Our bracket maker has different elimination algorithms which makes it ideal for all types of competitions and tournaments. Besides that, it also allows you to customize team names and even make changes to the generated schedules which makes it among the best-rated apps in the market. Leave the tournament schedule on us and start focusing on other things, just import your team names or player names, and our generator will build an entire schedule of competitions (which you can edit). Isn’t it cool? Features - Unlimited Bracket Building: Our PRO users can make unlimited brackets and launch unlimited tournaments, so whether you want to manage a single tournament or want to manage multiple tournaments, our app can do it all - Customizing Team / Player Names: Unlike most bracket makers in the market that only shows “Team 1 vs Team 2”, you can actually add up your team names in our app which makes it easier to manage and remember. Isn’t it what every tournament/esports organizer wants? - Modify Generated Competitions: Once you enter the number of teams/players who are going to play the tournament, our app shall generate the matches and challenges between those teams, as a user you can modify or change which team shall compete with which one, that too just by simple drag and drop. Wanted that? We got you covered. - Bracket Methods: Most of the tournament bracket maker apps come with single elimination methods. However, that’s not the ideal way to run a tournament, that’s why we sat down with different tournament organizers and have added 3 different elimination methods i.e. Single, Double and Round Robin. - Social Shareability: The world is becoming more and more social, everyone wants to post everything on social media. One of the tournament managers we interviewed wanted to share every single competition and the entire bracket on social media and our app has it integrated, you can generate a PDF or just share a Image on your social media accounts. - Score Management: Besides generating the entire tournament, our app also allows you to add scores for individual competitions. This way, you can just enter the score and the winner shall be decided. - Realtime Leaderboard: As and when a team wins, the results shall be updated on our leaderboard on a real-time basis. So just open the leaderboard for a tournament and know which team is ruling the tournament and by how many points.
