How to Use the Tournament Bracket Generator
This bracket generator takes a list of participant names, shuffles them randomly, and builds a complete single-elimination bracket from Round 1 to the Final. If the number of participants is not a power of 2 (4, 8, 16, 32), BYE slots are added automatically so participants matched against a BYE advance without playing.
Ideal for sports tournaments, office game events, school sports days, board game nights, and any competitive activity where fair random seeding matters. Click Regenerate any time to produce a new random draw from the same list.
BYE Slot Handling
With 5 participants, the bracket is sized for 8 players and 3 BYE slots are added. BYE positions are randomly placed to maintain fairness. Participants paired with a BYE move straight to the next round.
