Bracket Maker turns a list of names into a ready-to-run tournament in under a minute — then runs the whole competition from your phone. No account, no sign-up, and no internet needed. FOUR FORMATS • Single elimination — the straight knockout: lose once and you are out. Free for up to 16 entrants, and up to 128 with Pro • Round robin — everyone plays everyone, ranked on points. Free for up to 16 entrants, and up to 32 with Pro • Double elimination — one loss only drops you to the lower bracket, so nobody goes home after a single bad match. A Pro format, up to 64 entrants • Swiss system — play opponents on a similar record without being knocked out early. A Pro format, up to 64 entrants BUILD THE BRACKET IN SECONDS • Paste a whole roster at once, split on line breaks, commas or semicolons, with duplicates removed and reported • Or type names one by one, or just pick a number of teams • Automatic seeding from your list order, and automatic byes for ANY number of entrants — not only 8, 16 or 32 • Shuffle for a random draw, or move any name up or down the list to set the seeding yourself before the first match • A round robin generator that turns the roster into the full all-plays-all fixture set in one step RUN THE EVENT, NOT JUST THE CHART • Tap a team to advance the winner and watch the bracket fill toward the final • Next up shows exactly which matches are ready to play right now • Pro adds digital scores, so the winner comes straight from the numbers • Change your mind and every result that depended on that match is cleared properly — no stale winners left behind • Undo the last result even after you close and reopen the app • Round robin and Swiss standings track wins, draws, losses, points and point difference, and say honestly when the lead is shared instead of inventing a champion SWISS, DONE PROPERLY — A PRO FORMAT • Recommended number of rounds for your field size • Players meet opponents on similar records, and rematches are avoided • The bye goes to the lowest-scoring player who has not had one yet • You decide when the next round is generated — nothing happens behind your back SIZE AND SAVING • Every format runs 16 entrants for free. Pro raises that to 128 for single elimination, 64 for double elimination and Swiss, and 32 for round robin • Your first tournament is free. After that, each new tournament takes one short video — or go Pro for unlimited tournaments and no ads. • Keep 5 saved tournaments for free, or as many as you like with Pro — they sit side by side on the home screen until you delete them • Pinch, pan and zoom to read even a 128-team bracket • Continue the event you had open, search by tournament or team name, filter by active or complete, and duplicate a past event to reuse the same roster SHARE THE RESULT • Export the bracket, the fixtures or the standings as an image • Send it to the players or a group chat in one tap • Free exports carry a small Bracket Maker watermark. Playing a short video clears it for that one export, and with Pro every export is clean • Pro also adds five event colours, so each competition looks like its own YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Tournaments, teams, scores, themes and undo history are stored only on your phone. There is no account, nothing is uploaded, and everything works with the internet switched off. One thing to be clear about: Bracket Maker builds the pairings and the round structure. It does not schedule dates, kick-off times or venues, and it has no data about real-world leagues or competitions. Game night, the office table-tennis championship, a pool or darts night, a chess club, a pickleball round robin, a school sports day or an esports event — Bracket Maker keeps it straight from the first round to the final. Some of the features described require a subscription. Terms of Use: https://zeroplay.io/docs/legal/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://zeroplay.io/docs/legal/privacy-policy
