What is Tournament Bracket Generator?
A Tournament Bracket Generator is a free online tool to generate a random bracket schedule for a knockout tournament. The tournament bracket will be based on a single-elimination / knockout system whereby each participant of the tournament will be playing at least one match or game. A participant is going to the next round / bracket if they win the game.
How does a tournament bracket work?
Tournament bracket is a tournament structure played via the knockout system. The tournament is a single-elimination competition whereby a participant or team will be leaving the tournament if they lose a game or match.
If a participant or team of the tournament wins a match, they will go to the next round or bracket. This tournament ends with a final which is played between two participants or teams.

With large numbers of participants, the knock-out tournament schedule on the website may become less clear. We recommend printing the tournament schedule or exporting it to Excel.
When there is an odd number of participants, 1 participant will always automatically proceed to the next round.
If the participants cannot be evenly divided in a knockout system, such as in the case of 6 or 12 participants, you can choose from the following 2 options in the tournament settings:
Fill the next round with a number of self-chosen losers (lucky losers).
Automatically let a number of participants proceed to the next round.
You must enter the losers yourself in round 1 for matches without participants. We will then automatically enter them in round 2.
Sorry, we only support single elimination. We are planning to add different tournament types like Double Elimination & Round Robin to the tool in the future.
