Bracket Software

[mgale456]

Somehow we would like to integrate the bracket in with the game server. What do we want to do about that. I've found Toornament, which seems to have the features we need for 1v1v1v1s. We could also make something ourselves or integrate it with Google Sheets somehow. Any ideas?

If we homebrew something I don't think spreadsheets need to be involved, we could probably make a little UI for it. But finding an existing library would probably be best for this year.

Reviving this thread. What does this bracket software need to do for us? @mgale456

There are a lot of things that would be nice (note it refers to the bracket software):

1. Django automatically sending it the final scores
2. It creating the new games for the later rounds in the bracket once the teams are finalized
3. It having a nice display of the bracket we could put on the screen sometimes
4. Teams being able to check it by themselves
5. Obviously it needs to support our funky 1v1v1v1 bracket
6. Probably something else

Last year we did this all manually with a google sheet for the bracket. It accomplished only # 4 of this list, and Vassily did not like having to type in the scores. Some of these are less necessary than others, like # 2.
