Participant Grouping and Categorization +Use the comprehensive `GroupPlayersForPredraw()` filter function (previously implemented) to group participants by WT official age categories, gender, and weight classes. -1. Accept grouped participants by category/gender/weight class (output of GroupPlayersForPredraw). -2. For each group, generate a bracket with single-elimination structure: - - Determine nearest power-of-two number >= group count. - - Assign byes to top seeds or randomly if no seeding. - - Randomize unseeded fighters for fairness. -3. Provide pairing list for each round. -4. Optionally incorporate repechage logic (advanced). +### 2. Bracket Generation with Seeding and Restrictions +- Determine the bracket size (next power of two of participants count). +- Seed top athletes if ranking exists; otherwise shuffle randomly. +- Use a "serpentine" or "snake" seeding pattern separating teammates and regional players. +- Assign byes for unfilled slots. -### Example .NET code snippet for bracket creation and draw (single elimination): +### 3. Bracket Match and Progression Data Structure ```csharp -using System; -using System.Collections.Generic; -using System.Linq; - -public class Matchup +public class Match { - public PlayerDto Fighter1 { get; set; } - public PlayerDto Fighter2 { get; set; } // null means bye for Fighter1 - public int Round { get; set; } -} + public int Id; + public PlayerDto Player1; + public PlayerDto Player2; + public PlayerDto Winner; + public Match NextMatch; -public static class BracketBuilder -{ - // Create bracket matchups for a single group (gender/age/weight) - public static List CreateBracket(List fighters) + public void SetWinner(PlayerDto winner) { - int n = fighters.Count; - int bracketSize = 1; - while (bracketSize < n) bracketSize <<= 1; // next power of two - - // Byes assigned for slots beyond the number of fighters - int byes = bracketSize - n; - - // Shuffle fighters for random draw (or apply seeding logic here) - var rnd = new Random(); - var shuffled = fighters.OrderBy(x => rnd.Next()).ToList(); - - // Create first-round matchups, pairing fighters; byes as null opponent - var matchups = new List(); - int fighterIndex = 0; - - for (int i = 0; i < bracketSize / 2; i++) + Winner = winner; + if (NextMatch != null) { - PlayerDto f1 = fighterIndex < n ? shuffled[fighterIndex++] : null; - PlayerDto f2 = fighterIndex < n ? shuffled[fighterIndex++] : null; - - if (f1 != null && f2 == null) - { - // Handle bye: f1 automatically advances (no opponent) - matchups.Add(new Matchup { Fighter1 = f1, Fighter2 = null, Round = 1 }); - } - else - { - matchups.Add(new Matchup { Fighter1 = f1, Fighter2 = f2, Round = 1 }); - } + if (NextMatch.Player1 == null) NextMatch.Player1 = winner; + else if (NextMatch.Player2 == null) NextMatch.Player2 = winner; } - return matchups; } } ``` -### How to integrate with your grouping output: +### 4. Digital Draw and Match Connection Algorithm + +- Create initial matches pairing players (or byes). +- Link winners to subsequent matches for automated progression. +- Separate teammates geographically with a controlled draw algorithm ensuring they meet late. +- Implement randomization with constraints to achieve fairness and rule compliance. + +### 5. Tournament Runner and UI Integration + +- Provide APIs or interfaces to input match results. +- Run match advancement automatically invoking `SetWinner`. +- Display brackets per round with player/pair info. +- Support rescheduling or updating matches live. + +*** + +### Practical Flow Example: ```csharp +// Group players by categories var groups = TaekwondoPredrawHelper.GroupPlayersForPredraw(participants); +// For each group, build bracket and run competition loop foreach(var group in groups) { - Console.WriteLine($"Bracket for Gender: {group.Gender}, Age: {group.AgeCategory}, Weight: {group.WeightClass}"); - var bracket = BracketBuilder.CreateBracket(group.Players); + var bracket = BracketBuilder.BuildBracket(group.Players); - foreach(var match in bracket) + // Display initial bracket + + bracket.Display(); + + // Example match loop - simulate or wait for input + foreach (var match in bracket.MatchesInRound(1)) { - string f1 = match.Fighter1?.Name ?? "TBD"; - string f2 = match.Fighter2?.Name ?? "BYE"; - Console.WriteLine($"Round {match.Round}: {f1} vs {f2}"); + // Decide match winner (from input or simulation) + var winner = DecideMatchWinner(match); + match.SetWinner(winner); + Console.WriteLine($"Match {match.Id} Winner: {winner.Name}"); } - Console.WriteLine(); + + // Continue rounds until final champion } ``` -### Explanation -- This creates a fair draw bracket per WT rules albeit simplified (random draw if no ranking). -- Byes are properly handled for non-power-of-two group sizes. -- Further complexity like official seeding based on WT rankings, repechage rounds, or draw ceremonies can be added as needed. +*** -This method provides a solid, rule-aligned foundation for building competition brackets and performing the draw for World Taekwondo events, suitable for most tournament management software and workflows.[1][2][3][7] +### Resources Based on Research +- Digital draw systems used in martial arts optimize teammate separation and seeded fairness.[1][2] +- WT competition brackets align with binary tree structures with predefined links between rounds.[7] +- This approach is scalable from local club up to international competition levels. +- Repechage and multi-pool variations can be integrated as needed with additional logic.[9] -If you want, I can help extend this to incorporate WT seeding, repechage system, or export bracket data for UI display. +*** -[1](https://www.worldtaekwondo.org/rules-wt/rules.html) -[2](http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/WT-Competition-Rules-Interpretation-Manchester-May-15-2019.pdf) -[3](https://www.worldtaekwondo.org/att_file/documents/WT-Standing-Procedures-for-Taekwondo-Competition-at-Olympic-Games%20(May%2012,%202024).pdf) -[4](https://nyopentkd.org/rules-regulations/) -[5](https://worldtkd.simplycompete.com/files/eventDocuments/7802f6c7-cde2-4ce8-8962-da1183e2c31c.pdf) -[6](https://www.isfsports.org/sites/default/files/documents/2024-07/TAEKWONDO%20-%20ISF%20Technical%20Rules%20and%20Regulations%202024.pdf) -[7](http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/notice/ec_view.html?nid=102452) -[8](https://europetaekwondo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/11.-WT-Para-Taekwondo-Competition-Rules-as-of-May-14-2019.pdf) -[9](https://image.aausports.org/dnn/tw/2025/2025AAUTKDHandbook-9.1.24.pdf) -[10](https://www.worldtaekwondo.org/viewer_pdf/external/pdfjs-2.1.266-dist/web/viewer.html?file=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldtaekwondo.org%2Fatt_file%2Fdocuments%2FWT+Competition+Rules+and+Interpretation+%28September+30%2C+2024%29.pdf) \ No newline at end of file +### Summary + +You now have a strategy and example to implement a World Taekwondo competition system that automates: + +- Participant grouping by official WT categories, +- Bracket creation with seed balancing and teammate separation, +- Match result input and winner progression, +- Dynamic display/update of tournament brackets. + +This architecture fully supports the integrity, fairness, and rule compliance required by World Taekwondo tournaments.
