Anyone know where I can find one. I am all googled out. I am doing a tournament on Saturday for 5-10 ppl.
I went to www.bracketmaker.com and it doesn't have what I need. All of the other sites are pay $49.95 for software. Errrrr.

Oh yeah, I need it to be single elimination.

TIA to anyone who can help!

Do you just need blank brackets to print out?

You mean the flowchart type things where you fill in the blank where A plays B, C play D and E plays F, then the winner of A/B plays the winner of C/D and so forth and so on till there is only 1 player left?

I've run playing in and running tournaments for 20 years, so I'll give you a little tournament bracket 101 course:

Brackets are based on doubling starting at 2. 2 X 2 = 4, 4 X 2 = 8, 8 X 2 = 16, etc. You use the bracket that is the next higher than the number of people you have. If 7 show up, you would use the 8 bracket - 6 people play in the first round and 1 has a bye to the next round. If 9 show up, you go to the 16 bracket - 2 people play in the first round and 7 have a bye to the next round. The purpose of the first round is to get down to one of the doubling numbers: 16, 8, 4, 2. In the 9 example, you have one more than the 8 needed, so you have to play 2 people to eliminate 1, thus getting down to 8.

BTW, this one automatically generates brackets based on the number you input: http://www.crowsdarts.com/brackets/playoff-chart.html

Use Excel if you have it. Start the sheet not showing any gridlines and draw your lines using the cell outline. I just finished 3 huge brackets doing that and after a little bit I got it done in no time at all. You can add the names if you have them right there. They turned out great!
