Add your list of participants (players, teams, whatever you're pairing up) and Rifael randomly draws the first round's matchups. If the number of participants is odd, one of them gets a bye into the next round, just like a real tournament bracket. From there, it automatically builds out the full structure through to the final — quarterfinals, semifinals, final — with the later rounds' slots marked as "winner of match X," ready to fill in as the real matches get played.
Built for five-a-side football tournaments, padel, office ping-pong, games nights with friends, or any knockout competition where you want the starting bracket to be unbiased and not picked by hand.
The bracket can also be scheduled to reveal live, round by round, at a specific time, shared as a single link.
What happens if the number of participants is odd?
One of them gets a bye straight into the next round without playing in round one, exactly like a real tournament bracket.
Does it also generate the results of later rounds?
No, it only draws the real matchups for round one — later rounds stay as placeholders ("winner of match X") waiting for the actual games to be played.
How many participants can it handle?
There's no strict limit; it works well both for a small bracket and for a large one with several rounds.
