Quick rules

How to use this sheet

  1. Choose 4–16 players. The sheet expands to the next complete bracket size—4, 8, or 16 slots—and adds the required BYEs automatically.
  2. Write participant names on the Player lines, then pair the opening lines from top to bottom: line 1 plays line 2, line 3 plays line 4, and so on.
  3. A participant paired with BYE advances automatically without playing a match. No opening matchup contains two BYEs.
  4. After each match, write the winner on the aligned line in the next column. Pair those lines from top to bottom for the next round.
  5. Continue through each labeled round and write the final winner on the CHAMPION line.
