---

## 🎯 Quick Start

### Simplest Example

```typescript
import { Gracket } from 'gracket';
import 'gracket/style.css';

const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: [
    [
      [{ name: 'Team A', seed: 1, score: 100 }, { name: 'Team B', seed: 2, score: 85 }]
    ],

  ]
});
```

### Feature-Rich Example

```typescript
import { Gracket, generateTournamentWithByes } from 'gracket';
import 'gracket/style.css';

// Generate tournament for 6 teams (with automatic byes)
const teams = [
  { name: 'Warriors', id: 'warriors', seed: 1 },
  { name: 'Lakers', id: 'lakers', seed: 2 },
  { name: 'Celtics', id: 'celtics', seed: 3 },
  { name: 'Heat', id: 'heat', seed: 4 },
  { name: 'Bucks', id: 'bucks', seed: 5 },
  { name: 'Suns', id: 'suns', seed: 6 }
];

const tournamentData = generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'top-seeds');

// Create interactive bracket
const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: tournamentData,
  byeLabel: 'BYE',
  roundLabels: ['Round 1', 'Semifinals', 'Finals', 'Champion'],
  cornerRadius: 15,
  canvasLineColor: '#667eea',
  
  // Real-time callbacks
  onScoreUpdate: (round, game, team, score) => {
    console.log(`Score entered: ${score}`);
  },
  
  onRoundComplete: (round) => {
    const advancing = bracket.getAdvancingTeams(round);
    console.log('Teams advancing:', advancing.map(t => t.name));
  }
});

// Interactive scoring
bracket.updateScore(0, 0, 0, 105); // Round 0, Game 0, Team 0: 105
bracket.updateScore(0, 0, 1, 98);  // Round 0, Game 0, Team 1: 98

// Auto-advance when round completes
if (bracket.isRoundComplete(0)) {
  bracket.advanceRound(0, {
    tieBreaker: 'higher-seed',
    createRounds: true
  });
}

// Generate comprehensive report
const report = bracket.generateReport({
  format: 'text',
  includeScores: true,
  includeStatistics: true
});
console.log(report);

// Track specific team
const warriorsHistory = bracket.getTeamHistory('warriors');
console.log(`${warriorsHistory.team.name}: ${warriorsHistory.wins}W-${warriorsHistory.losses}L`);
```

## 🎨 Core Features

### Basic Tournament Bracket

The foundation - display beautiful tournament brackets with any structure.

```typescript
import { Gracket } from 'gracket';
import 'gracket/style.css';

const tournamentData = [
  // Round 1 - Quarterfinals
  [
    [
      { name: 'Team A', id: 'team-a', seed: 1, score: 100 },

### Byes Support (NEW!)

Handle tournaments with any number of teams - not just powers of 2!

#### What are Byes?

In real-world tournaments, you often have participant counts that aren't perfect powers of 2 (like 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 teams). **Byes** are automatic advancements where top-seeded teams skip the first round.

#### Automatic Bye Generation

```typescript
import { Gracket, generateTournamentWithByes } from 'gracket';

// Tournament with 6 teams (normally would need 8)
const teams = [
  { name: 'Warriors', id: 'warriors', seed: 1 },
  { name: 'Lakers', id: 'lakers', seed: 2 },
  { name: 'Celtics', id: 'celtics', seed: 3 },
  { name: 'Heat', id: 'heat', seed: 4 },
  { name: 'Bucks', id: 'bucks', seed: 5 },
  { name: 'Suns', id: 'suns', seed: 6 }
];

// Generate tournament structure with byes
// Top 2 seeds (Warriors, Lakers) will get byes
const tournamentData = generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'top-seeds');

const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: tournamentData,
  byeLabel: 'BYE',           // Label for bye placeholder
  byeClass: 'g_bye',         // CSS class for styling
  showByeGames: true         // Show/hide bye visualizations
});
```

**Result:**
```
Round 1                Round 2
┌──────────────┐
│ Heat      105│────┐
│ Bucks      98│    │      ┌──────────────┐
└──────────────┘    ├──────┤ Heat      112│
                    │      │ Warriors  118│
┌──────────────┐    │      └──────────────┘
│ Suns      110│────┘
│ (6 seed)  102│
└──────────────┘

