Frequently asked questions

What if the number of players is odd?

The bracket fills to the next power of two with byes, which go to the top seeds. With 6 players, two get a free pass into round two, and the rest play round one.

How do I seed the strongest players?

List players in seed order if the tool follows your order, so the top seeds meet later. Otherwise rearrange names before you create the bracket.

Can I fix a winner I clicked by mistake?
