Comparison

Bracketway vs Scoreholio

Scoreholio is the best-known tournament app in cornhole, and for good reason. Bracketway is a simpler tool built for a different night: a fundraiser, a bar tournament or a backyard bracket, where nobody should have to download anything. Here's an honest look at how they differ, so you can pick the one that fits your event.

When Scoreholio is the better choice

  • You run a weekly league or a season, and want standings that carry over from week to week.
  • Your players are competitive and care about stats, rankings and PPR.
  • You want rotating partners (Switcholio), round robin, ladders or King of the Court.
  • You need double elimination or a 32-team bracket without paying: Scoreholio's free plan includes both.

When Bracketway is the better choice

  • Your players shouldn't need an app or an account. They sign up from a link or a QR code at the door with just their name, and follow the bracket in any browser.
  • It's a one-off event, like a school or church fundraiser, a company outing or a bar night, and you want it set up in minutes rather than learning a league system.
  • You want the classic blind draw, done in one tap: paste a list of names, draw teams (balanced A/B if you like), and the bracket builds itself.
  • You'd rather pay once for one big event. A single tournament upgrade is $12.99 with no subscription.
  • It's not cornhole. Bracketway runs any game played in two-player teams, from KanJam to euchre, with no sport settings to work around.
