To build competition brackets based on the grouped participants from your filtering function and perform the draw according to World Taekwondo (WT) competition rules, here is a practical approach in .NET: To build and automate a tournament draw and bracket system for World Taekwondo competition, here is a detailed, practical approach:
### Core WT Bracket Rules to Consider ***
- Single-elimination tournament structure with repechage for bronze medal (mostly WT elite events).
- Seed top athletes by WT/world ranking; remaining are drawn randomly.
- No reseeding after draw; no redraws on disqualification.
- Bracket must handle power-of-two numbers by providing byes to top seeds if participants are fewer.
### Step-by-step implementation outline ### 1. 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. Bracket Generation with Seeding and Restrictions
2. For each group, generate a bracket with single-elimination structure: - Determine the bracket size (next power of two of participants count).
- Determine nearest power-of-two number >= group count. - Seed top athletes if ranking exists; otherwise shuffle randomly.
- Assign byes to top seeds or randomly if no seeding. - Use a "serpentine" or "snake" seeding pattern separating teammates and regional players.
- Randomize unseeded fighters for fairness. - Assign byes for unfilled slots.
3. Provide pairing list for each round.
4. Optionally incorporate repechage logic (advanced).
### Example .NET code snippet for bracket creation and draw (single elimination): ### 3. Bracket Match and Progression Data Structure
```csharp ```csharp
using System; public class Match
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
public class Matchup
{ {
public PlayerDto Fighter1 { get; set; } public int Id;
public PlayerDto Fighter2 { get; set; } // null means bye for Fighter1 public PlayerDto Player1;
public int Round { get; set; } public PlayerDto Player2;
public PlayerDto Winner;
public Match NextMatch;
public void SetWinner(PlayerDto winner)
{
Winner = winner;
if (NextMatch != null)
{
if (NextMatch.Player1 == null) NextMatch.Player1 = winner;
else if (NextMatch.Player2 == null) NextMatch.Player2 = winner;
} }
public static class BracketBuilder
{
// Create bracket matchups for a single group (gender/age/weight)
public static List<Matchup> CreateBracket(List<PlayerDto> fighters)
{
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<Matchup>();
int fighterIndex = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < bracketSize / 2; i++)
{
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 });
}
}
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 ```csharp
// Group players by categories
var groups = TaekwondoPredrawHelper.GroupPlayersForPredraw(participants); var groups = TaekwondoPredrawHelper.GroupPlayersForPredraw(participants);
// For each group, build bracket and run competition loop
foreach(var group in groups) foreach(var group in groups)
{ {
Console.WriteLine($"Bracket for Gender: {group.Gender}, Age: {group.AgeCategory}, Weight: {group.WeightClass}"); var bracket = BracketBuilder.BuildBracket(group.Players);
var bracket = BracketBuilder.CreateBracket(group.Players);
foreach(var match in bracket) // Display initial bracket
bracket.Display();
// Example match loop - simulate or wait for input
foreach (var match in bracket.MatchesInRound(1))
{ {
string f1 = match.Fighter1?.Name ?? "TBD"; // Decide match winner (from input or simulation)
string f2 = match.Fighter2?.Name ?? "BYE"; var winner = DecideMatchWinner(match);
Console.WriteLine($"Round {match.Round}: {f1} vs {f2}"); 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. ***
