One click to a clean printed sheet, or copy a link that re-opens this exact bracket with your names in it.

A bracket that prints right, the first time

Most bracket sites hand you a fixed PDF — wrong team count, no names, tiny type. Bracketree draws the bracket around your tournament: your team count, your names, standard seeding (1 plays last, 2 plays second-to-last), and byes given to the top seeds when the count isn’t a power of two.

Running a darts or cornhole night with a blind draw? Nothing to set up — write the names on the lines in the order you pull them from the hat, just like a paper sheet.

Common questions

How many games are in an 8 team single elimination bracket?

Seven. Every game eliminates exactly one team, so any single elimination tournament has one fewer game than teams — 8 teams means 7 games, 16 teams means 15.

What happens when the team count isn’t a power of two?

The top seeds get first-round byes. With 6 teams, seeds 1 and 2 skip round one; from round two on the bracket is a clean power-of-two tree. You never have to place byes yourself.

Do you store my team names?

No. There is no account and no server. Names live only in your browser and in the shareable link you choose to copy.
