Run a tournament from the first draw to the trophy, on the phone in your pocket. Type the names, pick a format, and Bracket Maker builds the whole thing — seeding, byes, every round. Enter a score at the desk and the winner is already in the next match. When it's over, print the bracket for the wall or send it to the group chat. BUILT FOR THE PERSON RUNNING IT - Type or paste a list of names — one per line, straight from Notes or a spreadsheet - Seeding and byes worked out for you, or draw at random - Score by points or just tap the winner — plenty of events don't track points - Best-of series, draws, forfeits and no-shows all handled - Fix a wrong score any time; everything after it follows - Save a squad once and reuse it next season EVERY FORMAT - Single elimination, with an optional third-place match - Double elimination, with or without a bracket reset - Round robin, single or double, with a live table - Swiss — set the number of rounds, paired by score, nobody knocked out - Pools into a playoff — set how many advance from each group THE WHOLE DAY, COURT BY COURT - Deal every match across your courts with start times - Rest between rounds so nobody plays back to back - Override the court or the time on any single match - The match in progress on your Lock Screen, score and all SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR IT - Vector PDF, US Letter or A4, sharp at any size — for the noticeboard - An image for the group chat - A 9:16 card for stories - A live link anyone can open — the bracket updates as you score it - Team logos on screen and in every export FROM 2 TO 99 COMPETITORS Teams or individuals.
