How to run, score, and follow a tournament on BracketBoard.
Run a wrestling event end to end: create it, add weight classes and wrestlers, share the public link, and score the day.
On your dashboard, click Create and choose a tournament. The first step asks for the name, sport, Level, location, dates, and number of mats.
The Level is the ruleset — High School (NFHS), College (NCAA), or Freestyle (UWW). It sets the scoring, the periods, and which weight-class presets you get.

Click Add Bracket and pick a weight-class preset (NFHS, NCAA, or UWW) to add a full set at once, or create a custom weight class by name.
Each bracket is single elimination, double elimination, or a round robin.

For each weight class, paste rows from a spreadsheet, upload a CSV, or type them in. Columns are name, team.
Seed assignment is Standard (seed = the order listed), Random, or Custom (drag anyone onto any bracket slot).

The last step previews every bracket exactly as it will be created, byes included. Click Generate to create them and make the event live. Standard-size events are free — see pricing for when a larger one pays.

Click Shareto copy the public link, or send it by text or email. Spectators don't need an account. On-Deck Board opens a screen for the venue TV showing what's next on each mat.

Open Mat Workers and invite one worker per mat by name and email. They get a sign-in link and can score only their own mat — see the Workers tab. With a single mat, every weight class goes on it automatically.

Click a match card, choose the result — decision, major, tech fall, fall, forfeit, DQ, or injury — enter the score, and save. Winners advance automatically and the public bracket updates live.
