 | This template uses Lua: |
This template generates a generic 8-team tournament bracket. It is designed to minimize the use of vertical space. It also allows the use of a third-place playoff; to display the third-place match, the parameter "RD3b" must be non-blank.
Despite its name, this bracket does give the option of having seeds. Seeds can be generated on a team-by-team basis; if you want a box for a seed, use the RDX-seedZ= parameter and put something in it (a blank box can be generated with RDX-seedZ= ). If you omit the parameter or leave it blank, the box will not appear.
