Understanding Tournament Seeding
Standard Seeding Order
Uses the same seeding pattern as real single-elimination tournaments, so the top seeds can only meet in later rounds.
Automatic Byes
When the participant count isn't a power of two, top seeds automatically receive a bye into the next round, exactly as in real brackets.

Instant & Private
The bracket is generated entirely in your browser — your participant list is never sent to a server.
What Is a Bye?
When the number of participants isn't an exact power of two (like 8, 16, or 32), some players or teams need a 'bye' — an automatic pass into the next round without playing a match. Byes are always given to the highest seeds, which is why proper seeding order matters even for the very first round.
Key Takeaways
- Standard Bracket Math: Follows the same seeding order used in real single-elimination tournaments.
- Automatic Byes: Non-power-of-two participant counts are handled automatically with top-seed byes.
- Client-Side Only: All generation happens locally in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server.
