Module:Build bracket/doc

Description

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.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
rounds	number of rounds (columns). Current max is 7.
rows	number of rows. Current max is 44.
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)
legs	the number of legs for all rounds (columns).
RDm-legs	the number of legs in round (column) m. Overrides |legs=.
n-m	Entry for row n column m. Valid entries areheader, team, or text. Note: |0-m= will only accept header.
n-ma	The line path code directly after n column m. See below for details.

Path codes

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. 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.
