Before you roll

Four Team Bracket is a deliberately small tournament board for exactly four entrants. Add team names, optionally set colors or seeds, choose semifinal winners with clicks, and advance a finalist to crown the champion. The optional third-place match keeps consolation play visible.

Confirm everyone agrees what Copy shareable link means for your group before you rely on a single outcome.
