Need a printable tournament bracket for a ping-pong night, a gaming tournament, a chess club or an office pool? Bracketly turns a list of names into a clean single-elimination bracket PDF in seconds — no spreadsheet, no drawing lines by hand. Type a title, paste or type your players one per line (or as a comma-separated list), choose whether to shuffle the seeds, and create. Print it, share it, or post it on the wall. • 2 TO 32 PLAYERS — any number in between. Bracketly sizes the bracket to 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 slots and shows how many byes you'll get before you create it. • CLASSIC SEEDING — top seeds are placed apart (1 vs last, 2 vs second-to-last), and byes go to the top seeds and advance automatically to round two. • SHUFFLE OR KEEP YOUR ORDER — randomize the draw, or keep your list order as the seed order. • LABELED ROUNDS — round headers (Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Final) and a Champion slot at the end. • PDF AND IMAGE — a landscape US Letter PDF for printing, plus an image for group chats and screens. Honest scope: single elimination only — no double elimination, round robin or consolation brackets. The bracket is a printable sheet: you fill in the winners by hand as matches finish; scores are not tracked in the app. Everything is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 brackets. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited brackets. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
