Creating your first tournament
A five-minute walkthrough from a blank page to a published bracket.
Start the wizard
Click New in the header (or Create → Tournament) to open the tournament wizard. Give the tournament a name, optionally pick a game or sport, and choose whether it is public or private. A URL slug is generated from the name; you can edit it before publishing.
Add participants
Paste one name per line, import a CSV, or open public sign-ups so participants register themselves. Teams can have rosters with players, captains and substitutes.
- Order matters: the list order becomes the default seeding.
- Use the shuffle button to randomize seeds, or drag rows to reorder.
- Duplicate names are flagged before you continue.
Pick a format and generate
Choose a format (we recommend one based on your field size), review settings such as third-place match or best-of series, and click Generate. The bracket or schedule is created instantly and can be regenerated as long as no results have been entered.
Share and run it
Your public page is live immediately at /t/your-slug. Share the link, print a QR poster, or embed the bracket. Enter scores from the Matches → Play tab on any device.
