Accessibility Statement

1. Our commitment

We want every part of My Bracket App, from building a bracket to printing a schedule, to be usable without a mouse and without perfect eyesight. Accessibility is not a one-time task. We treat it as something to keep improving as the site grows.

2. The standard we aim for

We build My Bracket Appto meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. That is the level most widely referenced by accessibility law and policy. We say "aim for" deliberately: it is a target we design and test against, not a certified audit result.

3. What we have done

Concrete things already in place across the site:

• Text and interface colors are chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast against their backgrounds.
• Pages use real headings, landmarks, and lists, so a screen reader can move through them in a sensible order.
• Buttons, links, and form fields are standard, focusable controls that work with the keyboard alone.
• Form fields, including the score and squares inputs, carry accessible names so their purpose is announced.
• Decorative graphics, such as the connector lines drawn between matches, are marked so assistive technology skips them. The bracket's meaning is also carried by the match cards and round headings.
• Animation is kept light, and the pulsing prompt on the Generate button stops for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.
• Layouts are responsive and the text reflows when you zoom, and a print stylesheet produces clean, high-contrast black-on-white pages.

4. Known limitations

We would rather be straight with you than overclaim. A few areas we are still working on:

• The bracket and league editors are visually dense. Most of it is keyboard operable, but some flows are harder with a screen reader than we want them to be.
• A very large bracket is a wide, complex layout. It is easiest to follow on a larger screen.
• If you hit a barrier we have not listed, please tell us. Real reports are how this list gets shorter.

5. Third-party content

My Bracket App shows advertising from third parties. We do not write those ads and cannot control their accessibility. The same applies to other sites we link to. Once you leave My Bracket App, that site's own accessibility practices apply.

6. Tell us about a problem

If any page, control, or feature on My Bracket App is hard or impossible to use, email privacy@mybracketapp.com. It helps us a lot if you can include the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you were using.

7. How we respond

A real person reads every accessibility report. We aim to reply within a few business days, and if a fix is not quick, we will tell you what we are doing and roughly when. If you need information from the site in a different format in the meantime, ask, and we will help directly.
