About the Bracket Template

The Bracket Template is a unique visualization tool that stands out among many others. Its structure and purpose are designed to help organize and rank ideas, teams, or topics in a sequential and competitive manner. This tool is essential for decision-making, prioritization, or even some fun team activities.

What's a bracket template?

A Bracket Template is a visual representation structured in the shape of a tree, where individual entities or ideas start on either side of the diagram and face off against each other in successive rounds until a winner emerges. Each area of the template comprises:

  1. First seeding sections: The initial placement of entities or ideas. It’s where the competition or comparison begins.

  2. Match-up areas: These show which entities or ideas are competing against each other in each round.

  3. Progression lines: These connector lines indicate who moves forward in the bracket after each decision or result.

  4. Winner's circle: Located at the end of the template, it celebrates the final entity or idea that emerges victorious.

To use it, place your initial ideas or teams in the seeding sections, and as decisions are made, move or mark the progressing entity to the next round until you reach a final conclusion.
