Introduction

You also have an ability to use predefined tournament tempates.

Tempates are predefined classes, that make it easier to create commonly used tournament brackets with any number of Teams.

Creating a tournament

Start with creating a new Tournament_SingleElimination class.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Create a tournament
$tournament = new TournamentGenerator\Preset\Tournament_SingleElimination('Tournament name');

You can also set play time, time between games and time between rounds to later calculate a timetable of the whole tournament

// Set tournament lengths - could be omitted
$tournament
    ->setPlay(7) // SET GAME TIME TO 7 MINUTES
    ->setGameWait(2) // SET TIME BETWEEN GAMES TO 2 MINUTES
    ->setRoundWait(0); // SET TIME BETWEEN ROUNDS TO 0 MINUTES

---

Adding teams

Now, you can add Teams to your tournament.

// CREATE 6 TEAMS
for ($i=1; $i <= 6; $i++) {
    $tournament->team('Team '.$i);
}

Now, we generate all the games.

// GENERATE ALL GAMES
$tournament->generate();

---

Generating results

At last you set results to all your Games one by one.

// Get all rounds
$rounds = $tournament->getRounds();

// Get all games in a round
$games = $round[0]->getGames();

// Set game results
$games[0]->setResults(
    [
        mixed 'teamID' => int 25, // FIRST  TEAM SCORE
        mixed 'teamID' => int 50  // SECOND TEAM SCORE
    ]
);
// Continue for all other games and rounds

Or you simulate all the Rounds.

// Get all rounds
$rounds = $tournament->getRounds();

//Simulate all rounds
foreach ($rounds as $round) {
    $round->simulate(); // Simulate games without scores, just to save a bracket
}

Or you can simulate a whole Tournament at once.

// Simulate games
$tournament->genGamesSimulate(); // Simulate only games for example to only save bracket to DB
$tournament->genGamesSimulateReal(); // Simulate games with results like a real tournament

---

Getting final results

Finally, you can get all the Teams ordered by their results.

// GET ALL TEAMS
$teams = $tournament->getTeams(true); // TRUE to get teams ordered by their results
