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. 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<Matchup> CreateBracket(List<PlayerDto> 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<Matchup>();
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 });
if (NextMatch.Player1 == null) NextMatch.Player1 = winner;
else if (NextMatch.Player2 == null) NextMatch.Player2 = winner;
}
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
// 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.

### 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. Further code can be provided for seeding algorithms, repechage, and UI integration if required.
