## What is Bracket HQ?

Bracket HQ makes running a tournament simple. Build a bracket, invite your players, and track it all live straight from your phone.

CREATE ANY FORMAT
• Single elimination, double elimination, pools + playoff, or round robin
• Sport templates with built-in settings for tennis, volleyball, pickleball, and more
• Or build a custom tournament with your own rules and scoring

TRACK IT LIVE
• Enter scores as games finish and watch the bracket update in real time
• Switch between tree, radial, and list views to see the whole tournament at a glance

SHARE WITH ANYONE
• Send a link. Players, parents, and fans can follow along live on the web, no account or app needed on their end
• Invite co-editors to help enter scores, set dates and times, and more

SCHEDULE & ORGANIZE
• Set dates, times, and locations for every game
• Pin your active tournaments to the top of your home screen so you never lose track

GO PRO
• Free forever up to 16 teams. Pro unlocks unlimited brackets and 128 teams
• Saved teams & locations you can reuse across events, plus cloud backup that keeps your brackets safe across multiple devices

Whether it's a weekend pickup tournament, a league playoff, or a full-scale event, Bracket HQ keeps it organized from the first game to the championship. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Let's play!

Made by a solo developer (hi, I'm Carson) who runs weekend tournaments with this app too.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-29

Rounds is the new default view: a timeline of every round across the top, and the round you're on shown full size underneath. No more pinching to read a bracket that was zoomed out to fit.

GETTING AROUND
• Tap any round in the timeline to jump straight to it
• Opens on the round actually being played, not back at round one
• In a double elimination, a round now means everything playing at the same time, so winners and losers games that can run together are listed together
• The whole bracket is still one tap away under Bracket

FASTER SCORING
• Type a score instead of tapping + twenty-five times
• Every set is ready to fill in the moment you open a match, so there's no "Add set" to hunt for
• Fix a team name after the tournament has started

### 1.2 — 2026-08-19

Double elimination now works with any team count. Byes get added wherever the bracket needs them, so you are no longer limited to 4, 8, 16, or 32 teams.

TWO NEW TOURNAMENT OPTIONS
• Play for third place: adds one game between the two semifinal losers, so the bracket settles third instead of leaving both semifinalists tied.
• Bracket reset: in a double elimination final, the team coming out of the losers bracket has to win the final twice to claim victory.

FIXED
• Co-editor scores now reach the app. If someone you invited enters a result from the share link, you will see it when you open the bracket, without restarting the app.
• The account button on the home screen is now a settings icon in order to improve accessibility.
• New dark mode app icon
• Bug Fixes

### 1.1 — 2026-08-10

• Free brackets now hold up to 16 teams — double the previous limit.
• Bracket HQ Pro is here: unlimited brackets, up to 128 teams, saved
  teams and locations, cloud backup, and co-editors who can help you
  enter scores.
• A clearer Sign in with Apple button.
• Fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-05
