Bracket Maker

Type your teams, players or anything you want to settle, one per line. The bracket draws itself, hands out byes when the numbers are uneven, and you tap each winner through until one is left. Your bracket stays in this browser and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked

How do I make a tournament bracket?

Type or paste one name per line. The bracket appears right away. Tap the winner of each match to move them to the next round, and keep going until you have a champion.

How many teams can a bracket have?

Anything from 2 to 64. The number does not have to be 4, 8, 16 or 32. With an uneven count the top names on your list get a bye in the first round.

How does the seeding work?

The order of your list is the seeding. Line 1 is the top seed and is placed so it can only meet line 2 in the final. If you want a random draw, press Shuffle the draw.

Is this a single elimination bracket?

Yes. Lose once and you are out. That is the format most office pools, game nights and one-day tournaments use.

Can I save or print my bracket?

Press Download PNG to save a picture of the bracket with every result so far. You can share that picture or print it. The page also remembers your bracket in this browser, so you can come back to it later.

Is the bracket maker free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many brackets you make.
