Printable tournament brackets
Every bracket layout on this site prints from your browser's own print command. There is no file to download, no sign-up, and nothing stamped across the sheet. Open any size from 3 to 32 teams below, press print, and you have a bracket for the clipboard or the gym wall.
What actually prints
Be clear on what this is, because plenty of sites promise more than they hand over. Roundra never writes a bracket file for you. There is no generator that produces one and no button that hands one over. What there is instead is a print stylesheet on every page. When you print with Ctrl+P on Windows or Cmd+P on Mac, the site header, the navigation, and the footer are removed from the sheet, and the bracket unfolds out of the side-scrolling box it sits in on screen, so every round reaches the paper instead of being cut off at the edge of the window.
The rest of the page prints along with the bracket. A layout page also carries its heading, its summary line, the round and match counts, and the written explanation underneath, so a bracket sheet is usually the first page of a two or three page print. The print preview in your browser shows you exactly how it breaks, and every browser lets you narrow the job to a page range: pick the page the bracket lands on and print only that. That same dialog has a Save as PDF destination if you want a file to email rather than a sheet of paper, which is your browser doing the work, not Roundra.
The prebuilt layouts are deliberately blank. Slots are filled with placeholder names, Team 1 up to Team N in seed order for a field of N, and later rounds simply show which match feeds them, so the printed sheet is something to write real names onto by hand. Where a field does not fill the draw, the byes are printed as byes rather than hidden. If you want your real team names printed instead, open the free bracket builder, enter your teams, and use its Print button. Print is a free export there, and the free tier covers single elimination up to 8 teams. The builder's print output is the tidier one, because its toolbar and controls drop off the sheet too.
Three tips for a clean sheet
- Wide brackets want landscape paper. A single elimination draw of about 8 teams still fits portrait, but larger fields and every double elimination layout add columns and print better landscape. Set the orientation in your browser's print dialog before you commit paper to it.
- The round robin pages are the exception. They print as a plain table of round number and matchup rather than a tree, so they stay narrow and simply run long. Print a second copy and you have a sheet to write results onto as the rounds finish.
- Not sure of your final head count? Byes absorb a late dropout in an elimination bracket, but printing the size above and the size below costs one extra sheet and saves a reprint on the day.
Printable single elimination brackets
The classic knockout tree, one column per round. A small field is only two or three columns wide and sits happily on portrait paper; the bigger sizes get wide, so switch to landscape.
Printable double elimination brackets
The winners bracket, the losers bracket, and the grand final all print as one continuous set of columns. These layouts are the widest on the site, so choose landscape at every size.
Printable round robin schedules
Not a tree at all: this is a two-column table of round number and matchup, one row per game. It stays narrow at every field size, so portrait is the right choice.
