Having trouble with seeding/ Particpant Order

[DrewBishop]

hello, my losers bracket is not working correctly because Seedings and match placement is not working correctly. Where did I go wrong in the code and/or implementation? @teijo Can you please give me some advice? :)

@PaulMaas any advice? Would be greatly appreciated

@DrewBishop Hey, I haven't worked with the brackets in a while so I'm not sure exactly which loser bracket match doesn't match your expectation.

My guess is that your issue comes from the round 1 LB match being BYE vs BYE, so somebody gets an extra pass?

How the bracket propagates the matches is fixed, there is no configuration. It just depends on how you seed the very first round.

You might've gotten better results if WB round 1 match 2 was in the match 3 slot instead (as match 3 and 4 losers get moved to the LB round 1 match 2, now empty), i.e. seed players evenly, now they are first packed to the two first matches – though you correctly spread WB R1 M3 and M4.

The user experience is unfortunately quite fragile when the bracket is not fully populated.
