Bracket Maker is a fast, private tournament manager for creating brackets, recording scores, and keeping every round on track. Choose a format, add players or teams, and start playing. Tap any match to enter the score - Bracket Maker updates the results and keeps the tournament moving. CHOOSE YOUR FORMAT • League phase - one table for everyone, opponents drawn from seeding pots, then a play-in and a knockout for the top places • Swiss - players meet opponents with the same score each round, ranked with Buchholz tiebreaks • Single elimination - one loss and you are out, with an optional third-place match • Double elimination - a losers bracket, so nobody goes home after one bad match • Round robin - everyone plays everyone, once or home and away, with a live standings table • Groups + playoffs - group stage first, then a knockout bracket for the ones who made it Draws count wherever a table decides, with your own points for a win, a draw and a loss. A match can be a single game or a best of three, five or seven, entered set by set. A bracket that holds up: byes are handed out evenly at any number of participants, seeding is respected, and the double elimination bracket avoids early rematches. Got a result wrong? Undo it, and only the matches that depended on it are cleared. RUN IT YOUR WAY • Create brackets for 2 to 256 participants • Add names one at a time or paste the full list • Drag players to set the seeding • Shuffle participants into teams • Zoom in, zoom out, or fit the whole bracket on screen • Keep all your tournaments in one place • Play again: rerun a finished tournament with the same players, reshuffled • Pick your main color, in light or dark • Export any bracket as an image or PDF • Save and share a backup file • Works on iPhone and iPad FREE SCORE COUNTER Not every game needs a bracket. Start a game, add the players, give each one a color, and tap + or − as the points come in, or tap a score and type it. The leader is highlighted, and any change can be undone. The score counter is free for everyone - no Pro needed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No internet required. Everything works offline, and nothing you create reaches a server of ours - your tournaments and games live on your device, with a private copy in your own iCloud so the library survives reinstalling the app. YOUR FIRST TOURNAMENT IS FREE The first tournament is the whole app: every format, any size up to 256 participants, image and PDF export, and it stays yours forever. Creating more tournaments takes Bracket Maker Pro.
