From seeding to trophy

How a tournament runs.

  1. 1

    Seed the field.

    Drop in your teams. 4, 8, 16, 32. Manually rank them or let the bracket randomize. Persistent team identities stick across every match.

  2. 2

    Generate the bracket.

    Pick a format: single-elim, double-elim with a losers bracket, or round-robin where every team plays every team. Bracket renders. Public display URL drops in your hand.

  3. 3

    Run each match as its own game.

    Trivia round, Brainpardy duel, Lightning showdown, whatever. Each match is a real Brainflood game with the team identities pre-loaded.

  4. 4

    Match ends. Bracket auto-advances.

    Final scores report back. Winner moves up. Public display flips. Tiebreaker rules (W/L, then point-diff, then points-for) handle close calls without a host argument.

  5. 5

    Crown the champion.

    Final round, trophy graphic on the display, bragging rights for a season. Re-seed the same teams next quarter and run it again.

What makes it shine

Built for hosts who run leagues.

Most trivia software treats each night as a one-off. Tournaments treat eight weeks as one event with a real arc.

🥇

Persistent team identities

"The Brainiacs" stays "The Brainiacs" across every match. Same colors, same logo, same regulars. Records build over weeks.

📊

Auto bracket generation

Pick the format, pick the team count, you're done. Single-elim, double-elim with losers bracket, full round-robin. We handle byes and odd-team padding.

📺

Public bracket display

Big-screen display URL. Live matches glow. Completed matches show scores. Walk-ins can see exactly where the league stands at a glance.

Auto-advance from match scores

Match wraps. Winner pops up to the next slot. No manual bracket bookkeeping, no pen-and-paper sheet pinned to the wall.

🎯

Tiebreaker logic, built in

Round-robin gets messy with three teams at 4-1. Brainflood resolves with W/L → head-to-head → point-differential → points-for. No spreadsheet, no debate.

🎮

Any mode, any match

Round 1 is classic trivia. Quarters are Brainpardy. Final is Lightning. Mix modes across rounds for variety. Same bracket, different formats.

🗓️

Drop into a modular event

A tournament round is just an Activity inside an Event. So a tournament night can also include a karaoke set, a slideshow, and a poll on the same calendar slot. The venue projector cycles bracket display, leaderboard, and karaoke queue from one URL. No second laptop, no second host.

Where it works

Anywhere with regulars.

Tournaments need a returning crowd. They reward venues that already have a Tuesday trivia night and want to take it up a notch.

Plan availability

Tournaments live on the Business plan.

$99/mo Business. Includes everything Pro has, plus Tournaments, 10 venues, 500 players, unlimited AI, and white-label branding. Built for operators running leagues across multiple rooms.
