This template is intended to be used to create and edit intricate sports brackets that cannot be made by Module:RoundN or Module:Team bracket. For example, additional headers (for double-elimination brackets; 3rd-, 5th-, 7th-place matches; etc), singular omitted matches (i.e., having a horizonal line instead of a match), and N-way brackets (N teams per match). The syntax is slightly more complicated than the aforementioned brackets, but simpler than using the standard wikitable code.
The template breaks down the brackets into rows and columns.
Note: Borders are not actually present. They are only here to help visualization.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
rounds
number of rounds (columns).
rows
number of rows.
n-m
Entry for row n column m. Valid entries areheader, team, or text. Note: |0-m= will only accept header for all m.
n-ma
The line path code directly after n column m. See below for details.
RDm RDm-k
The header text of the (kth) header in round m.
RDm-seedk
The seed of the kth team in round m.
RDm-teamk
The name of the kth team in round m.
RDm-scorek RDm-scorek-l
The score of (the lth leg of) the kth team in round m.
RDm-textk
The text of the kth text entry in round m.
seed-width
the width of the cells for seeds. Plain numbers are assumed to be in px units (e.g., 25 or 25px 2em for 2em)
team-width
the width of the cells for team names. Plain numbers are assumed to be in px units (e.g., 200 for 200px or 15em for 15em)
score-width
the width of the cells for scores. Plain numbers are assumed to be in px units (e.g., 25 or 25px 2em for 2em)
seeds
set to no to omit seeds in all rounds.
legs
the number of legs for all rounds.
RDm-legs
the number of legs in round m. Overrides |legs=.
RD-shade
the background color (in hex format, e.g. #ABCDEF) of all headers.
RDm-shade RDm-k-shade
the background color (in hex format, e.g. #ABCDEF) of the (kth) header in round m. Overrides |RD-shade=.
RDm-scorek-shade RDm-scorek-l-shade
the background color (in hex format, e.g. #ABCDEF) the (lth leg of) kth team's score round m.
Path codes
Path codes are only accepted in parameters of the form |n-ma=.
Input
Output
Notes
out
Paths connect between two cells, e.g.:
in
up
down
out split
Paths connect in the middle of a cell, e.g.:
in split
up split
down split
Path codes can be combined to create any combination, repeats are ignored, and order does not matter. For example, out up down creates
Examples
Note: These are only examples. Module:Team bracket and Module:RoundN handle some of these brackets much better than this template does.
