Fix Bracket

Go to the admin part, then to "Competitions" and select Knockout phase for editing.

Switch to "manual" Bracket Layout.

Manually drag ties to put it in the proper order.

Then add empty, missing ties.

Save and check the result.

Now the Bracket looks much better.

Bracket Improvements

When using the Automatic User timezone functionality on your website, you can also show the kickoff time in the user timezone in the Bracket layout. Just put the time in ISO8601 format (e.g.,
“2022-11-28T20:00:00+00:00“).

Click on the extra options in the match-up.

Insert the date in special format "2024-06-30T21:00:00+02:00" (use proper date for every game) and save.

How to Render Bracket Layout on Your Site

Layout Builder

You can display a Bracket in your Competition with the help of Layout Builder. Put the Bracket block in any place your want and save.

Shortcode

If you decide to show Bracket on any page or post, you can use the dedicated shortcode [anwpfl-bracket] to do so. In argument “competition_id” you should use the exact knockout Stage ID, not main Competition ID.
