- We probably want a small vertical space between the first row of matches.
- For rows 2..N, a match needs to line up such that its top is at the center of one of the matches on the previous row and its bottom is at the center of another. The specific offset helpfully changes from row to row. It turns out to be a bit of a pain to write css for this so instead we'll just write jQuery code to manually size elements for our first pass. Eg we want something like this (note inconsistent sizing and positioning row to row):
Luckily jQuery provides convenient accessors for height and position so we can write code that literally says "make a vertical spacing div that is half the size of that div and make my div tall enough to stretch from there to there". The main thing that will need an update is that we'll need to keep references to the divs as we go along row by row. This will let us easily set things relative to other things similar to:
var newH = stretchTo.position().top + stretchTo.height()/2 - matchDiv.position().top;
This will ultimately yield the following javascript gibberish:
Last of all lets clean up our javascript slightly, in particular making our code a little more directly based on the JSON and a little less on hard-coded test variables like numTeams. And lets add a spot for the final victor:
Ugly, but sized and positioned the way we want, ready to actually talk to a server and/or get some dynamic elements (eg the ability to designate a winner and have them promote through the tournament).
Ultimately this will hopefully get rolled up into a practicum project involving tournament management.

Great post! I appreciate how you’ve integrated jQuery and JSON to create a single-elimination tournament bracket in Scala. The step-by-step breakdown, especially on how the data is structured and dynamically rendered, is super helpful. This approach opens up a lot of possibilities for anyone looking to implement real-time tournament updates in web applications. Looking forward to trying this out in my own projects!"
