The bracket

Knockout stages render as the classic two-sided bracket: quarter-finals on the outside, converging on a centre Final, the third-place match tucked underneath. One shared layout drives every surface, so they never disagree:

• Console — the division's Fixtures tab shows the tree above the match list; each node links to its scoring page, live matches pulse.
• Public page — the shared division page draws the same connected tree, filled from live results (TBD until a feed resolves).
• Big screen — the slideshow and presentation mode get a bracket slide — the tree, the double-elim lanes, or the stepladder rungs, whichever the stage is.
• Poster — Documents → Bracket poster exports a landscape PDF scaled to one sheet — all three shapes — with your branding on Pro or under an Event Pass.

Double elimination gets its own geometry — on the console Fixtures tab and the public page: the winners bracket on top, the losers bracket beneath it, and the grand final (plus the bracket-reset match, when configured) joining the two lanes on the right. Stepladder stages keep their rung-by-rung view — that ladder is their shape.

Playoffs (IPL style) — the Page system: Qualifier 1 (1st vs 2nd, winner straight to the Final), the Eliminator (3rd vs 4th), Qualifier 2 (Q1's loser vs the Eliminator's winner), then the Final. The top two earn a second life; the card renders on every surface like the other brackets. Pick Group + Playoffs (IPL style) in the division builder — it locks qualification to the top 4.

Round-robin stages (leagues and groups) have no tree — their visual is the results grid: a team-by-team crosstable under each standings table (console Standings tab and public page alike), home side down the rows, away side across the columns, every played score linked to its match and a pulsing dot for matches in play.

Jump to the public view. The division header carries a Public page ↗ button (public and unlisted competitions) that opens exactly what spectators see.
