Penalty Shoot-out simulator is an instructional app that demonstrates using the Rule-of-Six to determine if a team has an insurmountable lead during the first five rounds of a soccer Penalty Shoot-out. The user can set up a simulated shoot-out, setting the number of eligible players, the names and colors of the teams, then enter results of each team's turns one-by-one. The app keeps track of the goals scored and a Rule-of-6 tally for each team. A team gets a Rule-of-6 tally mark for each of their goals, and each of their opponent misses. If either team's Rule-of-6 tally reaches six before the end of the fifth round, that team has an insurmountable lead and is the winner. The app also provides referees a printable Penalty Shoot-out scorecard that incorporates the Rule-of-6. The app can also be used to follow along during an actual Penalty Shoot-out. • Track penalty shoot-outs in real time • Customizable team colors and names • Select player numbers for each turn • Professional referee Penalty Shoout-out Scorecard • Rule-of-Six demonstration and automatic calculation

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Bracket App at Free against Penalty Shoot's $1.99. Bracket App also leads on ratings volume (165 vs 1). Penalty Shoot's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
