After throwing away a previous project from aiming a bit too high and being a relatively new team of hackers, we used what experience and time we had left to create an esports tournament bracket creator. We agreed later that taking the time to full set up a cleaner software engineering process would allow for smoother collaboration overall.

What we accomplished: -tourney display window that takes in tournament style, game type, series type, and finals series type (drop down menus) -check in window that adds teams to the program, adds in player data to teams, and displays that teams players (must first select a team after creating one; drop down menu) -the logic to simulate an entire single elimination tournament (creates bracket based on number of teams, accounts for first round byes, eliminates teams upon selecting winners, putting byes on correct sides of the tournament) -the gui for the single elimination tournament upon starting the tournament (displays the teams in the first 2 rounds correctly)

Unfinished: -connecting the files so that the logic could update with manual input, not test statements -updating the gui as the tournament progresses

Original end goals: -fancier gui -selection of bracket types -accounting for different game types -direct gui interaction -gui displays team/game info