┌──────────────┐
│ Warriors     │────┐  (BYE - automatically advances)
│ BYE          │    │
└──────────────┘    │

┌──────────────┐    │
│ Lakers       │────┘  (BYE - automatically advances)
│ BYE          │
└──────────────┘
```

#### Manual Bye Structure

You can also manually create byes by using single-team games:

```typescript
const tournamentData = [
  [
    // Regular matchup
    [
      { name: 'Heat', seed: 4, score: 105 },
      { name: 'Bucks', seed: 5, score: 98 }
    ],
    // BYE - single team automatically advances
    [{ name: 'Warriors', seed: 1 }],
    [{ name: 'Lakers', seed: 2 }]
  ],
  // Next round...
];
```

#### Bye Customization

```typescript
const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: tournamentData,
  byeLabel: 'AUTO WIN',           // Custom label
  byeClass: 'custom-bye',         // Custom CSS class
  showByeGames: false             // Hide bye placeholders entirely
});
```

```css
/* Custom bye styling */
.custom-bye {
  background: linear-gradient(90deg, #f8f9fa 0%, #e9ecef 100%);
  border-left: 4px dashed #6c757d !important;
  opacity: 0.5;
  font-style: italic;
}
```

#### Bye Seeding Strategies

```typescript
// Strategy 1: Top seeds get byes (default)
generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'top-seeds');

// Strategy 2: Random byes
generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'random');

// Strategy 3: Custom (manual structure)
// Just create your own tournament structure with single-team games
```

---

### Auto-Generation (NEW!)

Automatically generate tournament brackets based on match results. Perfect for live tournaments!

#### Interactive Score Entry

```typescript
const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: initialData,
  
  // Callback fired when score is entered
  onScoreUpdate: (roundIndex, gameIndex, teamIndex, score) => {
    console.log(`Score updated: Round ${roundIndex + 1}, Game ${gameIndex + 1}, Team ${teamIndex}, Score: ${score}`);
    
    // Auto-advance when round completes
    if (bracket.isRoundComplete(roundIndex)) {
      bracket.advanceRound(roundIndex, {
        tieBreaker: 'higher-seed',
        createRounds: true
      });
    }
  },
  
  // Callback fired when round is complete
  onRoundComplete: (roundIndex) => {
    const advancing = bracket.getAdvancingTeams(roundIndex);
    console.log(`Round ${roundIndex + 1} complete!`);
    console.log('Advancing teams:', advancing.map(t => t.name).join(', '));
  },
  
  // Callback fired when new round is generated
  onRoundGenerated: (roundIndex, roundData) => {
    console.log(`Round ${roundIndex + 1} generated with ${roundData.length} games`);
  }
});

// Update scores (e.g., from user input or live feed)
bracket.updateScore(0, 0, 0, 100);  // Round 0, Game 0, Team 0: 100 points
bracket.updateScore(0, 0, 1, 85);   // Round 0, Game 0, Team 1: 85 points

// Check if match has winner
const winner = bracket.getMatchWinner(0, 0);
if (winner) {
  console.log(`Winner: ${winner.name}`);
}

// Check if entire round is complete
if (bracket.isRoundComplete(0)) {
  console.log('Round 0 is complete! Ready to advance.');
}
```

#### Manual Round Advancement

```typescript
// Advance one round at a time
bracket.advanceRound(0, {
  tieBreaker: 'higher-seed',     // How to handle tied scores
  tieBreakerFn: undefined,        // Custom tie-breaker function
  preserveScores: false,          // Keep scores when advancing
  createRounds: true              // Create next round if missing
});
```

#### Tie-Breaking Strategies

```typescript
// Strategy 1: Throw error on ties (default)
bracket.advanceRound(0, { tieBreaker: 'error' });

// Strategy 2: Higher seed wins
bracket.advanceRound(0, { tieBreaker: 'higher-seed' });

// Strategy 3: Lower seed wins (upset preference)
bracket.advanceRound(0, { tieBreaker: 'lower-seed' });

