How can an online tournament bracket be created?
You may be wondering, how to set up an online tournament bracket? Which tools do I need? It couldn’t be easier. Register for free at Easypromos and start setting up a new promotion using the Tournament Bracket App (available with the White Label and Corporate plan).
Once you’ve selected this option, use the editor to configure the promotion to your liking. You can start by setting up the welcome page with all the information about the tournament: your brand logo, participation dates, prize(s), entry requirements, etc.
Then you can go to the “Design” tab and set the color of the buttons, add a background image, set the promotion typography, and so on.
Once you’ve customized the tournament with an eye-catching corporate design, it’s time to set up the login and the registration form. You’ll find two tabs in the editor for modifying these sections. When configuring the login we suggest you make it as straightforward as possible for your target audience so they can log in quickly and easily. When setting up the registration form make sure you use the fields to identify the participating users and contact them. We also recommend adding the alias field so that participants can give themselves a nickname for the tournament ranking table.
Next, you can configure the different days and matches of the tournament. When editing the different sections, you can upload images for each team, enter their names, sort the matches by groups, configure the tournament visuals… the possibilities are endless!
Finally, finish setting up the different sections of your online contest by filling in the following sections: prizes (with the different prizes that you offer), terms and conditions, promotion footer, social networks section, automatic emails for participants, etc.
