@NogDogFeb 22.2006 — Eh, he's in Australia. They're not getting ready for "March Madness" there. ? (B_G: we're talking about single-elimination tournament pairings, such as at the Australian Open tennis tournament: 32 pairings, the winners play in 16 pairings, those winners in 8 pairings, etc. down to the finals. The NCAA college basketball tournament is always a big deal here in the US, especially for office pools where you get points for picking who the winner will be in each game in the "bracket".)

I tried messing around with creating a CSS bracket last year (no tables) but failed miserably. Maybe I'll try again now that I have another year of CSS experience under my belt.

@bigtommy911authorFeb 22.2006 — helps yes but id rather have the brackets on my own site

@bathurst_guyFeb 22.2006 — Ok, I understand now - I just never knew they were called 'brackets', I have always called them a table, although I'm not the athletic type and have never really played in full on tournaments. Well your in good hands now tom with nog so I'll leave you both to it ?

@NogDogFeb 22.2006 — Here's a fairly simple table layout for one 16-team region:
[code=html]

<!-- link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css' type='text/css' -->
<style type="text/css">
<!--

}
td {

}
td p {

</style>
</head>

Yep. HTML is for defining the meaning. CSS is for defining the appearance.

@gruntagametAug 01.2008 — this is an old thread, I know, but I have a question that directly relates to it. I am trying to make a bracket similar to these, but distinctly different. Round one seeds look like this (H01 = Competition #1, with three seeds competing for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd)

H01 - 10,26,39

H02 - 09,25,40

H03 - 08,24,41

H04 - 07,23,42

H05 - 06,22,43

H06 - 05,21,44

H07 - 04,20,45

H08 - 01,17,48

H09 - 02,18,47

H10 - 03,19,46

H11 - 11,27,38

H12 - 12,28,37

H13 - 13,29,36

H14 - 14,30,35

H15 - 15,31,34

H16 - 16,32,33

Then 1st place move to Round 3, and 2nd and Third move to Round 2, where the seeds are matched up as follows:

H01 - 01,16

H02 - 02,15

and so on, 8 comps total. My question is fairly simple - how do I figure out the equation that assigns the top seed in Round 2 to seed #1 - meaning, their seed could be 16, but if they are the highest seed inn Round 2, then they occupy the top seed for that round. Confused here.

Thanks

@ekelmansJun 15.2014 — If you are up for a quick and dirty solution with No CSS or java needed. try this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43939704/TournamentBrackets.7z

It's just HTML DIV's and a few .png files for the lines (see the 7Z file for pics).


Grtz,

Theo

@jedaisoulJun 15.2014 — @gruntagamet

You will have to explain the meanings of the numbers you have given. I'm guessing that the first column is the higher ranking player, the second is the opponent, but if so: what are the the third and fourth columns???? No that cannot be right, because in the first round the players ranked 11 to 16 play themselves!!! You can't assume that we know the intricacies of tournament organisation. You need to precisely define what the numbers mean, and how the draws work...

As to your actual question, presumably the top seed for the round is the highest ranked seed (or player?) playing in that round. You cannot compute that with HTML. You need to use PHP or JavaScript if you want the system to work out the play pairings in each round. Which means that you have to rigorously describe the rules.

Success!
