I am guessing you can only see these brackets when the tournament is over
The brackets display for single elimination tournaments once the tournament has filled all its slots. i.e. when the tournament is in progress and when the tournament has finished
I foudn a new issue with this mod... it deals with tournaments that are not evenly split in powers of two. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc). This one tournament I have, has 17 players; which means it has 1 extra player outside of the power of 2. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, simply by stratifying the brackets, no player would ever get more than one bye. However, with the way this system constructs the bracket, this 1 extra player gets a bye ALL THE WAY TO GRAND FINALS. This should be fixed. Or at least, put in a way that I can remove a player from a tournament to bring it down to 16, after the tournament has already started...
The way you fix this is actually relatively easy... instead of filling in bracket spots from 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... you fill them up as follows: 1, 3, 5, 7, etc, and then only start filling in the even spots when all the odd spots have been filled. So with 17 players in a tournament, you need to have a bracket setup for 32 players, not 17 (15 players will get a bye in first round, but no one will ever get more than 1 bye). Its easy to do the calculations to know how many bracket slots you need too:
