BracketJam

Tournament builder for iPad and iPhone

Every game.
One champion.

BracketJam runs your whole game day. Give every backyard game its own bracket or round robin, tap winners as matches finish, and watch the points add up to one overall champion.

Free to download. BracketJam Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription and no ads.

Set up in minutes. Play all day.

One tournament holds every game you play, each with its own format, players, and house rules.

  1. Make it an occasion.

    Name your tournament, pick a palette, and add your teams. Add the players too, or keep it to teams.

  2. Pick your games.

    Give each game single or double elimination or a round robin, for solo players, partners, groups, or whole teams.

  3. Present and play.

    Open Present and tap a winner to move them on. Undo fixes a slip, and the leaderboard updates as you go.

Live standings

One leaderboard for it all.

Every win scores points for its team, and for each winning player when you track players. Team and player points are set separately, for the whole event or game by game, so the overall standings always add up.

Tap a team on the leaderboard to see its points game by game.

Every format

Brackets worth showing off.

Brackets look like a printed poster, with connector lines, team colors, and players’ photos. Pinch to zoom, drag to look around, and show one side or both.

Single elimination comes with a third-place game. Double elimination has a losers bracket and a grand final, replayed once if it needs to be. Round robin schedules everyone against everyone.

Looks great from the start. Even better with your photos.

Out of the box, every team has its color and symbol and every game its icon. Add team logos, player photos, game art, a tournament logo, and a backdrop of your own with BracketJam Pro.

Out of the box

Team colors, symbols, and game icons, with nothing to set up.

The same Civil War bracket with each team's logo and a backyard photo behind it.

With your photos

The same bracket with team logos, game art, and your own backdrop.

Player cards

Everyone gets a trading card.

Players appear as trading cards with their photo, team, and stats: points, wins, losses, and a batting-average winning percentage. Turn a card over for its game-by-game log.

Players are optional. A tournament works with teams alone, and player tracking adds rosters, solo and partner games, random groups, and player standings.

Team identity

Give every team character.

Choose a name, colors, and a symbol for every team. With BracketJam Pro, add a logo and a victory song that can play when the team or its players win.

Every bracket block takes its team’s identity, so everyone can spot their side from across the yard.
