Three steps to your bracket
No sign-up, no setup. Go from idea to printable bracket in under 60 seconds.
This tournament bracket generator is built for people who need a working bracket immediately, not a complicated tournament management system. Choose single elimination if you want the fastest path to a champion, or choose double elimination if you want a format where teams get a second chance. Then enter your team names, click winners as matches are played, and export the final bracket as a PDF, image, or shareable link.
Choose Your Format
Single elimination for speed. Double elimination for fairness. Pick your team count — 4, 8, 16, or 32. The bracket generates instantly with proper seeding and round structure.
Add Team Names
Type names directly, paste a full list, or hit Randomize. Edit any name at any time — even after matches have been played. Changes propagate through all rounds instantly.
Export & Share
Download a watermark-free PDF for printing, save a high-res image for social media, or generate a shareable link. Track results live by clicking match winners.
Popular bracket sizes
Jump straight to a pre-configured bracket. Each page includes round details, use cases, and tips.
Most people search for a bracket by team count, so the homepage should make those options obvious. A 4-team bracket works well for quick office pools or family game nights. An 8-team bracket fits small school events and backyard tournaments. A 16-team bracket is the classic size for more serious local competitions, while a 32-team bracket is better for league playoffs, larger esports events, and bigger community tournaments. If you are deciding between sizes, smaller brackets are easier to run quickly, while 16-team and 32-team brackets are better when you want a fuller playoff structure with more rounds.
Single vs double elimination
Choose single elimination when you want a faster event with fewer total matches. Choose double elimination when you want a fairer format where one loss does not immediately end a team's run.
- Best for quick events where time and court space are limited.
- Every match matters because one loss eliminates a team.
- Useful for office pools, school activities, and short local tournaments.
- Best when you want teams to have a second chance after one bad result.
- Adds a losers bracket and usually produces more total matches.
- Useful for more competitive groups where fairness matters more than speed.
