Printing a 32-team bracket

The bracket is wide. Print / PDF scales the canvas to fit the printable width in landscape orientation. If your print dialog adds large margins, reduce the scale slightly. For the cleanest single-page print, use the browser's landscape setting.

Seeding

Input order assigns seeds 1–32. Standard bracket placement keeps the top seeds apart; use random seeding for a blind draw, or manual order to set the seeds yourself.
