I've been working on designing some brackets that are more fan friendly and informative, and wanted to get your opinion on what I've got so far. I'm going to use the final design to recreate brackets from the past. 

First One - Bigger font
Second One - Smaller Font/Spacing

Some different things I've played around with were:
- overlapping the Champ 4 and/or Champ matches
- adding more space between the Champ 16/8/4 matches
- Moving the 3rd -7th place matches up so they are all centered. I like them all together though.
- Putting the whole bracket into the same container instead of having them separate. 
- Adding lines between matches
- Adding grades to each (but that will require wider columns unless I moved the school down on the smaller one)

Note - There is some spacing issues I need to fix with the Champ 16 matches.

First one is too spread out for me. Basically two completely separate screens to see top side of the bracket. I definitely prefer to be able to see the entire top side at once, and then move on to see the entire consi bracket at once. Honestly, when I'm looking up old brackets, my favorite format is..

I like to be able to see a lot of information at once without having to scroll up and down, but that's just my preference. Your templates look clean, and I really like the box signifying the blood round. I don't know how much extra time I've spent staring at brackets to count to the blood round. Thanks for you and the rest of the brain trust and all you do.

I like the smaller font one is better. more compact and easier to follow. Anything over a 32 man bracket would look cluttered with the bigger font. . But my old ass eyes need to squint which is fine.

But, If you could records instead of grades (or both) that would be better (and if they can automatically change with wins and loses). I feel with the smaller font you can add more information as well. 
The only other thing I would add is vertical lines to the right of the two matches that will lead to the next round. I think that would make it easier to read the bracket without cluttering it up

I prefer the smaller.

It would also allow you to add the other things you want to add.

Thanks for the feedback. Small font it is. 

Added some sweet features and all the 2025 weights.

You can see head-to-head for wrestlers to see the difference in their paths. You can click on a wrestler to highlight their path. You can filter by school to highlight all wrestlers from that school and give you the weights where they have participants.

If you have any other ideas, let me know.
