NATIVE
Live Activities show your in-progress score on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. Home screen widgets show your overall ELO and recent matches. Spotlight search surfaces your matches and players. AR scoreboard projects the live score onto your court or table.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Everything is on your device unless you choose to publish. Discoverability is opt-in. iCloud sync is optional. Profiles only sync when you explicitly share them. Chat and Discover are powered by iCloud Public — no accounts to create, sign in with your Apple ID like every iCloud app.
