What is Bracket Nights?
Bracket Nights is a series of light-hearted tournaments for you to debate with your friends and family. You’ll be shown a series of 1-v-1 matchups, where you, as a group, can discuss and choose which of the two options is superior. Continue through all of the matchups and you will eventually choose the best item within that category, deciding this important ranking once and for all.

How to play Bracket Nights?
There are a few different ways to play a Bracket Nights tournament, and which one is best for you depends on what you enjoy.
Pick a group
While Bracket Nights can be enjoyed solo, it is often better enjoyed with a group. We find that 3-5 people is best, but anywhere from 2-10 people can work if you want it to. You pick who you want to invite and then, of course, you invite them.
Find a place
Play online or offline – any place with an internet connection and, well, that’s all your location needs.
Preferably a seat for each judge too. This can be at someone’s house, or in a bar or cafe, or even down the
park if you have data on your table.
Equipment
All you need to play bracket nights is a screen that connects to the internet. A smartphone could work, but we recommend something a little larger, like a tablet or laptop.
If it’s available, the best way to play is on a TV screen (via cable or browser), so everyone can see the matchups well.

Judge well
How you play is up to you.
Many people enjoy debating each matchup and choosing a winner from the majority votes.
Others choose to play on instinct alone, without much discussion (a faster way to play).
Some like debating until a unanimous decision is chosen for each matchup (an extended way to play).
It is also possible to pick a couple of people for each matchup who should express their personal opinions before everyone else casts their votes.
There are several ways to play, and not one of them is the wrong way. Play however feels right and fun for you and your group.
