How the 6-team soccer single elimination bracket is built

6 is not a power of two, so the bracket is padded to 8 slots and the top 2 seeds skip round one with a bye. A champion is decided after 5 games in 3 rounds; add the optional 3rd-place match for one more game.

First-round matchups

Standard seeding puts the strongest seed against the weakest: 4 v 5, 3 v 6. Seeds 1–2 wait for round two. List your teams strongest-first in the generator and the seeding is applied automatically.

How long does it take?

With 75-minute games, 5 games take about 6.3 hours on one field and 3.1 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.

Soccer rules that affect the schedule

Adult recreational soccer commonly plays two 30–35 minute halves; youth ages play shorter halves. Draws are normal in league play, so the standard 3-1-0 points system applies.

Tie-breakers: Points, then goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head (FIFA-style ordering; many local leagues use head-to-head first).

Organizer tip: Rotate which teams get the late-evening kickoff so the same club is not always playing under lights.
