Ranky is the ultimate Tournament Maker App for creating brackets, leagues, FFA, Battle Royale, Swiss, and Ladder competition formats, all in one place. Build tournaments, enter results, track standings and stats, simulate fixtures, manage teams, and share your competitions with ease. 7 POWERFUL TOURNAMENT FORMATS BRACKET PLAYOFF BUILDER Build a knockout tournament bracket exactly how you want it - direct playoffs or groups to playoffs. Auto-seed or place participants manually. Choose single or double elimination, plus 1-leg or 2-leg knockouts. Standings and progression update automatically after every result. Track wins, draws, losses, goals scored and conceded, clean sheets, and individual player records. Each team gets a dedicated stats page with win rate, head-to-head records, top scorer, top assists, man of the match, best defender, and best goalkeeper. LEAGUE POINTS TABLE CREATOR Run season-style competitions with home and away fixtures, automatic standings, playoffs, goals for and against, points tables, form guides, and head-to-head stats. Single or double round-robin formats are supported. Set promotion and relegation zones and instantly see who is going up or going down. MORE FORMATS Ranky goes beyond brackets and leagues with four additional tournament formats: • FFA — Rank players by scores across multiple rounds. Enter each round's scores and let Ranky keep the overall order updated as the competition progresses. • Battle Royale — Run elimination-style competitions where the lowest-ranked participants are knocked out round by round until the winners remain. • Swiss Tournaments — Pair participants using the Swiss system, track standings across rounds, then optionally send the qualifiers into a knockout bracket. • Ladder Tournaments — Build a challenge-driven ranking where participants move upward by taking on eligible opponents above them and winning their matches. LIVE AND QUICK SIMULATION Watch fixtures play out minute by minute with realistic commentary covering goals, penalties, saves, yellow and red cards, substitutions, and injuries. Or use Quick Simulation to generate results instantly when you want to move faster. TEAMS Create custom teams with unique logos, complete player rosters, player profile images, and detailed statistics. Reuse those teams when setting up competitions instead of rebuilding squads every time. TEMPLATES Save reusable participant lists for competitions you organize regularly. Country-flag avatars for over 195 nations are included, making international competitions, fantasy tournaments, and recurring events faster to set up. PARENT GROUPINGS Keep related events together. Group multiple seasons of a league, yearly editions of a tournament, recurring game nights, or other connected competitions under one parent and access every season from one place. OVERVIEW See your competitions together in one unified stats screen and quickly jump back into the tournaments and formats you are managing. STATS AND PLAYER PROFILES Follow competition form, head-to-head records, rankings, match history, player performance, and tournament progress. Ranky keeps the important numbers organized while results change. SHARE AS IMAGE OR PDF Turn tournament standings, league tables, brackets, and supported competition views into shareable images or PDFs. Share results with players, friends, clubs, communities, or anyone following the competition. CUSTOM IMAGES Upload custom images for players and teams to make every competition feel more personal and immersive. 8 LANGUAGES Use Ranky in English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese, or Chinese. Whether you're organizing a knockout cup, running a full league season, scoring an FFA, eliminating players in Battle Royale, pairing a Swiss tournament, or running a challenge Ladder, Ranky gives you the tools to create, manage, & track your competitions.
