How the 16-team flag football single elimination bracket is built
16 is a power of two, so the bracket is full and nobody gets a bye. A champion is decided after 15 games in 4 rounds; add the optional 3rd-place match for one more game.
First-round matchups
Standard seeding puts the strongest seed against the weakest: 1 v 16, 8 v 9, 4 v 13, 5 v 12, 2 v 15, 7 v 10, 3 v 14, 6 v 11. List your teams strongest-first in the generator and the seeding is applied automatically.
How long does it take?
With 60-minute games, 15 games take about 15 hours on one field and 7.5 hours on two — but rounds can't overlap, so the last rounds always run one game at a time. Pro's scheduler enforces that ordering when it assigns dates, start times and fields.
Flag Football rules that affect the schedule
Flag football games run two 20–25 minute halves. Many leagues split one full-size field into two flag fields, doubling capacity.
Tie-breakers: Head-to-head, then point differential, then points allowed.
Organizer tip: If you split a field, list each half as its own field (e.g. "Field 1A", "Field 1B") so the scheduler can use both.
