[edit] Brackets
It's standard practice on TUF articles to not add a bracket until the semi-finals (when we can deduce an accurate bracket) are set, and for good reason:
- adding brackets implies matchups that may not necessarily (and probably won't) occur. For instance, the bracket as-is implies Jesse vs. Tim is in the second round. Either you're posting uncitable spoilers or are using a crystal ball... or just plain misusing a bracket.
- Any work saved will easily cost more work down the line when we have to rearrange all the names to show the proper succession of winners. If you're really worried about work being lost, well, that's why the bracket is commented out and not deleted.
And besides, we need a 32-man bracket anyway. hateless 06:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Since we now know the semi-final matches, I have updated the tournament bracket and made it visible on the page. One thing I am unsure of is how to handle Patrick Schultz replacing Paul Bradley prior to the second round. You see Paul winning the first round/qualifier and then Patrick competing in his place on the bracket. Is the Episode 3 summary sufficient or does there need to be a comment of some sort within the bracket section? --TreyGeek (talk) 15:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
