Youth sports tournaments made simple
Draw up the bracket for a basketball, soccer or baseball tournament in seconds — paste the team names, hit generate, and tap a name to advance each winner. Send parents the share link instead of photographing a whiteboard between games.
Streaming a tournament?
Export the bracket as an image for your stream's between-match screens, then run a KeepTheScore board as the live scoreboard — it works as a browser source in OBS, Streamlabs and vMix, so the score on your broadcast updates as you tap it in.
Club and rec league playoffs
Seed teams by regular-season record, or let the generator randomise the draw. Byes are worked out for you when your team count isn't a power of two, so a 12- or 20-team playoff still produces a balanced bracket.
Print it, pin it, or put it on the big screen
Print the bracket for the noticeboard at your venue, export a PNG for the group chat, or open the share link on any TV or projector with a browser so spectators can see who plays next.
Running an office or team tournament?
Organizing a ping-pong tournament at work, a trivia bracket night or any other competition? Rise, our sister product for tournaments, runs the bracket live: enter each score and the winner moves on by itself.
Tournament Bracket FAQ
"We use Keepthescore.com to update our livestream through OBS and it is FLAWLESS. I chose it because it was the easiest to incorporate into OBS and easiest to update. No installation needed, just adding a simple weblink and you're up and running!"
"The scoreboard works amazingly well with OBS. Our scorekeeper has been very happy with how simple it is to operate and keep track. We have the output ran to a large TV and the audience is able to easily see the team names and score throughout our game."
"We are very happy that we found keepthescore.com. As a recreational Baseball & Softball Team we were looking for an affordable digital Scoreboard for our games. The digital board makes it so much easier for our spectators and players to keep track of the action on the field."
"I use Keepthescore for my son's high school ultimate frisbee game streaming. It works great. Very easy to use and I love that another parent can keep score while I'm busy with the video streaming. The interface is so easy that you only need about 30 seconds to train up a new user!"
"I've tricked a lot of people into thinking we're a professional organization by the way our scoreboard looks."
"It's such an easy tool to use. My 6-year-old nephew was able to do it. It had a tournament logo on it, it had all the tournament colors that matched how the club looked."
"There is so much complexity in live-streaming already. Just having the scoreboard be clean and simple and work well and easily — anyone can figure it out — is hugely appreciated."
