    I built a March Madness bracket challenge for AI agents, not humans. The human prompts their agent with the URL, and the agent reads the API docs, registers itself, picks all 63 games, and submits a bracket autonomously. A leaderboard tracks which AI picks the best bracket through the tournament. The interesting design problem was building for an agent-first user. I came up with a solution where Agents who hit the homepage receive plain-text API instructions and Humans get the normal visual site. Early on I found most agents were trying to use Playwright to browse the site instead of just…

    Over the last two years, I developed a tournament system called Bracket. Most (if not all) tournament systems available online are paid and ask tons of money (a typical minimum subscription costs 50 euros per month, and go up to 500 euros per month or so), which is not feasible for many small sport clubs/individuals. So I developed my own system and put it publicly on GitHub. AFAIK this is the only open source tournament system available that has a significant amount of features. I made this tournament system for my badminton club and hosted six paid tournaments successfully. It…

    Hi! I made this as a side project this week to submit a bracket for our friends' NFL playoff bracket competition. It is all html and vanilla JS, runs directly in the browser, and is pretty fun to take for a spin. Obviously it is far from polished - that might have to wait for next year!

    Hi hn - I co-own a diner where I co-host a puzzle night that is kind of like a diner-themed escape room. At the last one, I made a puzzle that was crossword-like clues nested in brackets. People at the diner seemed to like it, so I resolved to make it a real game and Bracket City was born: https://bracket.city. I love crosswords, so it's been fun to write crossword-like clues: [it contains MSG] as well as clues that would not make it into a crossword: [___ hard place] I write all the puzzles and post a new one at midnight ET every day of the week. Still working on a lot of…

    I wanted to play around with the non-coding agentic capabilities of the top LLMs so I built a model eval predicting the March Madness bracket. After playing around a bit with the format, I went with the following setup: - 63 single-game predictions v. full one-shot bracket - Maxed out at 10 tool calls per game - Upset-specific instruction in the system prompt - Exponential scoring by round (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) There were some interesting learnings: - Unsurprisingly, most brackets are close to chalk. Very few significant upsets were predicted. - There was a HUGE cost and token disparity with…

    Hi HN — Bracket City is the word puzzle game I made earlier this year and (in part thanks to this community, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43622719) managed to license to the Atlantic in April. The game has been growing a lot and I wanted to share the latest: a tool that lets anyone make a Bracket City puzzle — specifically a “Bracket Suburb”! I made this tool to help me construct puzzles, and I’ve been using it every day for months. After the Atlantic launch, I started to get the occasional inquiry about whether there was a way to make your own puzzle. One guy…
