About this app

Bracket Forge builds the competition and then runs it, which is more than most bracket tools bother with.

Setup asks for the format first, because everything follows from it: single elimination, round robin, or groups feeding a knockout stage. Enter the teams and the structure is generated correctly, byes included, without you drawing anything.

The bracket screen is interactive. Tap a fixture, put the score in, and the winner advances immediately -- the next round redraws itself and the path to the final updates. Running a tournament from a phone on the touchline is the case this is designed for, so score entry is two taps and no dialog boxes.

Standings compute themselves from the results you enter: points, goal difference, form, and a scorers list that ranks the players who are actually deciding matches. Round robin tables and group tables use the same engine, so a mid-competition table is always current.

Export turns the bracket into a shareable image or a print-ready document for pinning up.

Bracket Forge is fully offline. No account, no purchases, no ads on the sheet. Just a format, a scoreline and a bracket that redraws itself.
