Brackets or Tournament Help

I have a question about doing a bracket or a tournament page..

This is in a DRag Race Format


Here is the jef of what Im trying to do, need help on best way to do this..


Lets say I have 10 racers, each racer puts in 5 cars each, then they want to run the cars 2 times makeing it a total of 100 cars..


Im not sure how to build a bracket that will allow me to do this with these features in mind:


One racer has 5 cars in the race, he races the car twice, so now he has 10 cars in total to run in the race.

The bracket has to allow me to put him in 10 times, something like this:

John-Chevy

John-Chevy2

John-Vette

John-Vette2

John-Mopar

John-Mopar2

John-Nova

John-Nova2

John-Truck

John-Truck2


Ok he has 10 cars in the race, we now have 9 other racers going to do the same way, now I need to randomly put all these drivers in a bracket or tournament format to were they race each other but they dont race themselfs. Which ever driver wins moves to the next bracket to race someone else that has won till the last car is left, even if one driver still hase several cars left because he hasnt lost with that man cars left.


The opions Im looking for are as follows: Once I put all the names and cars in, Im able to click a button that will sort all the cars randomly to a bracket format, once the race is run, I can click on the car that won and have a option to click won or loss, this will sort him to the next bracket , if possable a place to put in his et's allowing him to get lane choice in the next race if his time is lower than the next car he races. The bracket will sort +- the et's and light up that car for that race who gets lane choice.

All the races will run until there is no cars left, and we have a winner, I may have 5 cars left, and beat all the other cars..


Looking for all the help I can find for this, any help would be apperciated, and If your interested in a project, please let me know.. Thanks Roger
 
I just want to understand your race a bit clearer. Each driver should only have 5 cars but each race twice. So each driver is facing 2 races per car, right? Not 10 cars.


Also, if John Chevy lost the first race against Peter Prius but win in the 2nd race against Tommy Charger2, does he advance to the next round or not? Or both race is against the same racer, same car?
 
Have you checked out the tournament templates provided by Microsoft here:

One of these might get you started in the right direction.


It sounds like you want a double-elimination format type of tourney, where each racer has 5 cars entered. I don't have a template handy, but essentially what you would want to do is have two brackets...a winner's bracket and a loser's bracket. Once a car loses, it moves to the loser's bracket until it loses a second time and is eliminated.


This is how one of my softball tournaments is handled. I'm not sure of a good way to design this in a single bracket format.
 
Did you try the search box, top right of the page?
