Tournament Brackets: Basics for Beginning Tournament Directors

[Honors]

Hi Everyone,

Just finished the bracket that I was creating so that it can be used by new, current and future tournament directors that wish to make a tournament when there is no computer program access for the director to use. I hope that this will be useful for those who would like to continue making tournaments so that they can do their best to make it the best, most fair, and enjoyable possible.

I also ask for veteran tournament directors to look at this and critique it so that I may make improvements by editing it.

The program I used to make these brackets was Chemsketch, originally for my studies, but I learned to use it to make the tournament brackets. If you wish to make edits yourself you can do so by downloading the freeware by this link and using the blank tournament brackets to fill in the numbers. (Unfortunately I don't have the file, it got corrupted).

The tournament brackets can be found on the AVACS page by this link:

Here are the direct links to the brackets

I know that the brackets may or may not stay on the AVACS site depending on the club and with their new current webmaster, so if you know a better way to ensure its longevity on this board, then don't hesitate to make the suggestion. Again, hope this helps, and please provide critiques on it.

GodMeowMix:

Don't worry, this can work as a supplement with the brackets incase anything goes wrong, or can complement by using filling in the blank brackets with the computer program

HungryBox:

Is this it?