// Strategy 4: Custom function
bracket.advanceRound(0, {
  tieBreaker: 'callback',
  tieBreakerFn: (team1, team2) => {
    // Your custom logic
    // Example: Use head-to-head record
    return getHeadToHeadWinner(team1, team2);
    
    // Example: Random
    return Math.random() > 0.5 ? team1 : team2;
    
    // Example: Prefer lower seed (upset)
    return team1.seed > team2.seed ? team1 : team2;
  }
});
```

#### Full Auto-Generation

Generate the entire tournament from just the first round's results:

```typescript
// Define ONLY first round with scores
const firstRoundData = [
  [
    [
      { name: 'Team A', seed: 1, score: 100 },
      { name: 'Team B', seed: 8, score: 85 }
    ],
    [
      { name: 'Team C', seed: 4, score: 90 },
      { name: 'Team D', seed: 5, score: 88 }
    ],
    [
      { name: 'Team E', seed: 2, score: 105 },
      { name: 'Team F', seed: 7, score: 95 }
    ],
    [
      { name: 'Team G', seed: 3, score: 92 },
      { name: 'Team H', seed: 6, score: 88 }
    ]
  ]
];

const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', { src: firstRoundData });

// Auto-generate ALL subsequent rounds
bracket.autoGenerateTournament({
  tieBreaker: 'higher-seed',
  
  onRoundGenerated: (roundIndex, roundData) => {
    console.log(`Round ${roundIndex + 1}:`, roundData);
  },
  
  stopAtRound: 2  // Optional: stop at specific round
});

// Result: Complete tournament structure from quarters to champion!
```

#### Real-World Example: Live Tournament

```typescript
// Tournament management system
class LiveTournament {
  bracket: Gracket;
  
  constructor(teams: Team[]) {
    const data = generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'top-seeds');
    
    this.bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
      src: data,
      roundLabels: ['Round of 16', 'Quarterfinals', 'Semifinals', 'Finals', 'Champion'],
      
      onScoreUpdate: (r, g, t, score) => {
        // Save to database
        this.saveScore(r, g, t, score);
        
        // Broadcast to spectators
        this.broadcastUpdate({ round: r, game: g, team: t, score });
      },
      
      onRoundComplete: (r) => {
        // Notify all participants
        const advancing = this.bracket.getAdvancingTeams(r);
        this.notifyAdvancingTeams(advancing);
        
        // Generate next round
        this.bracket.advanceRound(r, { 
          tieBreaker: 'higher-seed',
          createRounds: true 
        });
      }
    });
  }
  
  // Admin enters score from match
  recordMatchScore(round: number, game: number, team: number, score: number) {
    this.bracket.updateScore(round, game, team, score);
  }
  
  // Get current tournament state
  getStatus() {
    return {
      data: this.bracket.getData(),
      stats: this.bracket.getStatistics(),
      report: this.bracket.generateReport({ format: 'json' })
    };
  }
}
```

### Reporting & Statistics (NEW!)

Comprehensive tournament reporting, team tracking, and statistics.

#### Get Advancing Teams

```typescript
// Get teams advancing from specific round
const advancingFromRound1 = bracket.getAdvancingTeams(0);

console.log('Teams advancing to Round 2:');
advancingFromRound1.forEach(team => {
  console.log(`  - ${team.name} (Seed ${team.seed})`);
});

// Get advancing from latest completed round
const latestAdvancing = bracket.getAdvancingTeams();  // No argument = latest
```

#### Get Round Results

```typescript
// Get detailed results for a round
const roundResults = bracket.getRoundResults(0);

roundResults.forEach((result, idx) => {
  if (result.isBye) {
    console.log(`Match ${idx + 1}: ${result.winner.name} (BYE)`);
  } else {
    console.log(
      `Match ${idx + 1}: ${result.winner.name} (${result.winnerScore}) ` +
      `defeated ${result.loser?.name} (${result.loserScore})`
    );
  }
});

// Output:
// Match 1: Team A (100) defeated Team B (85)
// Match 2: Team C (90) defeated Team D (88)
// Match 3: Team E (BYE)
```

#### Track Team History

Follow a specific team through the entire tournament:

