Free tournament bracket maker (4, 8, or 16 teams)

Paste your team list, pick 4 / 8 / 16 slots, click winners to advance, then share one link or print the board — single elimination with no signup and no server upload.

Four Team Bracket is a browser-only single-elimination maker for office pools, school sports days, esports nights, and family tournaments. Choose a power-of-two field (4, 8, or 16), paste one name per line to set seeding, shuffle if you want a random draw, then tap each match to advance the winner. Changing an earlier result clears dependent later rounds so the board stays honest. An optional third-place game uses the two semifinal losers. Share links compress the whole bracket into the URL hash; print mode strips chrome for a paper copy. The tool does not schedule venues, enforce sport rules, or hide results from anyone who has the link. Power-of-two fields (4, 8, or 16) keep every team paired in round one with no byes. Paste seeding from a spreadsheet column, shuffle if you want a random draw, then click winners so later rounds clear when an earlier result changes. Share links compress the board into the URL hash; print and present mode strip chrome for paper or a venue TV. [batch-a-home-pass-2026-11-13]

Quick start

1. Choose 4, 8, or 16 teams in the editor.
2. Paste one team name per line (spreadsheet columns work) and click Apply names — order is seeding.
3. Optionally Shuffle seeding, then click the winner of each match to advance.
4. Enable a third-place match if you want semifinal losers to play for bronze.

When another format fits better

• 16-team cup day: Paste sixteen club names, keep seed order or shuffle, then advance Round of 16 → quarters → semis → final on a shared phone link.
• Office knockout: Start with eight departments, click winners during lunch rounds, and print the final board for the break room.
• Quick four-team final four: Use the 4-team size for a classic semifinal + final night with an optional third-place consolation.

Limitations

• Supports 4, 8, or 16 teams in single elimination only (no double-elim or round robin).
• Do not put private emails, phone numbers, or confidential names into share URLs.

FAQ

Which field sizes are supported?

Choose 4, 8, or 16 teams—power-of-two single elimination with no byes in round one. That keeps every team paired immediately and matches common casual tournament sizes.

How do I seed teams quickly?

Paste one team name per line from a spreadsheet column, or type into the slots. Shuffle if you want a random draw; edit any slot before the first match starts.

What happens when I change an earlier winner?

Later rounds that depended on that match clear so the bracket cannot keep a stale champion path. Re-click winners down the tree after a correction.

Can I share or print the bracket?

Share links compress the board into the URL hash; print and present modes strip chrome for paper or a venue TV. Keep private player data out of team labels on public links.
