What Makes BracketBoard Different
Parents Never Pay
Every tournament gets a free public link. Parents open it on their phone — no app download, no account, no subscription. Unlike FloArena, where spectators need a $30/mo FloWrestling subscription to watch their kids wrestle.
Free, Not Per Year
No annual subscriptions. Standard tournaments and duals are free — run one a year or twenty. You only pay when an event exceeds your ruleset's standard weight class count or uses a bracket larger than 16 wrestlers, and then it's $2 per bracket, one time.
Set Up in Minutes, Not Hours
Select a weight class preset (NFHS, NCAA, or UWW), paste your participants, and generate brackets. No training videos, no onboarding calls, no configuration wizard with 50 settings.
Works on Any Device
BracketBoard runs in any browser — phone, tablet, or laptop. Directors enter scores on their phone from the mat. Parents check results on theirs from the stands. No app store, no downloads, no updates.
Parents should never have to pay to watch their kids wrestle.
With BracketBoard, spectators get free, instant access to live brackets. Just share the link or print brackets with the built-in QR code. No app, no login, no subscription — ever.
