How to Run a Classroom Tournament

Running a class competition used to mean a whiteboard bracket that someone inevitably smudged. With a shareable live bracket, the whole class can follow the progress on the projector and parents can watch from home without downloading anything or creating an account.

Works for any competition that can be decided head-to-head: spelling bees, vocabulary battles, mental math rounds, trivia knock-outs, debate match-ups, reading comprehension challenges, or just a fun 'would you rather' vote. Enter the student names, generate the bracket in seconds, and tap winners as each round finishes.

BYEs are placed automatically if your class size isn't a power of 2 — so 22 students generates a clean 32-slot bracket with 10 automatic first-round passes. The bracket works for 2 up to 128 participants, covering everything from a single classroom to a school-wide tournament or inter-class championship.

After the competition, share the champion card with the class and with parents via the built-in link. The bracket history stays live so students can look back at every result. Teachers have used it for end-of-year class tournaments, house competitions, and subject-based challenges where the stakes are low but the excitement is high.
