Simple Tournament Brackets

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

16 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 7 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank

Ranked about #10,100 to #11,100, alongside the other plugins at 300+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 68% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2.3 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   This plugin was perfect for our needs – a cricket website with playoff rounds that I needed certain registered users to be able amend via the front end. Whats more, I needed a little extra functionality so reached out to the dev here on the forum. Almost instantaneously they replied and added the function to the plugin. Updated it my end and there it was. Fantastic! Thank you so much.

   This is a great plugin and works very well. I know it says it is “Simple” but it could do with a couple of tweaks. Great for singles competitions but does not work for pairs, triples and fours. The box is not big enough Would be great if a blank line (or something) gave the next (or previous) entry a bye into the next round

   Update: Got it to work with some help from the developer. Pretty basic plug in, no way to customize brackets. But if you are looking for a very basic tournament bracket. This would work for you. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by mattyshack.

   Nothing else is available that provides the functionality provided by Simple Tournament Brackets. Additionally, when I hit a problem with tournaments not loading the response to the support ticket was quick and after some info back and forth they quickly identified that it was restrictions applied by Solid Security Basic that were causing the problem. Restrictions were removed and back in business quickly. I’ve found larger competitions are a bit slow to load on a page but hopefully that can be improved. I look forward to seeing how this plugin develops. Five stars for support four for plugin performance.

   Used it for a golf league. Works excellent. Would be nice if you could also add a bracket for 3 en 4th place

   I tried several test tournaments (on pages and pots) and posted one, and it doesn’t advance when I select a winner. Here’s the page where mines is on: etazero.com/g-o-t-y/ Here’s a short clip of the issue: drive.google.com/file/d/1B5fDQhJyptZIexYmHIAK7cHP_RJjlLMm/view?usp=sharing This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by lanboyguyton.
