Brackets Notes & Tasks

Notes & Tasks help you keep all of your tournament-related information in one place. Instead of relying on emails, sticky notes, or spreadsheets, you can record commitments you've made to teams and track outstanding items until they're completed. Notes & Tasks are included with the Full Version of Brackets.

Here are some of the biggest benefits:

• Nothing gets forgotten. Tournament directors juggle hundreds of small details. Recording tasks with due dates ensures important items like scheduling officials, ordering medals, confirming ice times, or sending team reminders don't get missed.
• Everything is tied to the tournament or a team. Instead of searching through emails or notebooks, notes and tasks are attached directly to the tournament or specific team.
• Improves communication between organizers. If multiple volunteers or administrators are working on the event, everyone can see what has been done, what still needs attention.
• Tracks conversations with teams. Rather than trying to remember phone calls or email exchanges.

What is the difference between a Note & Task?

A Note records information that may be important now or in the future, but does not require any action. A Task represents something that requires action. Tasks help you organize work,  track deadlines, and ensure nothing is overlooked.  Unlike Notes, Tasks are intended to be completed and marked finished.
