Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about creating tournament brackets

Is this tournament bracket maker really free?
Yes, our bracket maker is 100% free. Create brackets with 2–31 entries without an account. For 32–64 entries, we ask for an email so we can send you your bracket link.
How long do tournament brackets stay active?
New bracket links have no automatic expiration. Anyone with the share link can view the bracket; the private edit link lets you update or delete it. Older brackets keep their original expiration date.
Can I edit my bracket after creating it?
Absolutely! Visit your bracket link anytime and click on team names to select winners. Winners automatically advance to the next round, and all changes save automatically. No need to refresh or manually save.
Can multiple people fill out the same bracket?
Anyone with the view link can see the bracket. Changes require the private edit link. Share that edit link only with organizers you trust.
What bracket sizes are supported?
Use any whole number from 2 to 64 entries. Choose single or double elimination. The generator assigns byes automatically when the entry count does not fill every first-round slot.
Do I need to create an account to make a bracket?
No account is needed. Just enter your team names and click create. For 32–64 entries, we require an email address so we can send you the link to access your large bracket.

What sports can I create brackets for?
Our bracket maker works for any sport or competition: basketball, football, soccer, tennis, esports, cornhole, ping pong, spelling bees, debate tournaments, video game competitions, and more. If it has winners and losers, you can bracket it.
How do I share my bracket with others?
Every bracket gets a unique shareable link (like sportschedulerpro.com/b/abc123). Copy this link and share it via text, email, social media, or anywhere else. Anyone with the view link can see results. Only the private edit link allows changes.
