Create and Simulate a Complete Playoff Bracket

A playoff simulator that builds a real bracket and plays it out. Seed the field, set the series length, and watch best-of series — with overtime — decide a champion.

Bracket formats

Choose 4, 8, or 16 playoff teams and Next Season builds a seeded bracket. Set each series to best-of-3, 5, or 7, and the playoff simulator plays out every round — with tied games going to overtime — until a champion is crowned.

Seeding & series

Qualification can be league-wide or split across conferences and divisions. Follow each series game by game as it moves toward the clinch, with clear indicators for advancing teams.
