- How much does it cost?
- Your first tournament is completely free — no credit card required. After that, it's $2 per bracket (weight class), or $2 per team for duals. One-time payment per tournament, no subscriptions.
- Can I set everything up before paying?
- Yes. Create your tournament, add all your divisions, enter participants, and generate brackets — all for free. You only pay when you're ready to activate and go live.
- Do spectators need an account?
- Never. Public bracket pages are free, no login, no app download, and no subscription. Just share the link or let them scan the QR code on your printed brackets.
- How do parents see live results?
- Share the public tournament link or print brackets with the built-in QR code. Parents scan it with their phone camera and see live results — brackets update automatically as you record scores.
- What formats are supported?
- BracketBoard is built for wrestling. We support single elimination, double elimination, and round robin (pools up to 8) — plus single dual meets and multi-team dual tournaments. Single and double elim handle up to 256 wrestlers per bracket; weight class presets cover NFHS (High School), NCAA (College), and UWW (Freestyle/International).
- Can I run a multi-day tournament?
- Yes. When creating a tournament you can set both a start and end date. The public page will display the full date range.
- Can I import participants from a spreadsheet?
- Yes. You can paste names directly or upload a CSV file. The bulk entry tool handles both individual entry and batch imports.
- Can I edit brackets after going live?
- Yes. You can record results, edit scores, and manage participants while your tournament is active. Once you mark the tournament as complete, editing is locked — but you can reopen it if needed.
- What if I need to disqualify or mark an athlete as injured?
- Each participant can be flagged as disqualified (DQ) or injured directly from the bracket management page. Their matches will show the appropriate badge.
