About Easy Bracket Maker

Most people who run a tournament do it a few times a year, for a club night, a school, a pub league or a LAN party. They need a correct bracket in five minutes, not an events platform. This site is for that person.

What this site is

A free bracket maker that runs entirely in your browser. Single and double elimination, round robin and Swiss, for 3 to 128 teams, with seeding, byes, scoring, standings, printing and sharing. There are no accounts, no paywall and no watermark. Your tournaments are saved on your own device, and nothing you type is sent to us.

Who builds and checks it

Easy Bracket Maker is built and maintained by Taro Schenker, a software developer and web publisher who writes the bracket engine, the format guides and every page on this site. It is published by Known by One, LLC, 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, Delaware 19713, United States.

Why the brackets are correct

Bracket templates copied from blog to blog drift: a bye lands on the wrong seed, a lower-bracket route sends a team into a rematch, a 6-team double elimination ends up with the wrong number of games. The brackets here are not drawn by hand. Every size page is generated from the same engine that runs the app, and that engine has an automated test suite covering seeding order, bye placement, lower-bracket routing, grand-final resets, round robin rotation and Swiss pairing. The counts shown on each page (games, rounds, byes) come from the standard closed forms, so they can be checked against any rulebook.

If you find a bracket that is wrong, tell us. It will be fixed in the engine, which fixes every page at once.
