  Question  Multiple Brackets in Tournament  
Hi,
Just purchased Tournament Builder Pro, and am hoping that I am missing something...

I attempted to build my tournament, but I can not find any way to create more than one bracket. The main purpose of the software is to schedule a tournament, and I will be scheduling both boys and girls events (separate brackets for each) at the same gym.

Please tell me that I am missing something obvious...??
Is there a way to schedule a Tournament, instead of a bracket?

Thanks,

    Hi,

    I haven't actually heard of someone doing 2 separate tournaments as a "bracket" or typical double elimination. Is this by chance a double elimination tournament with boys and girls or, are you doing a "pool" play type tournament say where each team plays 3 or more games?

    Can you send us a copy of the tournament/bracket you have now?   We may be able to come up with a work around depending on what you're trying to do.

      Question  Re: Multiple Brackets in Tournament  
    I am running a single elimination tournament.
    All games are played in a single gym. It is not pool play.

    In the tournament are several divisions (brackets):

    Varsity Girls
    Varsity Boys
    JV Girls
    GV Boys
    ...

    There will be one winner for each bracket (division).

    The reason I purchased the software was so that I could avoid the headache of scheduling all of these events and managing the conflicts.

    In my first attempt to do this with Tournament Builder Pro, I was only able to create a Single bracket (division).

    I do not see a way to share the gym across more than one bracket (division).

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks for the help...

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay. The feature isn't available with our software but I wanted to double check with one of my co-workers who does brackets all the time. He happened to be on vacation. Anyway, he confirmed that TB Pro cannot be used to do multiple brackets. You could do separate brackets and copy/paste into 1 sheet but there is no way to use the "wizard" do what you're asking.   He looked for other bracket software and couldn't find any that do what you're asking for double elimination type brackets.
