How It Works

Three steps, about a minute

1. Type or paste your players

One name per line, or paste a column straight out of a spreadsheet. Switch to a blank sheet if you would rather write them in by hand.

2. Check the draw

Choose whether round one follows your list, a random shuffle, or standard seeding that keeps the strongest apart. Byes are worked out for you.

3. Print it

The sheet is fitted to one A4 page exactly, so it never spills onto a second one. Your print dialog will save it as a PDF if you prefer.

The Shape

What a 32-team bracket looks like

Thirty-two is where a tournament stops being an afternoon and starts being a schedule.

  • 5 roundsRound of 32, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, final.
  • 31 matchesSixteen, eight, four, two, one. That is a lot of court time to plan for.
  • Still one sheetThirty-two rows fit one A4 page in landscape, though the text gets noticeably smaller than the 16-team sheet.
  • 5 wins to take itWorth telling entrants up front, because five rounds in one day is demanding in anything physical.

Running It

Thirty-two takes planning, not just a sheet

Number your matches

Write a number beside each first-round line so people can find their match without reading thirty-two names. The tool leaves room in the gutter for exactly this.

Decide ties first

Write the tie-break rule at the top of the sheet before anyone plays. Thirty-one matches is thirty-one chances for an argument.

At sixteen players you can improvise. At thirty-two you cannot: thirty-one matches on one table is a very long day, so work out how many courts, tables or boards you have and divide. Four tables turns a five-round day into something manageable, because the first round alone is sixteen matches.

Print two copies. One goes on the wall as the master record, one travels with whoever is running the draw. Corrections on a wall chart get messy quickly, and at this size there will be corrections.

FAQ

Thirty-one. Sixteen in the round of 32, eight in the round of 16, four quarterfinals, two semifinals and the final. Always one fewer than the number of players in a single elimination draw. With a third place play-off it is thirty-two.
Yes. Thirty-two rows fit one A4 sheet in landscape, and the tool scales the drawing to the page so it can never spill onto a second sheet. The text is smaller than on an 8 or 16-team sheet, so if you are pinning it to a wall for people to read at a distance, print it at A3 from your printer dialog or use two 16-team sheets instead.
Thirty-one matches, so it depends entirely on how many can run at once. On a single table at fifteen minutes a match that is nearly eight hours. On four tables the first round takes four sittings rather than sixteen, and a full day becomes realistic. Count your courts before you print.
Yes. Click Print and choose "Save as PDF" as the destination in your browser's print dialog, which every major browser has built in on both Windows and Mac. That gives you a true vector PDF that stays sharp at any size. There is also a Download PNG button if you want an image to drop into a chat or a document.
Because that is what a printable bracket is for. Only the first round can be known before anyone plays, so the rest of the sheet prints as empty lines for you to write the winners into as the tournament goes on. If you would rather the bracket advanced winners by itself and updated live on a web page, that is what the Bracket widget does, and you can move your draw into it in one click.
No. Everything you type stays in your browser and the bracket is drawn on your own device. Nothing is sent to any server, so your players and your tournament name stay private to you.
Yes, completely free. No account, no sign-up, no credit card, and no watermark on the print or the PNG. Make as many brackets as you like.
