Run your weekly on Smashy
A free bracket for your local or netplay event. Players sign up, strike stages and report scores from their phones, so you spend the night running the event, not typing results.
What you get
- Sign-ups and check-inShare one link. Set a player cap and a check-in window. Someone who shows up without an account? Add them as a walk-in with just their tag.
- BracketsDouble elimination, single elimination, or round robin pools. Seed by hand, shuffle, by players' records on Smashy, or from last week's results in a weekly series. Longer sets from Top 8 if you want them. Upsets are marked in the bracket.
- Players run their own setsEach set has a page on the players' phones: a coin flip, stage strikes and bans from your ruleset, and the score. They report it; you confirm with one tap, or record it yourself.
- Setups and streamPut a set on a setup and both players are told where to go. Mark a set for stream and add the free score overlay to OBS or Streamlabs.
- Online eventsPlayers add their connect code once. It's shown only to their opponent and to you, when their set is called.
- Help when it's busyAdd co-TOs who can check people in, seed, start the bracket and record results. Players can call you to their set, and you can nudge players who haven't started.
- When it's overPlacements go on every player's profile. Copy the results as text, share them as a post, or copy the bracket to Challonge for a ranking league on Braacket. Every bracket also has a public results file that ranking tools can read. Then run it again next week with one tap.
- Coming from start.ggAlready took sign-ups on start.gg? Paste the event's link and its players come over by name, in start.gg's seeding order. Nothing changes on start.gg.
How a night goes
- Make the event and share its link, or print its poster with a QR code. Players sign up.
- Got a TV at the venue? The venue screen shows who plays now and on which setup, in big text, and updates itself.
- Got a website for your scene? Paste one line of code and the live bracket shows there too.
- At the venue, players check in on their phones. Add any walk-ins.
- Set the seeding and start the bracket. Everyone whose set is up is told who they play.
- Players strike stages and report their sets. You confirm results and assign setups.
- When the last set ends, the results are posted and everyone gets their placement.
When start.gg is still the better choice
Smashy is built for weeklies, monthlies and netplay brackets. Stay on start.gg for an event if:
- You charge an entry or venue fee through the bracket site. Smashy doesn't handle money.
- You run doubles or teams. Smashy brackets are singles for now.
- One registration covers several events (Melee singles, Ultimate singles, side events).
- You have more than 512 players, or pools that feed into a final bracket.
- Your scene's rankings are built from start.gg results. Smashy can copy a bracket to Challonge and has a public results file, but it can't write to start.gg.
You can use both: Smashy also shows start.gg brackets, and players who link their start.gg account see their sets from either in one place.
