Tournament bracket generator

Paste your teams, pick a format, and print. The bracket is drawn the same way as every printable on this site: byes go to the top seeds, and in double elimination every loser's next match is marked.

How the generator seeds a bracket

Teams are placed so the best seeds meet as late as possible: 1 and 2 can only meet in the final, 1 through 4 only in the semifinals. When the number of teams is not 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64, the top seeds get first-round byes. Choose "Random draw" and the names are shuffled before they are placed, which is the fair way to run a bracket when nobody is ranked.

Limits

Single elimination goes up to 64 teams, double elimination up to 32 and round robin up to 12, so that everything still fits on one printed page. What you type stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
