## What is BracketKeepers?

Make a bracket in a minute and put it on the TV. BracketKeepers runs your tournament from your phone while everyone else watches it live.

Office tournament, cornhole night, beer pong, pool, darts, ping pong, school intramurals, camp field day: type the names, pick a format, tap Go. Every phone, tablet, or TV browser that opens your link shows the same live bracket, with who is playing now and who is up next. No mirroring, no cables, no app on the big screen: open rankkeepers-app.netlify.app on any TV browser and type the 5 letter code.

BRACKETS THAT WORK
- Single elimination: win or go home.
- Double elimination: lose once and you drop into the Second chance bracket. The Fair final gives the unbeaten team a real rematch.
- Round robin: everyone plays everyone, with an automatic schedule and a standings table.
- Pools, then playoff: small pools play round robin, then the top teams go into a knockout.
- King / Queen of the Beach: sign up solo, new partner every game.
- Best of 3 or best of 5 matches, scored game by game.
- Any number of teams. Brackets are free, with no team cap.

SEED IT YOUR WAY
- Random draw for a fair shuffle, or Best first to give your top names the best path.
- Tap two names to swap their matchups.

RUN IT WITH ONE TAP
- Who won? One tap records the winner. Add a score if you want one.
- Mark a match as Playing now on Table 2 or Court 1, and the TV shows it.
- The champion gets a moment on the big screen.

THE TV VIEW
- Live bracket for any phone, tablet, or TV browser, by link, QR code, or 5 letter code.
- Viewers never install anything or sign up.
- On iPad, tap Present to fill the screen, or use AirPlay or an external display and keep your controls on the iPad.
- Print a bracket sheet from the web app for the wall.
- Light look by default on phones and browsers. TVs and AirPlay keep the dark look.

KING / QUEEN OF THE BEACH
Players sign up solo and are split into pools of 4 to 8. Everyone plays 2 v 2 with a new partner every game: a pool of 4 plays 3 games, a pool of 5 plays 5 games, and everyone partners everyone once. Each game counts for both partners, and players are ranked by wins, then point differential.
- When pool play ends, run a finals pool of the top players, or a bracket of balanced fixed pairs (1st with last).
- The TV shows each pool's standings and the Up next pairs for every pool.

POOLS, THEN PLAYOFF
Small pools play round robin, then the top teams from each pool go into a knockout. Seeding sends pool winners against runners-up from another pool. You can also start a playoff from any round robin.

NOT SURE WHAT TO RUN? HELP ME CHOOSE
Tell it how much time you have, how many courts or tables, minutes per game, and whether people sign up as teams or solo. It suggests a format and shows a time estimate on every format.

BEST OF 3 OR BEST OF 5
Score matches game by game. The bracket shows sets won, and results read like "beat X 21-15, 18-21, 15-12".
