Tournament bracket maker

A clean printable tournament bracket, ready to hang on the wall.

How to make a tournament bracket

  • Type the players or teams, one per line, with the best seed first.
  • Add a title and choose Letter or A4.
  • Turn on Shuffle the order if the draw should be random.
  • Press Download PDF and print it.

How the bracket works

  • It is a single elimination bracket: lose once and you are out.
  • If the number of names is a power of 2 (4, 8, 16, 32 or 64), everyone plays in round 1.
  • For any other number, the top seeds get a bye and go straight to round 2, so that every later round is complete.
  • The first name on your list is the top seed.

Good to know

The PDF turns portrait or landscape, whichever gives more space to write for the size of your bracket. Use it for school sports, game nights, office table tennis or a chess club. The names you type stay in your browser, and the bracket is drawn on your device.
