    108 points if you can find me bracket software...

    I'm hoping to find a program or website - preferably FREE - that will allow me to create and run Grand Slam tennis contests on SBR. Basically like an NCAA bracket but with more tennis players.

    Requirements:

    MOST IMPORTANT: MULTIPLE POSTERS CAN ACCESS THE SOFTWARE (NOT JUST ME ENTERING THEIR PICKS)

    1. Able to accommodate 100+ tennis players ie not limited to 64 'teams' or whatever

    2. I can adjust the seeding ie 1 doesn't play 16, instead 1 plays 3

    3. I can divide the brackets into sections, with the sections carrying through and eventually culminating in the winner from section 1 facing section 2, 3 facing 4, and then those two winners meeting in the Final

    4. Same as NCAA - Posters must be able to carry their advancing tennis players through each round until the end, before the tournament starts.

    Normally I run these contests manually which I'll do again if I have to, but to make it easier for everyone I'd prefer using some software if possible. I just don't have the time to find it right now.

    i found this one . but i am trying to find something better that you can download

    the above accomodates #1,3,4 of your criteria. as for #2 where you can adjust the seeding, this allows you to randomize seeding but not let you adjust the matchups.

    http://challonge.com/

    i just looked this is the main web site and i believe they allow players from your SBR contest to sign up themselves online.

    this is a bit more complicated but allows more functions and editing of your bracket. unfortunately it is limited to 128 entrants.

    Thanks Wulfy! I'll take a look tonight when I'm off work and if one of these can be used for the French Open contests, the points are yours. I've given you 25 now just for helping me out regardless

    http://www.bracketmaker.com/ I believe you can reseed people. Little confusing to use, well for me because I don't use tournament brackets. but up to 128 single elimination.

    I can give you Tourney Master 3.6.2 Professional, but the file is 8MB. Is there a way to post it on here? It costs $249.00, so I'm sure that it does all that you want and more...

    Can you email it to me somehow? I've never sent a program file to someone so I honestly have no clue.

    It's not the file type that's the problem. It's the size. I think Gmail has a 10MB limit...

    Because they, $600 plastic LV Evidence sunglasses, and $3 bottles of Evian water are so fukin awesome and can charge however much they want. Because I can program anything any size MB that I want and charge whatever I want. Don't worry, though. It's been dropping recently. It's dropped from $299-$224...

    Okay. It worked for me this time. Click slow download, wait 30 seconds, then click download now. Rapidshare doesn't like executable files, so I wrapped it up in a zipfile. Pretty sweet program...

    It worked for me now but I think I still have to buy it. If I don't enter a reg key it just allows me to see the demo. I'll look online and see if they have a trial or if I can find a reg key on a forum
