Notes regarding brackets

[tooomm]

Double Elimination:

• The trophy is not shown in the final table/round (unlike in single elimination and swiss option) [red circle].
• The match numbering is not 100% in chronological order [red numbers] to how games/rounds [yellow] should play out in parallel over the course of a tournament

Swiss:

• Having a standing table (or points next to their names) would help a lot to understand and follow the matchmaking. Unlike the other two tournament structures it is not as easy to understand just by looking at the brackets.

General:

• All brackets are pre-populated right away when generated, instead filling them up step by step (round by round) after results come in and get confirmed. That way tournament progress is better understood and everything looks more clear. Trophy could also just show up when winner of finals is decided.
• For viewers/followers of a tournament (bracket link) it would be way easier as well, as they only have the outside view with no additional information. Additional idea: Automatic refresh/update of the bracket page on new content or every ~5min?
• The option to lock the brackets to the owner only uses a checkbox, an icon and a label. Following other places in the UI, it should be sufficient to go with a toggling unlock (or lock-open) icon with a explaining tooltip.
• The 3 re-generate buttons take up a lot of space and have recurring wording, even though only one is relevant at a time. The amount of text takes the focus away from the actual button action as well. What about a dropdown with the 3 types and a Re-generate button next to it? Another nice side effect is that the current selection acts like a title for the shown brackets - something that is not available currently.
• Display bracket type in view bracket screen for clarity, e.g.:
