Ads and disclosure

Draw the Bracket is free to use. This page says how the site is paid for, so you can see what we earn from and what we do not.

Ads

Ads may appear on guide, sport, size and tool pages. They are never shown in TV mode, on the scoring screen, in a live bracket you are running, or in the PDFs. Ads are not switched on at the moment of writing, and this page will say so when that changes.

Paid plan

An optional paid plan is planned for organizers who want to remove ads, add their own logo and colors, or run larger events. It is not available yet. Printing and running a bracket stays free.

Affiliate links

There are no affiliate links on the site. If we add any, they will be marked next to the link and listed here.

Entry fees

The site does not collect entry fees. If that is added later, the organizer will be the seller, the site will take a small platform fee, and cash pick'em pools and betting brackets will stay banned. See the terms.

How the brackets are made

Brackets are generated by one tested engine, not written by hand and not sponsored. No team, league or brand pays to appear or to rank. Read how the brackets are tested.
