A full weekend tournament. Five rounds, 31 matches — print this on ledger (11×17) or tile two letter-size pages for a wall bracket. 5 rounds, 31 matches.
Hit Print and fill in names by hand. Every match slot has a faint baseline so your handwriting stays level. If you want results to update live — multiple people filling in winners on their phones from the same bracket — create an interactive version using the button above.
A 32-team single elimination bracket has 5 rounds and 31 total matches. Every team except the champion loses exactly once — that's the single-elimination invariant.
Round 1 has 16 matches. The bracket narrows to 16, then 8, then 4, then the final.
If your field isn't exactly 32 teams, fill some slots with "BYE" — whichever team is matched against a BYE automatically advances.
Standard seeding pairs the highest seed with the lowest, working inward. Enter teams in bracket seed order (1, opposite-end, etc.) for proper cross-bracket placement. Seeds 1 and 2 end up on opposite halves, meeting only in the final if both advance.
