- contain more than 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes) in main body text (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables);

[edit] Tournament Brackets
I know we began to discuss this in the previous section, but I think it would help if we all listed here what we need in terms of brackets created.
| Bracket Type | Example | Comments | Fixed Template |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 team-double elimination | NCAA Regionals (1999-Present); some older NCAA tourney; some conference tourneys | Template:4Team2ElimBracket | |
| 2 4-Team Double Elimination with 4-Team Single Elimination Play-In game | ACC 11-team Tourney | I used Template:4TeamBracket to represent the 4-team play in round, and then the Template:SECBracket for the rest of the tournament | The current setup is satisfactory. |
| 8-Team TRUE Double Elimination with 2-Team Single Elimination Play-In game | ACC 9-team Tourney | I used Template:2TeamBracket to represent the play-in game, and then the Template:8Team-DoubleElimin-Bracket for the rest of the tournament, this template is terrible and is missing a game and lines of progression. I have no idea how to edit these and create what I need. It is also missing seedings. | Template:2TeamBracket |
| 6-Team Double Elimination, no byes |  |
NCAA tourneys from 1976 through 1998, SEC tourneys from 1993 through 1995, Big 12 tourneys in 1997 & 1998 [1] | Template:6Team2ElimA; Template:6Team2ElimB; Template:6Team2ElimC |
| 8-Team ACC-Style Double Elimination |  |
I did my best to illustrate how this bracket works. By breaking it down into three sections I think people get the idea without having to literally read instructions. | Template:ACCBaseball80-03 |
| 7-Team ACC Single & Double Elimination mix |  |
This one is straight forward. It's basically a 4-team Double Elimination bracket with 3 seperate play-in games. Used from 1973-78 | Template:ACCBaseball73-78 |
| 2 team; three game series | Super Regionals; Older (1950's-1970's) NCAA Tourneys | Basically, if you could take the "Finals" section of Template:CWSBracket and make it stand-alone then that would be perfect. | Template:3GameSeries |
| modified 8 team, double-elimination | old CWS (1950-?) | Template:8Team2ElimBracket doesn't work for 1950 College World Series (and others) - some of the later matchups don't work out | [in the works...] |
feel free to add or move this list where appropriate. - Jober14 17:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
