Bracket rules

The tool creates a single-elimination bracket and fills empty power-of-two slots as byes.

  • Each match sends one winner to the next round.
  • If the participant count is uneven, some players advance with a bye.
  • Use print after generating to share a paper bracket.

Online tournament bracket generator

This tournament bracket generator helps you prepare quick single-elimination matchups for games, classroom contests, office activities, esports nights, sports practice or family tournaments. Paste a list of players or teams, choose whether the list should be randomized, and the page builds the first round, later placeholder rounds, final match and any byes needed for an uneven participant count.

Random matchups and byes

The tool rounds the bracket to the next power of two, so 5, 6 or 7 entries can still fit into an 8-slot bracket. Empty slots are marked as byes, while normal matches show two participants. This makes it useful for small tournaments where the number of teams is not perfect.

Printable bracket for events

After generating the bracket, you can copy the matchup list or print a cleaner bracket view. Everything runs in the browser, so names are not uploaded to the server.
