Built for the bracket nerds,
by a bracket nerd.
Golden State Brackets exists because the bracket challenge I wanted didn't exist yet.
The backstory
I'm Vishal Saboo. By day, I'm a product leader who's spent the last decade building AI and enterprise products that reach millions of users. I started as an engineer — and I've never lost the instinct to build things myself.
Every major tournament, my friends and I would argue about draws, debate seedings, and make bold calls about first-round upsets. But there was no good way to put those predictions on the record and settle the score. So I built Golden State Brackets.
Communities, not crowds
ESPN and Yahoo serve millions with one-size-fits-all pools. GSB is different. It's built for your tennis crew, your office, your friends who argue about draws over drinks. Create a private group, invite your people, and compete against the ones whose opinions you actually care about beating.
Where this is headed
Tennis is the starting point, not the finish line. The bracket challenge format works for any elimination tournament — March Madness, the World Cup, even your local pickleball league. GSB is being built as a platform any community can use, for any sport.
How we build
Performance is a feature
Every page loads fast. No spinners where data can be pre-fetched.
Simplicity over configurability
Fewer settings, better defaults. It should just work.
Every page stands alone
You should understand what you're looking at without context from another page.
No dead ends
When there's nothing to show yet, there's something to learn.
Your data
Authentication is handled entirely by Google — we never see or store your password. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on trusted cloud providers. No tracking pixels, no data sold to third parties.
