Every match links to a real scoreboard — results flow back into the bracket automatically as they're scored.
Transparent chroma-key scorebugs work as an OBS/Streamlabs browser source, free at every tier.
Collect sign-ups, a waiver, and entry fees via Stripe — you receive the full posted fee.
If you're running brackets purely for seeding and results tracking, Challonge is a familiar, established tool, especially in esports circles. But if you also need to keep score match-by-match, stream the event with an on-screen scorebug, or collect sign-ups and entry fees before the bracket even starts, that usually means stitching Challonge together with a separate scoreboard app and a separate registration form. ScoreKeeperCo is built for organizers who want the bracket, the live scoreboard, and registration in one place — see the tournament bracket maker or start with tournament registration.
Every match in a ScoreKeeperCo bracket can link to its own live scoreboard — score it from a phone at the table or court, and the result feeds back into the bracket automatically, advancing the winner without anyone re-typing it. Those same scoreboards work as transparent OBS/Streamlabs browser sources, so a stream gets a real scorebug instead of just a static bracket graphic. Registration is built in too: teams sign up with a name, email, and up to five custom questions, accept a waiver if you require one, and pay an entry fee by card if you've set one — you get the full posted fee, the participant covers a small service fee. And the free tier isn't a stripped-down trial: brackets, round robin schedules, and live scoreboards all work with no signup required to view. Round robin pool play into a seeded bracket is covered by the round robin generator.
Where we can't verify a Challonge specific, we say so rather than guess.

If your event is a pure bracket — no live match scoring, no streaming overlay, no paid registration — and your community already lives on Challonge, especially in esports, there's little reason to switch. It's a well-known, established name for straightforward bracket hosting.
Create a free tournament bracket, add your participant list (or turn on registration and let teams sign themselves up), and share the new bracket link. If you're running pool play first, set up a round robin schedule and seed the bracket from standings once pool play wraps. There's no bracket data locked in a competitor's export format — a fresh bracket takes minutes to rebuild from a participant list.
