The Common Ninja March Madness Bracket Maker is a free, no-code widget for running a bracket pool on your own website. Build the bracket, open it for predictions, and paste one line of embed code.
Participants fill in their picks, a scoring system rates them as results come in, and a leaderboard ranks everyone, so the pool runs itself through every round.
Signup pages, automatic round advancement, shareable brackets, multiple layouts, export to image or PDF, and custom CSS are all included. Works on 200+ platforms including WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, and Webflow.
Why run a March Madness bracket on your website?
The office pool without the spreadsheet
Someone always ends up collecting picks by email and maintaining a scoring sheet by hand. Predictions, scoring, and the leaderboard all happen in the widget, so the pool runs without a volunteer administrator losing their March.
A reason for people to come back daily
A bracket pool brings the same visitors back for three weeks to check standings. Very little else on a website earns that kind of repeat traffic from an audience that is enjoying itself.
Signups you actually keep
The signup page means entrants identify themselves to join the pool, which turns a seasonal bit of fun into a list of people who chose to engage with your site rather than anonymous traffic.
Runs on your page, not somebody else's
The big bracket platforms keep the audience and the data. Hosting the pool on your own site means the attention, the repeat visits, and the entrants belong to you.
How it works
Build the bracket
Set up the matchups and pick a layout and style. Do this before the tournament starts: once the first round is under way, people want to enter immediately and any delay costs you entries.
Open it for predictions
Turn on the signup page so participants add themselves, and enable predictions so they submit their picks. The scoring system rates each entry as results come in, and the leaderboard ranks everyone automatically.
Share the embed and let it run
Copy the snippet from the Add to Website tab and paste it on your page, then share the bracket link. Rounds advance automatically as results are entered, so you are not updating a spreadsheet between games.
What you get with the Common Ninja March Madness Bracket Maker
Prediction scoring and a leaderboard
Entries are scored as results come in and participants are ranked automatically. That combination is what makes it a pool rather than just a bracket people look at.
Automatic round advancement
Winners move through the bracket as results are entered, so you are not redrawing the next round by hand while sixty people are refreshing the page.
Signup page and shareable brackets
Participants add themselves rather than emailing you, and the bracket has a link you can drop into a group chat, a newsletter, or a social post to pull entries in.
Layouts, export, and custom CSS
Several bracket layouts and ready-made styles, export to image or PDF for a recap post or a printout, and custom CSS so the bracket matches your site rather than looking bolted on.

Quick answers
Open the editor, set up the matchups, pick a layout and style, then switch on the signup page and predictions so people can enter. Copy the embed snippet onto your page and share the link. Do it before the first round, because entries all arrive in the first day or two.
Use this one for a March Madness pool, where the point is people submitting predictions, being scored, and appearing on a leaderboard. Use the general Bracket Maker when you are running an actual tournament and advancing real results, or when the format is not a March Madness pool at all: round robin, group stage, double elimination, and so on.
Yes, that is the point of it. Each participant submits their own picks, the scoring system rates them as results come in, and the leaderboard ranks everyone. That is what turns a bracket into a pool.
Switch on the signup page and participants add themselves, rather than emailing you their picks for you to enter by hand. Share the bracket link in a group chat, a newsletter, or a post and entries come in on their own.
Rounds advance automatically as results are entered, so you are not redrawing the next round by hand. You still enter the results, which is the one job that cannot be automated away.
Before the field is announced if you can, and certainly before the first games. Interest in bracket pools is compressed into a few days, so a bracket published late misses most of the entries it would otherwise have had. It is the single biggest practical factor in how well a pool does.
Yes. A prizes section makes the stakes visible on the same page as the bracket, and the champion can be highlighted when the tournament finishes, which is also the moment worth exporting as an image for a recap post.
You can, but the general Bracket Maker is the better fit for that, since it covers single and double elimination, round robin, group stage, and four-division formats. Use this page's widget when you want the March Madness pool shape specifically.
