Columns are rounds (same round on each match). Left to right is time: opening round must be the left column and usually has the most matches. Use Round order in Admin → Matches (same number on every match in that round: 1 = leftmost) if column order looks wrong.

Slotswithin a round (1, 2, 3…) set top-to-bottom order. Pairings feed the next column: slots 1 & 2 → next round, 3 & 4 → next, etc.

Byes: leave Away empty and set Winner to the team that advances.

Double elimination splits the tree into Winners and Losers using round names that look like losers-bracket rounds (LB …, Losers, etc.). Unlabeled rounds count as winners. Connectors are a simplified single-elim shape per bracket — not a full DE feed graph yet.

Row styling: round names containing Losers, LB R…, or Consolation use a darker blue; Grand Final or Championship use a cyan accent. Tune colors under Admin → Bracket appearance.
