How it works

  2. Read the first round: the top seeds meet the lowest ones, and byes fill the empty places.
  3. Click the winner of each match to move them to the next round.
  4. Copy the bracket or the summary to share it, or print the page.

Questions

How are the seeds placed?
The first name is seed 1, the second seed 2, and so on. The bracket uses the classic order (for 8 places: 1 v 8, 4 v 5, 2 v 7, 3 v 6) so that the top seeds can only meet in the late rounds. Press “Shuffle names” if the order of your list means nothing.
What is a bye?
When the number of players is not a power of two (4, 8, 16, 32, 64), the bracket is rounded up to the next power of two and the missing places are byes. The players facing a bye go to the next round without playing. They are always the top seeds, and no match is ever bye against bye.
How many matches will be played?
Always one fewer than the number of players: each match removes one player. 11 players mean 10 matches, whatever the byes.
Does it keep scores or a third-place match?
No. It records winners only, and there is no consolation match. For points over several rounds, use the scorekeeper.
