Random Bracket Generator
When nobody agrees on seed order — or when you want chaos over politics — a random bracket generator shuffles entries before the first round. Paste names, hit random draw, review the surprise pairings, then open live voting so the bracket still crowns a champion the group actually picked, not just luck of the draw.

When nobody agrees on seed order — or when you want chaos over politics — random shuffling sets initial matchups before anyone plays. Paste names, randomize, review surprise pairings, then open live voting so winners still earn the crown.
Pub leagues, fantasy side bets, and friend-group tournaments use random draws to stop arguments about who got the easy path. Live voting after the shuffle keeps every round honest once pairings are set.
Different from blind draw mode: random affects seed placement upfront; blind draw hides information during each vote. Use both features in different event styles.
Confirm your group understands which format this room uses — single elimination — before sharing the vote link. Advanced draw names like pool play or compass flights make more sense when voters know how many rounds you plan to complete in one session.
