Ask these of any tool
Whichever you pick, test these before the day. Our answers are on the right.
Can it lay matches across your real courts and time slots?
Yes. Matches are laid across your fields a round at a time, so no team is on two courts in the same round. There is no rest-gap logic.
Does the table update itself when a score is saved?
Yes. Standings recompute on every saved result, on 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw.
Has it run an event the size of yours?
Tournamyx ran a 406-team event with 755 matches across six categories, in July 2025.
Common questions

Is there a free alternative to BracketHQ?
The bracket generators on this site are free and unlimited with no account and no email. Running the same bracket live with scores and a public link is free for events up to 8 participants.
What should I compare bracket tools on?
Open the public view on a phone and time how long it takes to answer “when and where am I on next”. Then check whether a saved result updates everyone’s screen or only yours, and whether anything has to be installed.
Do spectators need an account to see the bracket?
No. Every Tournamyx event has one public link that opens in any browser with no login and no install, showing the schedule, live bracket and results. Accounts are only needed by people entering scores or editing the event.
Is there an app to download?
No. Tournamyx is a web application at scores.tournamyx.com and runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone. There is nothing to install for organizers, scorers or spectators.
Can more than one person enter scores?
Yes. Roles are assigned per tournament, so a scorer can enter results without being able to edit the draw or access your other events. Several courts can be scored at the same time by different people.
Can I share the event link before the tournament starts?
Yes. The public URL exists from the moment the event is created, so it can go on the entry form and the poster, and it stays the same address throughout the event.
Can I still print a bracket?
Yes. There is a free printable bracket generator on this site for blank or filled draws, and a live event exports print-ready match schedules and blank scoresheets per court as PDFs.
