Description
Use this plugin to create tournament brackets. It supports single elimination head-to-head tournaments in any size from 4 to 256 competitors. If the size of the tournament requires a bye, the highest seeded competitors are awarded byes in the first round. You can manually set the seeding when the tournament is started, or set the seeding to be random. Bracket colors can be modified in the WordPress backend -> Settings -> Tournaments page.
You can display the brackets on any page using the [simple-tournament-brackets tournament_id="$id"] shortcode where $id corresponds to the post_id of the created tournament. For example, if the post_id for a tournament you want to display is 2025, then you should use the shortcode [simple-tournament-brackets tournament_id="2025"]. The shortcode to use is also displayed for each tournament on the WordPress backend All Tournaments page.
You can display a list of tournament matches on any page using the [simple-tournament-brackets-match-list tournament_id="$id"] shortcode where $id corresponds to the post_id of the created tournament. For example, if the post_id for the match list you want to display is 66, then you should use the shortcode [simple-tournament-brackets-match-list tournament_id="66"]. The shortcode to use is also displayed for each tournament on the WordPress backend All Tournaments page.
