 * I would like to do a bracket and I have a few questions:
 * Will registration to fill out a bracket capture an email address for me?
 * What’s the easiest way to get into the Pro addition?
 * Is there widget or way for registrants to see results?

   also there is a video on the home page that will answer a lot of your questions.
 * Additionally, Fred did a great job of writing up a tutorial on setting BracketPress
   up. Check it out at [http://www.fredmarion.com/how-to-use-bracketpress-for-wordpress-for-free/](http://www.fredmarion.com/how-to-use-bracketpress-for-wordpress-for-free/)

 * If you have registration enabled on your site, then new users can create accounts
   on their own. They can do so through any means you want. A third party plugin,
   Gravity Forms, etc… or even through the regular WordPress user registration system.
 * We created a plugin that complements BracketPress that you’d probably want to
   look into.

 * I downloaded both the “free” and registration widget. I plan to move to PRO once
   I feel comfortable that I can pull this off.
 * Is there anyway to get the registration widget to appear on another page besides
   the home page?

 * I’ve installed BP in a test environment but you can see the registration at above.
 * Also, when I view a bracket 3/4ths of it is getting cut off… I believe by the
   templated page layout… anything I can do to correct?

 * You can place the widget anywhere that you have a widget area defined. That would
   depend on your theme though. Alternatively, you might try using a plugin like
   [http://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/)
   that lets you put widgets into pages. I have no experience with it though, so
   I can’t offer any help.
 * Be sure and watch the video at [http://www.bracketpress.com](http://www.bracketpress.com)—
   I address the layout issue in the video. There is a setting you can change to
   tell it what page layout to use. Most themes have a “full width” page, that is
   what you will need to use.
 * If your theme doesn’t support a full width, you might consider installing BracketPress
   on a subdomain and running it with Twenty Ten or Twenty Eleven as the theme.
