Bracket

Free and open-source tournament management system

About Bracket

Bracket is a flexible, free, open-source tournament system for organizers who want their tournament software in their own hands. You build a tournament setup, add teams and players individually or by CSV, combine Swiss, single-elimination, and round-robin stages, and schedule matches on courts and times with a drag-and-drop interface. Scores and rankings are presented live to the public on a dashboard. With no vendor lock-in and no analytics collected, it suits clubs, schools, and community competitions of many sports.
