How It Works
Each game eliminates one team. Winners advance, losers are out. After 3 rounds, one team stands as champion. Seeding matters — top seeds are placed to avoid each other until the finals.
Step-by-Step Guide
Enter your team names
Add all 5 team names. Paste a list or enter them one by one. Seeds are assigned automatically — drag to reorder if needed.
Configure the single elimination format
Single elimination: 4 games, 3 rounds. One loss ends your run. Top seeds are spaced so the strongest teams meet in the finals, not the first round.
Add optional matchup constraints
Want to keep rivals apart in early rounds? Need to avoid cross-town travel until the semis? Add constraints before generating — the AI engine places teams accordingly.
