At Skillz, we’re always finding new ways to make competition more exciting and faster.
Now introducing one of our most anticipated new formats: Live Brackets.

Live Brackets introduce a whole new way to compete real-time matchups, round-by-round progression, and prizes that scale with your skill starting with our first featured game: Solitaire Cube.

What Are Live Brackets?

Live Brackets are fast-paced, real-time multiplayer tournaments where:

• You register in advance for an 8, 16, or 32 player bracket

Before each Live Bracket begins, there’s a registration window, just a few minutes to lock in your spot. Once registered, you’re placed into a bracket with other competitors. Depending on the size, you’ll compete in 3 to 5 rounds of skill-based matchups to reach the top.

The larger the bracket, the more rounds and the bigger the prize.

• Win to move on. Keep winning to reach the finals and grab the top prize
• All players experience live progression, making every round matter

It’s like being in an e-sports tournament, only you control the outcome

 Why You’ll Love It

Live Brackets are designed to:

• Maximize excitement with real-time matchups
• Deliver instant outcome gratification, you know where you stand round by round
• Offer bigger rewards than traditional head-to-head play
• Match players using Elo-based skill ranking to ensure fairness
• Keep your momentum going with smart notifications that alert you when a Live Bracket is about to begin and before each round to make sure you’re always ready to play.

And yes, Live Brackets are rolling out across multiple Skillz games giving players even more ways to compete in real time, no matter what they play.

What’s Next?

This is just the first version of Live Brackets, and we’re already planning:

• Bigger prize pools
• Tiered competitions across different skill levels
• Personalized VIP tournaments
• And even limited-time free entry brackets to bring more players in

We’re gradually expanding Live Brackets across more games, so keep an eye on your app’s event section!
