Knockout & Double Knockout Brackets

Single elimination for a fast weekend cup, or double elimination when you want every team to get a second chance - Sportik builds and updates the bracket for you as results come in.

  • Enter your team count and Sportik seeds the bracket, including byes for odd or non-power-of-two counts.
  • Winners advance automatically the moment a match result is entered - no manual bracket editing.
  • Double Knockout adds a loser's bracket: one loss doesn't eliminate you, two does. The grand final pits the winner's-bracket champion against the loser's-bracket champion.
  • Every match links back to the bracket view, so players can trace exactly how they got there.

Knockout vs. Double Knockout

Knockout is best when you need to finish in a single day - one loss and a team is out. Double Knockout takes longer to play out but is fairer to teams that have one bad match, since they drop into a loser's bracket instead of being eliminated outright.
