Question on Group / Bracket Size

[NikAlexander]

I'm comparing the way we submit bracket info to BattleFy because I was a little confused with our 'group' system for a double elimination setup.

Is 'bracket size' the same field as 'teams in each group'?

When creating a double elimination tournament in BattleFy, it automatically created groups for: losers round, winners round, and grand finals. We should do the same because this automation makes understanding set up very easy.

• When I created a double elimination tournament on BattlePro it doesn't provide a format where I can view losers bracket, winners or grand finals. It appears everything is lumped together. How do I stage these separately on BattlePro to get the same functionality as BattleFy? Do I need to create another stage for each?

@NikAlexander I'll make an issue to change that wording for elimination brackets since they currently only support one group.

Our current system isn't quite as flexible as what battlefy seems to offer. We do support double elimination but don't yet have an easy way to change settings between the winners / losers / finals brackets in double elimination. A preview of the bracket is generated once the tournament has been published, but I'll look into trying to get a preview on the tournament creation page as well. This might be difficult since the stage setup is using React for views (this was chosen to allow the interface to be more easily moved to a future rebuilt site) but that does not mix with the older style views as easily. Unfortunately brackets haven't yet been updated to also render with React due to time requirements. Would a preview help clear things up though?
