BUILD YOUR TOURNAMENT Tournament Bracket Maker gives you everything you need to create and run a knockout tournament from the first draw to the final. Whether you're organizing a football tournament, soccer competition, esports event, school tournament, club competition, workplace competition, or simply a tournament with friends, create your bracket in minutes and let the app handle the tournament flow. CHOOSE HOW YOUR TOURNAMENT WORKS Run your competition your way with: • Single elimination • Double elimination with Winners and Losers brackets • Groups to bracket • Single-leg or two-legged matches • Optional 3rd place match • Automatic byes • Score-based matches or tap-to-declare-winner matches Double elimination gives participants a second chance after their first loss, with the Winners bracket and Losers bracket eventually coming together in the Grand Final. Two-legged matches let opponents play twice, with aggregate scoring deciding who progresses. CONTROL THE DRAW Add participants manually, load teams you've already created, or choose from a library of country teams. Use Random Draw when you want the bracket shuffled automatically, or Manual Order when you want complete control over every starting position. Need a large tournament? Build brackets with up to 128 participants. FOLLOW EVERY MATCH Your bracket updates as the tournament progresses. See exactly who advances, who drops out or drops into the Losers bracket, which fixtures are waiting for participants, and which matches still need a result. Pan and zoom around large brackets, jump to fixtures that need attention, and follow your tournament all the way to the champion. SIMULATE THE ACTION Don't want to enter every result yourself or want to enjoy a game feel? Simulate your tournament and watch it play out. Matches progress over time, with simulated goals appearing naturally throughout the match. Choose how long simulations should take, from 9 seconds all the way up to 1 minute. It's an easy way to see your bracket come alive, test a tournament setup, or simply find out who comes out on top. BUILD YOUR TEAM COLLECTION Create custom teams and reuse them across tournaments. Add team images, manage your roster, or choose from country teams and their flags. Tournament results feed back into your team records, so you can see how many tournaments each team has played, won, or earned 2nd or 3rd place medals from. KEEP YOUR TOURNAMENT HISTORY Your completed tournaments don't disappear when the final is over. They move to your history, so you can revisit previous results, duplicate tournaments to create another edition, or start a new season using an existing competition as your starting point. MAKE IT YOURS Set your preferred tournament defaults in Settings - Presets. Choose your default simulation duration, elimination format, scoring method, match format, and 3rd place match setting. Your preferences can then be carried into the tournament creation flow, saving you from configuring the same options every time. FROM FIRST DRAW TO FINAL WHISTLE Tournament Bracket Maker is a tournament manager built to make running a knockout tournament feel simple. Create the bracket. Make the draw. Play the matches. Follow every result. And when the tournament is finished, know exactly who lifted the trophy.
