Knockout brackets in seconds
The tournament bracket generator builds a single-elimination (knockout) bracket for 2 to 64 players or teams. Turn on random seeding for a fair draw, or keep your own order to seed the strongest players first.
When the number of entries is not a power of two (8, 16, 32…), the generator adds byes to the top seeds automatically, using the standard seeding order so byes are spread fairly. Click a name to send it to the next round – and if you change an earlier result, later rounds update. When you’re done, print the bracket or save it as a PDF.
