Bracketology by RackDiscipline
Tournament Bracket Manager
Free · In‑App Purchases
Bracketology from Rack Discipline helps tournament directors keep events moving.
Bracketology is not simply a blank bracket template that you fill in manually. It is event management with a unique, automated workflow.
Designed for iPad and Mac, Bracketology focuses on the real work of running a tournament: setting up the event, registering entrants, checking players in, assigning matches to available locations, recording results, and keeping play flowing. Instead of making you manage the bracket manually, Bracketology guides you through the operational steps that matter during an event.
Whether you are running a small local bracket or a larger tournament, Bracketology gives you a simple, director-friendly workflow so you can spend less time managing paperwork and more time keeping matches on schedule.
The application keeps data in sync across your iPad and Mac, backed by a database stored in iCloud. This makes it easy to prepare your event on one device and run the event from another. You can run the event from your laptop on the main desk, and roam the venue with your iPad, but still manage the event on the move.

New Application Icon to match the Rack Discipline family of apps.
NEW: Match location is shown for in-progress matches in the bracket view.
NEW: Run Event Arrivals column shows a location badge so you can avoid sending entrants to the same location for their next match.
NEW: Double elimination, when win side finalist loses for the first time in the final, you are prompted to play a Final Reset match.
Run Event pages (Departures, In Progress, Arrivals) paginate when larger text sizes need more room; match UI scales better with Dynamic Type.
Reliability improvements for shared events, local persistence, bracket syncing and reliability improvements.
