Bracket Maker: Tournament Plan

Bracket Maker turns a list of names into a complete tournament and keeps it up to date while you play. Type in the players or teams, pick a format, and the bracket, the tables and the running order are ready. Enter a score and the winner moves on automatically.

Made for clubs, leagues, offices, schools and game nights: table tennis, foosball, cornhole, chess, darts, soccer, esports, card games or anything else with winners.

FORMATS IN PLAIN WORDS
• Knockout (single elimination): lose once and you’re out, with an optional third-place match
• Knockout with second chance (double elimination): you’re only out after two losses, with a full losers bracket and a deciding match (grand-final reset)
• Groups, then knockout (group stage + knockout), like the World Cup: the best of each group advance, crossed over so group rivals don’t meet again in round one
• Everyone plays everyone (round robin), like a league, with a rest round for odd numbers
• Swiss system for big groups: a few rounds, players with similar scores meet, no rematches, fair byes

DRAW AND SEEDING
• Seeded order (drag to reorder) or random draw with one tap
• Byes for odd numbers are handled automatically and go to the top seeds
• Paste a whole list of names at once

SCORES AND TABLES
• Big plus/minus buttons, quick to use courtside
• Winners and losers move on automatically, even into the losers bracket
• Corrected a score? Later matches that depend on it are reset for you
• Tables with fair tie-breakers: points, head-to-head, score difference, scored, wins; Buchholz for Swiss

BRACKET VIEW AND SCHEDULE
• Large, clear bracket tree: pinch to zoom, scroll, fit to screen
• Schedule with start times and courts or tables, so nobody is booked twice at the same time
• Share the bracket as an image to your group chat
