Game names for Bracket Stage
complete
Steve Copeland
When scheduling games in a bracket stage, the game name does not include the names of the teams. To see when you play, you have to look in the standings, find the name of your game, and then go to schedule to find that game. Its somewhat confusing. It would be much simpler if the game name was concatenated with the team names, so that you only have to look in one place to see when you play. For example, when no teams are assigned to a game, the schedule could show A-QF1: TBD v TBD. When teams are assigned to that game, TBD are replaced with team names.

I am confused by this feature. I created a bracket today, and the team names were not assigned to the game on the public schedule. I had to go back to edit the game name so that the teams would show up in the schedule.

Team names are now concatenated to the game name for bracket games when editing the draw schedule.

I would love to display all of this information, but it takes up a TON of space and choices had to be made.
The way this works currently is for pending (upcoming) games, the name of the game is shown, and then for completed games, the team names are shown with the winning team first followed by a ">" sign, then the losing team (an "=" is used for ties). I dislike that we're hiding information, but a long draw schedule looks completely ridiculous when all of this information is shown.
The best I can offer would be a mouseover caption with all the information.
UPDATE: Oh wait, we're talking about what is shown on the admin side during scheduling. I was referring to the public display. My bad. The requested feature should be doable.

Would it be possible to populate each game with the respective winner/loser of the game feeding it? E.g. from your example in the documentation A Event game 1 vs 2 is "Homer" vs "Marge" and 3 vs 4 is "Bart" vs "Lisa". The Quarterfinal 1 is W: 1 vs 2 and W: 3 vs 4... if Marge wins 1 vs 2, then the Quarterfinal 1 would show Marge vs W: 3 vs 4, and if Bart wins 3 vs 4, then the Quarterfinal 1 would show Marge vs Bart, etcetera.
And, of course, to show the winner of the final game?

Douglas Moore: It should do this automatically as games are completed. If you ever find it does not, please reach out via the admin support section with the league name and we'll look into it.

I think I've figured it out. Add a final game that isn't played (Event Winner); it's only populated (automatically) by the previous game winner (which is also shown in bold in the previous game, but not as aesthetically appealing).
I was also struggling to stage/schedule pool round robins feeding into playoff brackets. Finally figured out the manual process to achieve that; and learned to pick the bracket names, not the team names for the schedule.
Our last bonspiel reflects the above.
There seems to be no option for a tie-breaker based on LSD (Last Stone Draw) - nor, therefore, a means to record the distance for each team.
Is there a way to show where the loser of a game goes? In ink-on-paper draws, we note "Loser to B1...". I'm trying to figure that out in our "Test" bonspiel.

I agree with Steve, this would be a welcome addition to help avoid confusion when creating brackets.
Steve Copeland
Great suggestion to prompt for date/time/sheet number when creating bracket.
Wayne Heikkinen
This would be a good upgrade and create a more traditional way of reading the draw

I agree with Steve. Ideally, the sheet, date and time would all show up in the bracket. Then the curlers wouldn't have to go to both the bracket and the schedule to get the information they need. Since we build the schedule with the sheet numbers, date, time, and game name, it should be possible to query the schedule table and pull that data into the brackets. Another suggestion would be to enhance the form that gets displayed when you click on a game in the bracket. The form could prompt for date, time, sheet number in addition to the game name and team information that the form currently asks for. The schedule table could then be populated with all that information when the bracket is saved.
Douglas Moore
Steve Mackey How do you build a schedule for a bracket? I've learned to use and manipulate a round-robin schedule, but I don't see how to create a "schedule table" you refer to above. Your original post also referred to "standings", which suggests access to the "scores" tab... Again, I've figured out those in a round-robin, but I'm baffled by brackets.

Douglas Moore the documentation isn't very clear on this. Once you build the brackets, you have to manually build the schedule as well. https://curling.io/docs/event-management/draw-schedule has the instructions. When building the brackets, I add the sheet number and game date to each game header. It makes it easier to build the schedule.
Dave Rapin
Steve Mackey I don't want to make these game blocks any bigger, but what we can probably do is add a mouseover popup / caption that displays all of this information.
