Three free tournament brackets

Start with a real bracket, not a limited preview.

Bracket Manager includes three complimentary Basic brackets for eligible new Windows installations. Add players, choose a format, seed the field, record results, and complete each tournament from the desktop command center.

What is included free?

Your three complimentary brackets include local bracket setup and complete tournament operation. Connected features—including website publishing, online signup, remote player and operator controls, and text messaging—require a paid Pro bracket.
