Assign and display information for each "spot"

[flamontagne]

Hi,

I'd like to display an ID of some sort in each spot just beside the team name, example:

A1 Team 1
A2 Team 2 --------- A5 (TBD)

A3 Team 3
A4 Team 4 --------- A6 (TBD)

Is it possible?

Why I want to do this

I want to create a "3 games guarantee" tournament with A, B and C pools and I need a way to instruct where the loser of a match will play next (e.g. loser goes to B3). Btw I know 3 games guaranteed are not supported with this library. I'm going to create 3 independent brackets with single elimination and manage the changing of brackets server side.

Thanks for this library!

Hi,

Unfortunately there isn't currently any built-in way to do this.

Interesting, I've never heard of this kind of bracket. Is it 1:1 to double elimination, i.e. triple elimination (everyone must lose three times), or is it something more complicated? Is this a common tournament type in some specific sport / game?

Hi Teijo and thanks for the reply.

It is similar to triple elimination but not exactly the same thing. In 3 games guarantee each team is guaranteed to play 3 matches, win or lose. It doesn't mean you have to lose 3 times to be out. If Team A wins its first match and lose its second match, they will be eliminated if they lose the 3rd match.

To my knowledge this format is often used in friendly curling tournaments called "Bonspiels". For the first match all teams are in the A bracket. Those who wins the first match remains in the A. The losers will drop to the B bracket. If you win your first in the B, losing again in B means you will be out of the tournament. If you lose your first game in the B you will drop to the C. As soon as you lose in C you are out of the tournament. Those who won the first match in the A but lose the 2nd match will drop to the C.

Some like to add a D bracket, in this case it becomes:

win 1st, win 2nd -> A (becomes single elimination from here)
win 1st, lose 2nd -> B (becomes single elimination from here)
lose 1st, win 2nd -> C (becomes single elimination from here)
lose 1st - lose 2nd -> D (becomes single elimination from here)

Hi,
maybe this could be usefull...
The only thing you should adapt is the selector class. Instead of teamcontainer you should use class label (and delete unwanted labels) and edit the innerText
