bracket-creator

A CLI to create kendo tournament brackets

Usage

You will need to compile the binary from source or download a release from github, if one is available.

To learn how to use the CLI run:

bc --help

Example usage:

make go/build && ./bin/bracket-creator create -s -f ./mock_data.csv -o ./output.xlsx

CSV format for individual matches should be (see mock_data.csv for an example):

First_Name Last_Name, Dojo

For teams, it shoud be one team per line.

Parameters

• -d / -determined - Do not shuffle the names read from the input file
• -f / -file - Path to the CSV file containing the players/teams in Name, Dojo format. Dojo is a field to ensure players/teams don't endup fighting someone of the same dojo
• -h / -help - Show help
• --no-pools - Do not create pools and have only straight knockouts
• -o / -output - Path to write the output excel file
• -p / -players - Minimum number of players/teams per pool. Extra players are added to the end of the pool if there are more than expected. The default is 3
• -r / -round-robin - Round robin, to ensure that in a pool of 4 or more, everyone would fight everyone. Otherwise, everyone fights only twice in their pool. The default is False
• -s / -sanatize - Sanatize print names into first name initial and capitalize the last name. This is useful for individual player tournaments.
• -t / -team-matches - Create team matches with x players per team. Default is 0, which means these are not team matches

Examples

Individual player tournament

bc create -s -p 4 -f mock_data.csv -o output.xlsx

Team tournament

bc create -t 5 -f mock_data.csv -o output.xlsx
