How many entries can I add?
You can add as many entries as you like. Brackets work best at powers of 2 — 4, 8, 16, or 32 entries. If your count doesn't match, the generator pads with byes so real entries are never penalized by empty matchups.
What's the difference between the three pick methods?
You decide lets you click the winner of each matchup yourself — ideal for group debates. Random resolves the entire bracket instantly using a random pick for every match. Spin to decide uses a spin animation to randomly pick the winner of each individual match, adding a theatrical element to each round.
Can I use my own list instead of a template?
Yes — just type or paste your entries directly into the text area, one item per line. Templates are quick-start options pulled from the same curated pools used by the spin-the-wheel page. Templates marked with ∞ draw from a large pool and give you a fresh random lineup every time you click them, so you can press the same template repeatedly for different matchups.
Why does the bracket show a "bye"?
Byes appear when your entry count doesn't fill a power-of-2 bracket. The entry with a bye advances automatically — it didn't win a match, it was just unpaired. Switch to Auto size to generate the smallest bracket that fits your exact entry count.
