Bracket Pad: Tournament Maker

Run the whole tournament from your phone.

Type in the players, pick a format, and the bracket is drawn for you. Tap a winner and the next round fills itself in - no whiteboard, no spreadsheet, no redrawing the whole thing when someone drops out.

Built for pickleball, padel, darts and any weekend tourney, player versus player or team versus team. It doubles as a random team generator: paste the names, get the teams, and the standings work as a live leaderboard.

FIVE FORMATS

• Swiss - players meet opponents on the same score each round, ranked with Buchholz tiebreaks; fix an old result and later rounds rebuild on their own
• Single elimination - one loss and you are out, with an optional third-place match
• Double elimination - a losers bracket, so nobody goes home after one bad match
• Round robin - everyone plays everyone, with a live standings table
• Groups + playoffs - group stage first, then a knockout bracket for the ones who made it

Any number of players from 2 to 256. Byes are handed out evenly, seeding is respected, and the double elimination bracket avoids early rematches.

MADE FOR THE ROOM YOU ARE STANDING IN

• Set up a tournament in under a minute - paste a list of names and it splits them up for you
• Tap a winner, and who plays next is already on screen
• Got a result wrong? Undo it, and only the matches that depended on it are cleared
• Share the bracket as an image or PDF, so the group chat sees it without installing anything
• A real podium: the champion gets a gold card with a trophy, and the final standings carry gold, silver and bronze cups
• Drag players to set the seeding before the bracket is drawn
• Play again: rerun a finished tournament with the same players, reshuffled
• Every tournament in the list shows how far it has got
• Works with no signal at all - everything lives on your phone
• No account, no sign-up, nothing you create leaves the device
• Pick your main color - nine presets or any of your own - in light or dark, in your own language
• Also on iPhone and iPad

FREE SCORE COUNTER

Not every game needs a bracket. Use it as a score keeper for board games, card nights or any game with points: add the players, give each one a color, and tap + or − as the points come in, or tap a score and type it. The leader is highlighted like on a scoreboard, and any change can be undone. Free for everyone - no Pro needed.

YOUR FIRST TOURNAMENT IS FREE

The first tournament is the whole app - every format, every size, image and PDF sharing, and it stays yours forever. After that, unlock unlimited tournaments with a 30-day pass, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
