Swiss bracket generator

Swiss pairings calculated automatically

Enter your players and the generator pairs opponents with the same record every round. No manual sorting, no accidental rematches, and byes are handled when the count is odd.

Perfect for card games, chess and esports

Swiss rounds keep everyone playing until the final standings are decided, making it ideal for TCGs, fighting games, chess clubs and community events where single elimination feels too harsh.

Live scores for players and viewers

Share one public link: participants see their next match, spectators follow the scores live, and streamers can add the transparent overlay to OBS or Twitch in a click.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Swiss system work?

Every player plays the same number of rounds. In each round, participants are paired against others with a similar win/loss record, so matches stay competitive and no one is knocked out after one bad game.

How many rounds should a Swiss tournament have?

The generator recommends the right number of rounds for your player count. A common rule is log₂ of the number of players, rounded up, which usually produces one clear winner.

Can I run a Swiss tournament with an odd number of players?

Yes. When the count is odd, one player receives a bye each round and is awarded the win points configured for the event.

Is it free?

Generating and previewing your Swiss bracket is free, and every account starts with 2 tournaments to publish and share.
