How Do I Edit a Bracket Competition?

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Before a Bracket Competition starts, every part of it can be edited. Once the first round begins, competitors, scoring, and seeding are locked, but you can still rename it, hide it, and adjust rounds that haven't finished.

Required permissions:

  • The Competitions: All Access permission is required to edit any Bracket Competition.

  • The Competitions: Create Challenges permission is required to edit a Bracket Competition you created.

Access the Bracket Editor

  1. Open Motivate --> Competitions.

  2. Click on the Bracket Competition's card.

  3. Click on Edit at the top of the page.

Make Your Changes

  1. Update the Bracket Name field, or switch the Visibility toggle between Live and Hidden.

  2. Optional: Before the bracket starts, update competitors and scoring on the Competitors and Scoring steps, and the seeding in the preview.

  3. Optional: On the Schedule step, change the start and end of future rounds, or the end of the round in progress.

  4. Click on Save Changes.

Note:

  • Finished rounds can't be rescheduled, a round in progress can only change its end time. No round can be moved to start in the past.
