How the bracket is built
Three steps, all in your browser — the count, the seed order and the match tree are recomputed on every keystroke.
One name per line, up to 64. Blank lines are dropped, duplicates get flagged, and the live badge counts the field as you type.
Single or double elimination; entry order, a Fisher-Yates shuffle, or the standard 1v8 / 4v5 / 3v6 / 2v7 seed order with byes handed to the top seeds.
Send it to the printer, save a PDF, download a crisp SVG/PNG, or copy a link that carries the whole bracket in the URL fragment.
Built for pool sheets and gym walls
Non-power-of-two fields (6, 11, 13 teams) get byes spread canonically, so the top seeds sit out round one and nobody plays twice in a round.
Every slot has a rule to write the score on — the bracket is a working pool sheet, not just a diagram.
Later rounds are labelled “Winner M3” or “Loser M2”, so the flow is unambiguous on paper.
Connector lines, cards and headers are outline strokes inside the SVG, so the bracket prints even with “background graphics” switched off.
Names over 24 characters are clipped inside the card and the full name stays available on hover, so columns never overflow.
Nothing is uploaded or saved. The share link is the state: reopen it and the same teams, format and seeding come back.
Questions coaches actually ask
Is it really free, and do I have to register?
Free and account-free. There is no login, no email, no watermark and no upload — the page builds the bracket locally.
Where do my team names go?
Nowhere. They stay in the page. If you copy the share link, the names live in the part of the URL after the #, which browsers never send to a server.
How are byes decided?
The field is padded to the next power of two. In standard seeding the highest seed numbers become byes, so seeds 1 and 2 sit out round one — exactly how a printed bracket does it.
What is “standard seeding”?
The canonical order used by most tournaments: 1v8, 4v5, 3v6, 2v7 for eight teams, extended the same way for 16, 32 and 64. The strongest seeds can only meet late.
How do I print a 32- or 64-team bracket?
The print stylesheet switches to landscape and fits the whole tree on one page with no cut-off lines. For the crispest wall-sized copy, download the SVG or PNG instead.
Why does it say my link is out of date?
A copied link freezes the team list, format and seeding at that moment. If you edit any of them afterwards the badge appears — press Copy link again to share the new bracket.
