Description:
We should have an interface for easily providing a graphical representation of
tournament brackets, such as those used in sporting or gaming competitions.
This would be preferred over a textual description (a picture is worth a
thousand words...)

A basic syntax (based on EasyTimeline syntax) could be as follows:
<bracket>
TeamData =
id:FOO name:foo
id:BAR name:bar
id:BAZ name:baz

MatchData =
id:SF num:2 team1:FOO team2:BAR winner:FOO
id:F num:2 team1:SF team2:BAZ
</bracket>

This would create a bracket where foo plays bar, with the winner (foo) playing
baz. Additional markup may allow for other annotations such as scores, a link
to the match summary, footnotes, etc.

This bracket extension would be heavily based on developments in image
generation or SVG (not knowing how far either has gone, I am admittedly not
aware of the feasibility of this extension).
