Brackets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There should be a way of marking distinct brackets.

Now teams can be placed in brackets. Brackets can't yet be named, only numbered.
Brackets are currently used only in displaying the team standings. The current 
system
is good enough to handle ladder play / partial round-robins after the initial 
rounds
of a tourney. It's probably not a good system for a tournament with divisions 
that
both feed into shared finals brackets. (as of r41)

Planned bracket system:
Database changes:
 - Add a table for brackets, storing an id, a name, an index (to allow them to sort
properly; often brackets are ranked), and a "stage" index (to distinguish
prelims/ladder/final, etc.)
 - Add a bracket field to the rounds table, so that each game is marked with the
bracket it was played in.
 - Add a bracket field to the teams table, so that we know what bracket a team is
_currently_ in.
Interface changes:
 - When adding a round, check that the teams are currently in the same bracket
 - Add a bracket selector to the team edit page
 - When showing a list of rounds, split by bracket (optionally?)
 - more?

Also, it should be possible to specify the bracket when adding a new team.
