Seeding generator

Paste your teams and seed them for a bracket — ranked by rating or a random draw — then optionally snake them into balanced pools. Nothing is saved.

One per line. Add a skill rating after a name to rank by strength — e.g. Sharks 9.

Seed by

Snake the seeds into this many pools (1 = one ranked list).

Add at least 2 entries.

How it works

  • Paste teams, one per line. Optionally add a rating (e.g. “Sharks 9”).
  • Seed by rating (Ranked) or draw at random.
  • Set the number of pools to snake the seeds into balanced groups.
  • Copy the result to share it anywhere.

FAQ

Do I need an account?
No. The seeding generator is a free utility — no signup, no install, no payment.
How does ranked seeding work?
Add a rating after each team (e.g. "Sharks 9") and pick Ranked. Teams are ordered strongest first; ties and unrated teams keep the order you entered them.
What is snake seeding into pools?
Set more than one pool and the seeds are dealt in a snake — seed 1 to pool A, seed 2 to pool B, then back — so every pool gets a comparable mix of strong and weak teams.
Is my roster saved anywhere?
No. Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers or saved.
