What is a Bracket Template?
A Bracket Template is a visual tool used to organize and track competitions, tournaments, or processes with multiple rounds. Commonly used in sports events and gaming tournaments, a bracket template shows the matchups or pairings between participants, progressing through rounds until a final winner is determined. Bracket templates help keep the tournament structure clear and organized, providing a visual overview of each stage and the outcomes. It’s useful for both organizers and viewers, as it simplifies tracking each matchup, allows for real-time updates, and clearly presents the advancing competitors until the final round. In Creately, the bracket template can be customized for any tournament or competition format, allowing you to build single-elimination, double-elimination, or custom brackets that suit your event.
