Frequently asked questions

How do I make a tournament bracket?

Enter your players or teams, one per line in seed order, and generate the bracket. Then click the winner of each match to advance them through the rounds until a champion is crowned.

What if I don't have a power-of-two number of teams?

The maker automatically adds byes to fill the bracket up to the next power of two, and any team facing a bye advances to the next round without playing.

Is my bracket saved?

Yes, in your browser, with no account needed. You can close the page and come back to keep filling in results as your tournament plays out.

About this tool

The tournament bracket maker builds a single-elimination bracket from your list of players or teams, seeded in the order you enter them. If the count isn't a power of two, byes are added and advance automatically. Click a name in each match to mark the winner and they move to the next round; changing an earlier pick clears the later rounds. Your bracket is saved in this browser with no login, so you can fill in results as the tournament plays out. Everything runs on your device.

Like most tools on UtilityBase, the tournament bracket maker runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more generators here.
