Eight teams, two pitches, one phone.
Saturday, 9:58. Somebody is already asking who plays who and nobody has written anything down. This turns the phone in your pocket into the whole tournament desk — draw, fixtures, scoreboard and bracket — before the first whistle goes.
Hold the draw on the touchline
Shake the phone, a ball comes out of the bowl and lands in a group while everyone watches. Seeded sides are drawn first, so the two strongest cannot meet before they should. Try it.
8 balls in the bowl
Group A
Waiting on the draw.
Group B
Waiting on the draw.
Pitch B is running late. It always is.
The schedule lays itself out across your pitches with kick-off times attached. When one pitch slips, you drag the timeline and everything behind it shuffles along. Push the slider and watch the afternoon move.

Swipe up for a goal
One flick on a team's half of the screen, then tap the scorer. The top-scorers race updates itself from there.
Cards out of the pocket
Pull a yellow or a red across and drop it on a player. Anyone a card too far is listed as missing the next one.
Hold the whistle
A long press ends it. Level in a knockout? Straight into penalties, or carry on to a golden goal.
Fix it an hour later
Change a score from the morning and the tables, the bracket and the suspensions all catch up on their own.
The bracket fills itself in
Group tables settle on head-to-head, the qualifiers drop into the knockout and every result pushes somebody through. Tap a winner below to walk the afternoon to its final.

When it is over, run off a poster — the summary, a table, the bracket or every result — and drop it straight into the team chat as a picture. Then the day goes into the Hall of Fame and you start on the next one.
The tournament belongs to whoever ran it
Nothing is collected and nothing is uploaded. There is no account to make, no league table shared with strangers and no server behind any of it. Teams, players, results, cards and every table worked out from them stay on the handset that ran the day — which is why the app keeps working in a park with no signal at all.
You are never signed up
There is no registration, no login and no profile. The app asks nothing about you — not a name, not an email address, not an age, not where you are — and it does not read device or advertising identifiers.
Everyone else you type in
Running a tournament means writing down other people's names, the goals they scored and the cards they picked up. That is a record about them, kept by you, and it is treated accordingly: it is written to your device, it is never transmitted, and nobody at this end has ever seen a squad list or a disciplinary note.
Whatever permission your workplace, club or school requires for holding a list of participants is a matter between you and them. This app adds no second copy somewhere else.
The draw is made on your phone
The balls come out in an order generated by the handset in your hand. No draw service is contacted, no result is fetched from anywhere and nothing about the outcome is reported back. What happens on the touchline stays on the touchline.
Where the day is stored
Teams, seedings, fixtures, kick-off times, scores, scorers, cards, suspensions, tables, brackets and the Hall of Fame all live inside the app on your device.
No duplicate exists elsewhere. If you asked us to recover a tournament from last spring, we would have nothing to recover it from.
The poster you send out
Exporting a summary produces an image on your device, and iOS's share sheet sends it only once you choose where. That picture may well carry player names and results, so the choice of chat is also a choice about who sees them. After it leaves, it is governed by whatever app received it.
The Hall of Fame is yours alone
Past tournaments are filed on your phone for you to look back at. It is not a public ranking, there is nothing to climb, and no one is being compared with anybody outside the day you ran.
Nothing borrowed, nothing embedded
No analytics kit, advertising network, crash reporter or tracking beacon is compiled in. Nothing counts how often you open the app, and no partner is waiting on the far end of anything.
School sports days and junior cups
A good share of these tournaments are run for children, so this deserves saying plainly: the names and results of under-13s entered here go no further than the phone they were entered on. No record reaches us, which means there is none for COPPA, the UK Children's code or equivalent rules elsewhere to apply to. If you export a poster with children's names on it, where that picture goes is entirely your decision.
Clearing it out
Any team, match or whole tournament can be edited or deleted inside the app at any point, and nothing disappears on its own. Removing Match Bracket takes every saved day with it for good, with nothing archived here to bring back.
One thing to keep in mind: with iCloud or computer backups switched on, your tournaments may sit inside that encrypted backup, which belongs to you and falls under Apple's terms rather than this page.
If this page stops being accurate
Should a later version behave in a way not described above, the page is corrected before that version reaches the store and the date at the top moves with it.

A fault, a format the app cannot build, a tiebreak rule your league does differently, or a photo of the day it ran. All of it reaches one person.
