Tournament Brackets
A tournament bracket is a single-elimination draw: seed your players or teams, record each match, and the winner advances round by round until a champion is crowned. Built for playoffs, gaming tournaments, and any head-to-head event.
ℹ️
Single-elimination
The bracket board runs single-elimination tournaments — one loss and you're out. For round-robin or points-based events where everyone keeps playing, use a leaderboard or scoresheet instead.
Create and run it
1
Create the bracket and add entrants
Click New Board, choose Tournament Bracket, and add your entrants — one name per line, anywhere from 2 to 64 players or teams. You land in the editor at
/boards/<slug>.
2
Seed or shuffle, then generate
Generate the bracket in the order you entered names, or shuffle for a random draw. If your count isn't a perfect power of two (4, 8, 16, 32…), the top seeds automatically get first-round byes so every round stays balanced — for example, 6 teams produce an 8-slot bracket with 2 byes. Regenerate any time before the tournament starts.
3
Enter scores to advance winners
For each match, type the score for each side — the higher score advances automatically to the next round. You can also tap a name to pick the winner directly (handy for ties or special cases). Change a result later and the bracket re-flows downstream for you.
4
Crown the champion
When the final is decided, the champion is highlighted at the top of the bracket. The public view at
/b/<slug> updates live for everyone watching as each winner advances.

How many entrants?
A single bracket holds 2 to 64 players or teams. Player limits depend on your plan — see plans & pricing. The free plan is enough to run a small bracket; Pro and Premium raise the limits for larger tournaments and add custom branding.
