Developer Builds Open-Source Bracket Generator for Non-Power-of-Two Player Counts

A developer has created a single-elimination tournament bracket generator that correctly handles participant counts that are not powers of two, such as 6, 10, or 14. The tool automatically assigns BYE slots using a mirrored seeding algorithm so that top seeds are placed in opposite halves of the bracket. It accepts player names via comma- or newline-separated input, strips duplicates, and refuses to generate a bracket for fewer than two distinct participants. Winners progress automatically through the bracket by index position, and any change to an earlier round triggers recalculation of all subsequent rounds. The generator offers both a shuffled and an ordered seeding mode, making it suited for small, informally organised tournaments.
