- Bracket maker Build a seeded knockout bracket from a list of names. Byes handled, seeding handled, ready to print.
- Round robin generator Every team plays every other team. Byes rotate fairly, home and away optional, exports to CSV.
- Draw and groups generator Split any list into random groups or teams, with optional seeding pots so the strong entries spread out.
How it all works.
The pages below answer most of what organizers ask before they run a pool, from how a sport's season shapes your scoring to what your IT team will want to see.
- Sport and league pages One page per league: how its season runs, what that does to your scoring rules, and the questions organizers of that sport ask.
- Season Pass and Bracket Pass When a one-off pass beats a year-round plan, how the season window works, and what happens to your hub when the season ends.
- How pick'em works Weeks, locks, scoring and leaderboards, and what a season looks like from your players' side of the screen.
- How brackets work Filling in a knockout bracket, when it locks, how later rounds score more, and what the field sees once it does.
- Security for your IT team How player data is protected, where it is stored, and what to forward to a procurement or security review.
Docs for your hub.

- White-label setup Your logo, colours and address, so the hub looks like yours from the first page.
Questions about these resources.
Are the free tools really free?
Yes. They run in your browser with no signup, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Print the result, or copy a link that carries the whole thing with it.
What is the difference between a free tool and a Fanzava hub?
A tool gives you a bracket, a draw or a schedule to print or share. A hub runs the pool itself: people sign up, picks lock at each start time, results score a leaderboard and reminders go out, all under your brand.
Where do I find setup help for my hub?
In the product documentation at docs.fanzava.com, which covers scoring, lock policies, brackets, branding and billing step by step. Hub admins can also raise a question from the Help button there.
I have drawn a bracket with the bracket maker. How do I run it as a pool?
Set it up as a bracket pool on a Fanzava hub. Players fill in every matchup before the lock, and each result rescores every bracket and the leaderboard. Brackets are on every paid plan from Starter, or on a Bracket Pass for a single event.
Which sports do the sport and league pages cover?
Every league with a page on the sports index, from the NHL and NFL to March Madness and the World Cup, plus format pages for brackets, survivor and confidence pick'em that work across sports.
