How this format works

A compact tournament with quarterfinals, semifinals and a final.

Eight entrants fit a full first round. Enter seeds or teams in the order you want paired.

Choose a bracket for a community basketball event, then replace the sample team names with your own. Set game length and courts in the builder before publishing.

Plan your event

For a one-day gym event, count court slots and leave room between a team’s games. A round robin needs substantially more court time than a straight knockout.

Start with 8 sample entrants. Review matchups, advancement and rest time before publishing.