```typescript
const teamHistory = bracket.getTeamHistory('warriors');

console.log(`=== ${teamHistory.team.name} Tournament History ===`);
console.log(`Final Record: ${teamHistory.wins}W - ${teamHistory.losses}L`);
console.log(`Final Placement: ${teamHistory.finalPlacement || 'In Progress'}`);
console.log('\nMatch-by-Match:');

teamHistory.matches.forEach((match, index) => {
  const result = match.won ? '✓ WIN' : '✗ LOSS';
  const opponent = match.isBye ? 'BYE' : match.opponent?.name;
  const scoreDetail = match.score && match.opponentScore
    ? ` (${match.score}-${match.opponentScore})`
    : '';
  
  console.log(
    `  ${index + 1}. ${match.roundLabel}: ${result} vs ${opponent}${scoreDetail}`
  );
});

// Output:
// === Warriors Tournament History ===
// Final Record: 4W - 0L
// Final Placement: 1
// 
// Match-by-Match:
//   1. Round 1: ✓ WIN vs BYE
//   2. Quarterfinals: ✓ WIN vs Thunder (112-98)
//   3. Semifinals: ✓ WIN vs Lakers (118-105)
//   4. Finals: ✓ WIN vs Celtics (120-115)
```

#### Get Tournament Statistics

```typescript
const stats = bracket.getStatistics();

console.log('Tournament Statistics:');
console.log(`  Participants: ${stats.participantCount}`);
console.log(`  Total Rounds: ${stats.totalRounds}`);
console.log(`  Byes: ${stats.byeCount}`);
console.log(`  Average Score: ${stats.averageScore?.toFixed(1) || 'N/A'}`);
console.log(`  Completion: ${stats.completionPercentage}%`);

if (stats.highestScore) {
  console.log(
    `  Highest Score: ${stats.highestScore.team.name} ` +
    `scored ${stats.highestScore.score} in round ${stats.highestScore.round + 1}`
  );
}

// Output:
// Tournament Statistics:
//   Participants: 8
//   Total Rounds: 4
//   Byes: 2
//   Average Score: 98.5
//   Completion: 100%
//   Highest Score: Team A scored 120 in round 3
```

#### Generate Reports (Multiple Formats)

##### Plain Text Report

```typescript
const textReport = bracket.generateReport({
  format: 'text',
  includeScores: true,
  includeStatistics: true
});

console.log(textReport);

// Output:
// ==================================================
// TOURNAMENT REPORT
// ==================================================
// 
// Tournament Statistics:
// - Total Participants: 8
// - Total Rounds: 4
// - Total Matches: 7
// - Completed: 7/7 (100%)

// CHAMPION: Team A (Seed 1)
// ==================================================
```

##### JSON Report (For APIs)

```typescript
const jsonReport = bracket.generateReport({ format: 'json' });

// Use in API calls
fetch('/api/tournaments/123/results', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify(jsonReport)
});

// Or save to file
const blob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(jsonReport, null, 2)], { type: 'application/json' });
const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = url;
a.download = 'tournament-results.json';

## 🎓 Advanced Examples

### Example 1: March Madness Style Bracket

```typescript
import { Gracket, generateTournamentWithByes } from 'gracket';

// 64 teams (power of 2, no byes needed)
const teams = Array.from({ length: 64 }, (_, i) => ({
  name: `Team ${i + 1}`,
  id: `team-${i + 1}`,
  seed: i + 1
}));

const data = generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'top-seeds');

const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: data,
  roundLabels: [
    'Round of 64',
    'Round of 32',
    'Sweet 16',
    'Elite 8',
    'Final Four',
    'Championship',
    'Winner'
  ],
  cornerRadius: 10,
  canvasLineColor: '#003366',
  canvasLineWidth: 3
});
```

### Example 2: Real-Time Score Updates

```typescript
// Connect to WebSocket for live updates
const socket = new WebSocket('wss://tournament-server.com');

const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: tournamentData,
  
  onScoreUpdate: (r, g, t, score) => {
    // Broadcast score to all spectators
    socket.send(JSON.stringify({
      type: 'score_update',
      round: r,
      game: g,
      team: t,
      score
    }));
  }
});

// Receive live updates
socket.onmessage = (event) => {
  const update = JSON.parse(event.data);
  
  if (update.type === 'score_update') {
    bracket.updateScore(
      update.round,
      update.game,
      update.team,
      update.score
    );
  }
};
```

