Create an Event How to set it up

What it does

Most tools stop at a group stage, or make you assemble the playoff bracket by hand. Brakto treats pools and playoffs as one tournament structure: teams advance from pool results into seeded playoff brackets, with consolation brackets for the teams that do not advance and championship divisions layered on top.

What you get

Configurable advancement

Choose how many teams advance per pool, and whether pools cross over into each other.

Auto-seeded from results

Playoff seeding is generated from pool standings — no manual bracket building.

Consolation brackets

Teams that miss the cut get their own bracket rather than going home after one loss.

Flighted playoffs

Split the playoff field into flights by strength so mismatches are avoided.

Who this is for

Multi-day events, club championships and leagues that need a group stage before knockouts.
