Setting up a knockout bracket usually means twenty minutes of typing team names before anything fun happens. This preset loads sixteen world-famous clubs with seeds already set — press start, play the rounds, and crown a champion in minutes.
Step-by-step for the cup
- Review the sixteen preloaded clubs; swap in your league’s teams if the group follows one competition.
- Choose seeding (ordered, shuffled, or pots) and start the tournament.
- Play each round by picking winners; the bracket advances automatically.
- Share the finished bracket as the official record.
Fair by construction
Seeds decide who meets whom, and manual seeding quietly advantages the organizer’s favourites. Shuffled seeding draws with the browser’s Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), so every club has an identical path distribution. Byes auto-advance transparently when the field is not a power of two.
Customizing the list
- Replace the clubs with national teams before a World Cup.
- Shrink to eight clubs for a quick office cup.
- Enable pots to keep top seeds apart in round one.
- For group stages instead of knockouts, use the tournament groups.
Practical tips
- Agree the seeding mode before starting — no re-seeds mid-cup.
- Export the bracket after every round for dispute-proof records.
- Project the bracket live for office tournaments.
- To assign the same clubs to people first, spin the quiniela wheel.
