Tournament plan for 20 players

Yes — completely free, no account, no download. Enter names, generate the plan, save it as an image or print it. You only need a (free) SmartDart tournament once you want to play with live scoring, QR join and the projector view.

If the player count isn't a power of two (4, 8, 16, 32 …), the field is padded and the surplus slots become byes. Who gets a bye is decided by the draw — the byes are spread as far apart in the bracket as possible so no half of the draw is favoured.

Knockout is fast and dramatic (every match is an elimination match) — ideal for pub tournaments and big fields. Round robin is fairer because everyone plays the same number of games — ideal for small groups up to ~8 players or league nights. In a real SmartDart tournament you can also combine both (group stage + knockout).

Yes: create the tournament in the SmartDart wizard with the same names — every player scores on their own phone, the bracket updates live, and spectators follow along via QR code or on a projector. Free up to 10 players.

Yes. The order you enter the names in does not decide the pairings — the generator draws them. So the first name is not automatically matched against the last one on your list. Don't like the draw? Hit “Draw again” for a completely new one. The same goes for the round-robin fixtures: the draw decides who meets on which matchday.
