Live Tournament Brackets Are Coming
Rise turns a bracket into a live event: every match gets a real-time scoreboard, winners advance automatically, and everyone follows along from their phones. Join the waitlist and be first in when it launches.
The full platform is still being built — the free single-elimination bracket maker is live today as a first taste.
What We're Building
Every bracket tool gives you the same thing: a static diagram. Rise is built around a different idea — the bracket itself should be live.
A Live Scoreboard on Every Match
Click any match and a real-time scoreboard opens — points, sets, game clock, whatever your sport counts. When the match ends, the winner advances automatically. No copying results around, no shouting across the venue. No other bracket maker connects the two.
The Formats Organizers Actually Use
Single elimination, double elimination with winners and losers brackets tracked side by side, and round robin with automatic standings. Serious formats, without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
Brackets That Look Broadcast-Ready
Team logos, custom themes, and a design that holds up on a big screen — whether that's an esports stream or the TV at your local bar. Your Tuesday-night league deserves better than a whiteboard.
While You Wait: the Free Bracket Maker Is Live
The first piece of Rise is already out. Our free online bracket maker builds a single-elimination tournament bracket in seconds — enter your teams, then share, print, or export it. No account, no paywall, no ads. It's a small slice of what Rise will be, but it'll run your tournament today.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rise?
Rise is a tournament platform currently in development. The idea is simple: a bracket shouldn't be a static image. Every match gets a live scoreboard, winners advance automatically, and players and spectators follow it all from one shared link. The free bracket maker is the first piece — the live platform is what comes next.
When does Rise launch?
We're building and releasing Rise in stages through 2026. The free single-elimination bracket maker is live today; double elimination, round robin, live scoreboards, and streaming overlays follow. Waitlist members get access to each feature before everyone else.
What can I use right now?
The free bracket maker — single elimination for 2 to 128 participants, with automatic seeding and byes. You can share a link, export an image, or print your bracket, all without an account. There are also printable round robin schedules for 4 to 16 teams.
Is the bracket maker really free?
Yes. Free, no signup, no hidden limits. When the full platform arrives, advanced live features will be part of a Pro tier — but the core bracket maker stays free.
What do I get for joining the waitlist?
Early access. We email you when each feature launches, before it opens up to everyone. That's the whole deal — no newsletters, no spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
