Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Bracket Ace is a tournament management app created by tournament directors for both tournament directors and spectators. The Android version currently only supports the spectators views. Bracket Ace takes advantage of touch screen capabilities to greatly enhance the tournament experience. Fans and spectators can use Bracket Ace on Android devices to view brackets, see past results and even take them to the tournament. Bracket Ace can even launch Ace Referee for handball, racquetball and squash tournaments with the appropriate match data populated. By obtaining a referee code from the tournament desk, matches officiated using Ace Referee will have results posted to Bracket Ace automatically. It will also launch Umpire Live for baseball, softball, kickball and wiffleball tournaments and will automatically update the brackets when the umpire code is supplied.

Bracket Ace APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Bracket Ace APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is baa6685e4d2dd43a09c3b7b93300de6f.
