Who Uses It

PE teachers across grade levels

When They Use It / How It's Used

  • When creating balanced teams and fair tournament brackets for activities, units, or events

  • The tool asks setup questions one at a time: grade level, class roster, generate teams or move to brackets, students with physical limitations or different ability levels to consider, and how many students per team

What It Delivers/Produces

Team Generation:

  • List of teams in table format showing team number and student first and last names

  • Accounts for odd numbers by including an extra student rather than fewer

  • Asks for edits based on student combinations

Bracket Generation: Four bracket types available:

  1. Single Elimination – Best for time-limited classes and quick tournaments

  2. Double Elimination – For competitive activities where students get a second chance

  3. Round Robin – For smaller groups where everyone plays everyone

  4. Pool Play plus Playoffs – For larger classes divided into pools with bracket winners advancing

Bracket features: clear text-based bracket trees, match numbers, a separate Results Tracking section, estimated time requirements, automatic bye assignments, and pool play suggestion for classes of 25 or more.

District Impact

Saves PE teachers time on logistics, ensures equitable and inclusive team formation, and creates fair competitive structures that keep all students engaged and participating.
