Questions
How many games is a single elimination softball bracket?
One fewer than the number of teams. An 8 team bracket is 7 games and a 16 team bracket is 15.
What happens when the number of teams is not 4, 8, 16 or 32?
Some teams get a bye in the first round. The byes are placed for you and go to the top seeds.
Can I switch to double elimination later?
Yes. Change the playoff format and the bracket and schedule are rebuilt. Do it before the playoffs start.
Is it free?
It is free to start. A Free account runs 1 event at a time with up to 16 teams, 4 fields and 15 days, with schedules, brackets, live scores and an event page. Pro and Max raise those limits and remove ads, and can be bought for a single weekend.
Do teams and players need an app or an account?
No. The event is one link that opens in the browser on any phone or PC. Anyone can look at the schedule, bracket and standings without signing in.
Does the site collect entry fees or pay out prize money?
No. Organizers collect entry fees and pay prizes their own way. The site can show the fee and the prize pool on the event page, but the money never goes through it.
