Our Commitment

BracketSpot is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to make our platform usable by as many people as possible.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, we recognize that full conformance is an ongoing effort. We are actively working to identify and address accessibility barriers.

Known Limitations

While we strive to make BracketSpot fully accessible, some areas are still being improved:

  • Some real-time tournament updates may not be immediately announced to screen readers. We are working to improve live region announcements.
  • The interactive bracket visualization is keyboard-navigable but may benefit from additional ARIA descriptions.
  • Some complex data tables in analytics may require improvements for screen reader navigation.

We are actively working on these issues and welcome feedback on how to improve.
