About this app

BracketBOSS is purpose-built for running tournament pools with your friends — six major tournaments, one app, real-time scoring, and feature depth other bracket apps simply do not ship. Free to play with one optional upgrade for power users.

EVERY MAJOR TOURNAMENT IN ONE APP
Most bracket apps cover a single tournament. BracketBOSS covers six. World Cup 2026 is live now; NFL Playoffs, NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, MLB Postseason, and the College Football Playoff unlock automatically when each tournament begins. One app, one friend list, one rolling season-long competition.

WORLD CUP, YOUR WAY
Pick Full Bracket (group stage and knockouts) or skip directly to Knockout-only — your call, per pool. Group-stage points and knockout points are tracked separately on the leaderboard, so early rounds always matter and late joiners are not punished for missing them. No other bracket app handles World Cup formats this cleanly.

MULTI-ENTRY POOLS
With the Remove Ads upgrade, each player can submit more than one bracket per pool — hedge your picks with chalk and chaos, run a personal best-of-N, or just compete with yourself. Entries appear as "Bobby", "Bobby-1", "Bobby-2" on the leaderboard, each scored independently. Most bracket apps lock you to a single bracket per user. BracketBOSS does not.

INVITES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Pull players straight from your iPhone Contacts with the native picker — dedupe is automatic. Send invites by Mail or Messages with one tap; composers open pre-filled, you review and hit send. Quick Share routes to any installed app (WhatsApp, AirDrop, group iMessage, Telegram) with one button. Custom invite messages — spell out entry rules, deadlines, prize structure — save and re-use every time you re-share the pool.

PICKS STAY PRIVATE UNTIL LOCK
Player picks are hidden from everyone — including the pool manager — until the pool locks. No copying, no second-guessing, no "wait, how did everyone pick the same upset?" When the lock timestamp hits, every bracket reveals at once and scoring kicks in.

REAL-TIME SCORING
Leaderboard updates the instant a game ends. See who called the upset, who is running away with it, who is mathematically eliminated. Tap any row to view that player's full bracket. Multi-entry pools show each entry on its own row, with the suffix that tells you which is which.

MANAGER TOOLS DONE RIGHT
Approve or reject players with one tap. Remove no-shows before lock. Flip on multi-entry with one toggle. Do not want to play yourself? Manage as a neutral tournament director — opt out of picking, just run the show. Re-invite players any time before lock from a dedicated share sheet, not just at creation time.

NATIVE iOS, BUILT FOR iPHONE
Pure SwiftUI. Real Firestore syncing under the hood. Haptics that feel right. No webview wrapping a website. No "download our app for the best experience" friction. Designed for iOS 16 and up.
