Why Bracket.fyi

You're the organizer. That's who we built for.

No accounts. Ever.

Not for you. Not for your friends. Nobody makes an account, nobody verifies an email, nobody enters a password. Your friends fill out picks with a display name and an emoji. That's it.

Your data stays private

  • No emails collected — from anyone
  • No phone numbers
  • No cross-league profiles
  • No tracking beyond product analytics
  • No ads

Your rules, protected

Once picks lock, they're provably immutable — we use a database trigger, not just a UI hide. If you change scoring rules mid-competition, every participant sees the change and when it happened.

Two links, two responsibilities

Your organizer link is your admin key — keep it private. Your join link is safe to share to any group chat. That's the whole security model — no roles, no permissions matrix, just two links.

Scoring is derived, never stored

We compute scores from picks and results every time — nothing cached, nothing frozen. If results change, scores update. If rules change, scores update. Nobody can secretly rewrite the past.

Free

We're on the free tier of everything. If we ever charge, it'll be for pro features (custom branding, SMS notifications, private multi-league dashboards) — never for the core product.

Made by a real group of friends running our own brackets. If it feels like a corporate SaaS product, we've failed.
