Five tournament formats, one free bracket maker
Knockout night, league season, chess club, or “everybody gets a fair shake” — there’s a format for it, with the right scoring built in so you’re not bolting standings together by hand.
Single elimination
A single elimination bracket — one loss and you’re out. The classic knockout.
Double elimination
A full double elimination bracket — winners and losers brackets, grand final, and bracket reset.
Round robin
A round robin where everyone plays everyone once, with a live standings table.
Swiss
A Swiss tournament paired by record each round, with a Buchholz tiebreak.
Consolation
Single elimination plus a consolation 3rd-place playoff to settle the bronze.

Type or paste your list of players or teams, pick a format (single elimination, double elimination, round robin, Swiss, or consolation), and tap Generate. EZ Bracket seeds the participants, adds byes automatically if your count is not a power of two, and draws the full bracket for you.
Five formats: single elimination, double elimination (with a winners and losers bracket, grand final, and bracket reset), round robin (everyone plays everyone, with a standings table), Swiss (paired by record each round with Buchholz tiebreak), and consolation with a 3rd-place playoff. Matches can be best-of-1, best-of-3, or best-of-5.
In double elimination, a player is only out after two losses. There are two brackets: the winners bracket and the losers bracket. Lose in the winners bracket and you drop to the losers bracket instead of being eliminated. The winners-bracket champion meets the losers-bracket champion in the grand final, and because the losers-bracket side has one loss, a bracket reset (a second final game) is played if they win the first one.
EZ Bracket adds byes automatically. If your participant count is not 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on, the top seeds get a bye in the first round and advance without playing, so the bracket stays balanced. It works for any count up to 128 participants.
Yes. You can print to standard US Letter paper. Small brackets fit on a single page, and larger ones can print as a readable multi-page layout so the names stay legible. It is ideal for posting a printed bracket at an event.
