About Semifinal + Final Bracket Maker

Overview

Purpose

This tool is a fixed 4-team bracket: two semifinals feed one final, with an optional third-place game. It is intentionally simple for office pools, family competitions, gaming brackets, and casual sports betting pools.

Click-to-advance keeps the flow fast. Shareable links use compressed URL hashes so recipients see the same bracket without accounts or a database.

No bracket data is collected or stored server-side. Preferences stay in your browser; shared links only encode data in the URL itself.

Intended uses and scope

Appropriate when: Set four teams, click to advance through two semis into a final, optionally play for third, then share a URL hash or print a clean bracket — built for office pools, family tournaments, gaming nights, and casual sports pools. Not for: The layout supports four teams only, and shared URLs should not contain private participant information.
