Bring your contenders
Add people, teams, films, snacks or ideas, one per line. Give your tournament a name and create the bracket. The names are shuffled before pairing, so the order you typed them in does not decide who gets a bye.

🏆 From a list to a little final
Play one match at a time
The wheel shows the two current contenders. Spin to choose a winner, who moves into the next round. Follow the highlighted match in the bracket; a check marks every settled winner. Each click plays one match, so you set the pace.
Meet your champion
Keep going through the rounds to the final. Download the whole bracket, copy its results or save a link. You can also save halfway through and let a friend continue a separate copy.
✨ Give an ordinary list a final
A tournament for your teams
Already divided everyone into groups? The team generator can send 4–32 completed teams straight here. It is a playful random simulation; real match results are not being measured.
Movie-night playoffs
Put the films you would actually watch into a bracket and follow their head-to-head matches. For dinner decisions, start with ideas from the food wheel. A smaller shortlist keeps the evening moving.
A classroom or party reveal
Turn a list of mascots, drawing prompts or friendly team names into a shared countdown to the final. Need several separate winners from one list? Use the multiple-winner picker instead.
🌿 An uneven list still fits
You do not need exactly 4, 8, 16 or 32 entries. With another count, the bracket uses the next of those sizes and gives some contenders an automatic first-round advance, called a bye. Five names, for example, need three byes and four played matches in total.
Every played match gives its two contenders equal chances. A bye means one fewer match to win, so paths through an already drawn bracket can differ. Names are shuffled before byes are assigned. Recreating the bracket makes a fresh draw; it does not preserve earlier results.
📎 Keep the story of the tournament
Completed matches stay in this browser when local storage is available. Reloading during a spin restores the last settled match; an unfinished animation is not recorded. You can edit the setup at any time between spins, then explicitly create a new bracket when ready.
Save and get a link stores a fixed snapshot online, including an unfinished bracket. Find it in My wheels. Visitors play their own copy, and further spins do not update the old link. Save again to share the new state. The image download includes all rounds; shared results are a record supplied by the browser, not an independently verified draw.
🤔 Before the next match
Can I change the names after a tournament?
Yes. Edit the title and participant list, then press Create bracket. If a bracket already exists, you will be asked before replacing it. Previously saved links keep their original names and results.
Why is a participant already through?
That is a bye, used to fit a list into a complete bracket. It happens only in round one and is marked Automatic advance. No spin is needed for that pairing.
Can I give a stronger team better odds?
Tournament matches always use equal chances. For a single choice with custom probabilities, try the weighted wheel. Tournament outcomes do not predict real sporting ability.
Can I combine different kinds of choices?
For a character, a setting and a style in one result, try linked wheels. A tournament takes one list and narrows it down through matches to one champion.
