Game names for Bracket Stage
planned
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.

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?

I agree with Steve, this would be a welcome addition to help avoid confusion when creating brackets.

Great suggestion to prompt for date/time/sheet number when creating bracket.

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.

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.
