Online Tournament Bracket — How to Create One for Free

An online tournament bracket replaces the whiteboard at the court. Anyone can check standings, results, and stats from their phone with a single link.

Choose Your Format

• Round-robin: everyone plays everyone. Best for 4-12 teams.
• Knockout: lose and you’re out. Fast, exciting, good for 16+ teams.
• Groups + knockout: hybrid format used in the World Cup. Best of both worlds.
