Brackets Manager video tutorials.

Choose a tutorial for the job at hand

Start with Creating Brackets to set up a tournament and add its participants. The playlist also covers pool play, assigning tables, match controls, and the steps for recording results as the event moves forward.

Use the settings videos when you need help with appearance, notifications, or a secondary display. Player and operator tool videos explain connected Pro workflows; the three complimentary Basic brackets are run locally from the Windows command center.

Each video can be opened from the playlist. You can pause, replay a step, or move directly to another topic without watching the full series in order.

A practical tournament setup workflow

Use the tutorials as a reference while you prepare an event. The Windows command center keeps the setup and match work together, so organizers can move from the player list to results without piecing the event together across separate tools.

1. Set up the event and enter players. Start with the Creating Brackets video, then review the settings topics that match your venue and event.
2. Choose a supported format and seed the field. Brackets Manager supports single elimination, double elimination, round robin, and pool play. The Pool Play tutorial walks through the pool workflow.
3. Assign tables and manage matches. Use Assigning Tables and Match Menu Options to follow the event as matches advance.
4. Record results and share the right tools. The Windows app is the local command center. Live web brackets, online signup and scoring, and browser-based player and operator tools require a paid Pro bracket.

Eligible new Windows installations include three complimentary Basic brackets, each for a complete local tournament. Basic brackets run locally; connected Pro features are optional for events that need them.
