Pickyroo

🏆 Battle Royale

A knockout bracket that plays itself, one tie at a time.

How to play Battle Royale

  1. Names are drawn into a fresh bracket every time — nobody is permanently in the easy half.
  2. If the numbers do not divide neatly, byes are handed out at random.
  3. Each tie is decided as it is played, and the bracket fills in behind it.
  4. Up to 32 names, which is five rounds to the final.

Your list is shared across every game on Pickyroo — set it up once here and the wheel, the races and the bracket will all be ready to go with the same names.

Questions

How is each tie decided?

A weighted random pick between those two names only. Weight 2 against weight 1 wins that tie two times out of three.

Who gets the byes?

Whoever the draw gives them to. They are randomised every tournament rather than always landing on the end of your list.

Can I use this for a real tournament draw?

For the draw, yes — it is a fair shuffle. For the results, obviously play the actual matches.
