Bracket Maker & Round Robin
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn a list of players into a bracket or a round-robin schedule, keep score live, and share the results. Built for the person running the event, not for a league office. WHAT YOU CAN RUN • Single elimination: correct byes for any number of entrants, seeds you set and reorder yourself, never randomized behind your back. • Double elimination: losers drop to the right spot in the lower bracket, every time. • Round robin: everyone plays everyone, odd numbers handled with byes, standings updated as scores come in. • Rotating-partner mixer: partners rotate each round, courts are assigned for you, and the schedule balances games and sit-outs. • Live score sheet: tap in scores from the sideline; the bracket and standings update instantly. • Shareable results: export the finished bracket or table as an image and send it to the group chat. MADE FOR ORGANIZERS • Type, paste or scan a player list, review the names, choose a format and set the rules. No account required. Works offline. • Light and dark appearance for different playing conditions. • Celebrate final placements or announce results one place at a time. • Both members of a team are shown everywhere, including in round-robin schedules. • Edit a result after the fact and everything downstream recalculates. • Works for pickleball, padel, tennis, table tennis, darts, cornhole, pool, volleyball, football, esports, board games, office competitions and anything else with a winner. STRAIGHT ABOUT PRICING The free tier and its limit are shown on the very first screen, before you enter a single player. If your event fits, it is free. Larger events and PDF export are unlocked with an optional subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase; the price is shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings.