### Example 3: Tournament Dashboard

```typescript
class TournamentDashboard {
  private bracket: Gracket;
  
  constructor(container: string, teams: Team[]) {
    const data = generateTournamentWithByes(teams, 'top-seeds');
    
    this.bracket = new Gracket(container, {
      src: data,
      onRoundComplete: (r) => this.updateDashboard(r)
    });
    
    this.renderDashboard();
  }
  
  renderDashboard() {
    const stats = this.bracket.getStatistics();
    
    document.getElementById('participants').textContent = 
      stats.participantCount.toString();
    document.getElementById('completion').textContent = 
      `${stats.completionPercentage}%`;
    document.getElementById('avg-score').textContent = 
      stats.averageScore?.toFixed(1) || 'N/A';
  }
  
  updateDashboard(round: number) {
    const advancing = this.bracket.getAdvancingTeams(round);
    
    // Update advancing teams list
    const list = document.getElementById('advancing-teams');
    list.innerHTML = advancing
      .map(t => `<li>${t.name} (Seed ${t.seed})</li>`)
      .join('');
    
    // Update stats
    this.renderDashboard();
  }
  
  exportResults(format: 'json' | 'text' | 'html' | 'markdown') {
    const report = this.bracket.generateReport({
      format,
      includeScores: true,
      includeStatistics: true
    });
    
    // Download report
    const blob = new Blob([
      typeof report === 'string' ? report : JSON.stringify(report, null, 2)
    ], { 
      type: format === 'json' ? 'application/json' : 'text/plain'
    });
    
    const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    const a = document.createElement('a');
    a.href = url;
    a.download = `tournament-results.${format === 'json' ? 'json' : 'txt'}`;
    a.click();
  }
}
```

## 📚 Data Structure Deep Dive

### Tournament Data Structure

```typescript
// Tournament is an array of rounds
type TournamentData = Round[];

// Each round is an array of games
type Round = Game[];

// Each game is an array of teams (1 or 2)
type Game = Team[];

// Single team = BYE, Two teams = Match
```

### Example: 6-Team Tournament with Byes

```typescript
const tournamentData: TournamentData = [
  // Round 1 - 2 matches + 2 byes
  [
    // Regular match
    [
      { name: 'Heat', seed: 4, score: 105 },
      { name: 'Bucks', seed: 5, score: 98 }
    ],
    // Regular match
    [
      { name: 'Suns', seed: 3, score: 110 },
      { name: 'Nuggets', seed: 6, score: 102 }
    ],
    // BYE - single team
    [{ name: 'Warriors', seed: 1 }],
    // BYE - single team
    [{ name: 'Lakers', seed: 2 }]
  ],
  
  // Round 2 - 2 matches (all 4 teams play)
  [
    [
      { name: 'Heat', seed: 4, score: 112 },
      { name: 'Warriors', seed: 1, score: 118 }
    ],
    [
      { name: 'Suns', seed: 3, score: 108 },
      { name: 'Lakers', seed: 2, score: 115 }
    ]
  ],
  
  // Round 3 - Finals
  [
    [
      { name: 'Warriors', seed: 1, score: 120 },
      { name: 'Lakers', seed: 2, score: 115 }
    ]
  ],
  
  // Champion
  [
    [{ name: 'Warriors', seed: 1 }]
  ]
];

## 🆚 Migration from v2.0

**Good news!** All new features in v2.1 are 100% backward compatible. Your existing code will continue to work without any changes.

### Before (v2.0)
```typescript
const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: tournamentData,
  cornerRadius: 15
});
```

### After (v2.1)
```typescript
// Same code works identically
const bracket = new Gracket('#bracket', {
  src: tournamentData,
  cornerRadius: 15
});

// NEW: Optional features available
bracket.updateScore(0, 0, 0, 100);
const advancing = bracket.getAdvancingTeams(0);
const report = bracket.generateReport({ format: 'json' });
```

**Key Changes:**
- ✅ All existing APIs unchanged
- ✅ All existing tests passing
