Create 16, 32, and 64-player tournament brackets in seconds on your phone. Winner taps, random shuffle, automatic byes, PNG export, and PDF/A4 printing are all handled in one app. Choose single or double elimination for your event. Double elimination keeps teams in the tournament until their second loss, with clear Winners, Losers, and Finals brackets. Choose a tournament size, enter participant names, and generate the full bracket in just a few steps. The app supports common sizes such as 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 participants, plus any count from 3 to 64. When the number does not fit perfectly, byes are handled automatically. Tap the winner of each match to advance them through the bracket. You can keep the entry order, shuffle participants, or adjust pairings before creating the tournament. If earlier results change, later results can be cleared so the bracket stays consistent. Tournament names, dates, participants, notes, winners, and progress are saved on your device. No account is required, so it works well for quick events, recurring tournaments, and personal use. Export brackets as PNG images or A4 landscape PDF files for sharing, printing, or preparing a blank bracket before the event begins. Optional Premium features include score entry, tournament duplication, and PNG/PDF export.
