Free Flag Football Tournament Bracket Maker & Manager

Updated: 2026-08-28By FlagStat

Running a flag football tournament? FlagStat is the only platform that combines tournament bracket management with live play-by-play stat tracking for every game. Create brackets, seed teams, score games with individual player stats, build tournament leaderboards, and export everything to PDF — all free for individual games.

Tournament Features

Single & Double Elimination

Create brackets for any size tournament. FlagStat handles seeding, matchup generation, and bracket progression automatically as games are completed.

Live Stat Tracking

Score every tournament game play-by-play with full individual player stats: passing, rushing, receiving, defense. Stats are rule-specific for NFHS, NFL FLAG, or NIRSA.

Tournament Leaderboards

Cumulative stat leaderboards across all tournament games. See top passers, rushers, receivers, and defenders across every team.

PDF Bracket Export

Generate professional PDF brackets for printing and posting at tournament venues. Updated as games finish.

MaxPreps Export

Every tournament game generates a MaxPreps-ready stat file. Official MaxPreps partner since March 2026.

Any Ruleset

NFL FLAG 5v5, NFHS 7v7, NIRSA 7v7, or custom rules. Tournaments with mixed formats are supported.

How It Works

  1. Create your tournament

    Name your tournament, select the bracket format (single or double elimination), and add participating teams.

  2. Seed and generate matchups

    FlagStat seeds teams and generates the full bracket. Adjust seeding manually if needed.

  3. Score games with live play-by-play

    Open each matchup and score play-by-play. Individual player stats are tracked automatically.

  4. Bracket advances automatically

    When a game ends, winners advance to the next round. The bracket updates in real time.

  5. Export brackets and stats

    Download PDF brackets for posting. Export individual game stats to MaxPreps or PDF game reports.

Why FlagStat for Tournaments?

Most bracket tools (Challonge, Bracket HQ) create brackets but do not track flag football stats. Most stat apps (StatHawk, Blitz Board Stats) track stats but have no bracket management. Only FlagStat does both — brackets and rule-specific stat tracking in one platform, with MaxPreps export and PDF reports for every game.

FlagStat was selected as the official scoring platform for the 2026 FHSAA Florida State Flag Football Playoffs — managing brackets and stats for the most competitive girls flag football postseason in the country.
