Results reach everyone, instantly
The moment a result is confirmed, every screen watching that bracket updates live.
Read from a photo
Bring your paper-and-whiteboard tournament straight into the app.
Photograph or upload an existing bracket sheet and Claude reads the entrant names and their order. Handwritten sheets work too.
The names and their order come back on a review screen. Fix anything that came out wrong, mark the seeds, and confirming registers the participants and builds the matchups in one step. Nothing in your tournament changes until you confirm.

Everything a tournament needs

How this is different from other bracket tools
Most tools earn the bulk of their revenue from payment fees when organizers collect entry fees online.
Tournament Scan doesn't have a way to collect entry fees online at all. At school and community tournaments, entry fees are usually collected in cash or through club dues — there's no need for online payment in the middle of that. That's part of why running a tournament here can stay free.
