Structure

Smaller Tournaments

Smaller tournaments or basic event articles are loosely arranged using the following scheme:

Tournament Information Box: Gives a quick overview about the event
Overview Section: General Information about the Event (such as date and place) in few sentences
Tournament Information: Lists more details about the event, can be expanded into the following sub-sections:
1. Participants: Full list of all participants, usually done for smaller events (up to 32 players)
2. Prize Pool: Distribution of the prizes and information about the sponsor(s)
3. Format: Brief description of the format used (Group Stage, Best of, Map Pool)
Results: Full list of results of the tournament and links to VODs
External Links: Links about coverage, announcement and interviews
References: Section used to list sources

The sections listed are automatically created if headers are used:

==Section 1==
===Section 1.1===
===Section 1.2===
====Section 1.3====

Larger Tournaments

Larger tournaments like the World Cyber Games can be arranged differently. For larger group stages, a higher number of participants or difficult qualification systems can feature too much information for a single article. For these special cases navigation boxes can be used to spread the information over several tabs.

How often and when a tournament article is split into more sub articles depends on the size of the tournament. To create sub-pages, the Tabs-Header template is used. This template has to be added on top of the main article and all sub articles.

To create a page and sub-pages, the line name of the article should be added to the URL in the browser, the names for the sub-pages will be added with "/subpage" afterwards.

Example

"https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ExampleTournament": To generate the Overview page with the Infobox and a very basic information
"https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ExampleTournament/Qualifiers": To generate a sub page dedicated to all qualifier results
"https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ExampleTournament/Main_Event": To generate a sub page listing the results of the Main Event

Wiki-Code: Tabs Header / Navigation Box for C&P
{{TabsHeader \|name1=Overview \|link1=Example Tournament \|name2=Qualifiers \|link2=Example Tournament/Qualifiers \|name3=Main Event \|link3=Example Tournament/Main Event \|This=1 }}

Explanation: Tabs-Header
the "link1=" to "linkX=" values create a link to a (sub) page the "name1=" to "nameX=" values change the text for the respective link generated with the "linkX=" values the "This=" value (number) removes the link and indicates which page is currently displayed; in the example 1 is used for the Overview Page, 2 for the Qualifiers, 3 for the Main Event entries for "link" and "name" can be added and removed as needed. The only value to change per (sub) page is the "This=" value.

To view a page using Navigation Boxes, see also: WCG 2010

Larger Tournaments - Advanced Editing

If a larger tournament was split into several sub pages, the results of the final stages are usually written on the overview page and one of the sub pages. The information does not have to be added twice, instead transclusions can be used.

To read more about transclusions, see also: Help:Transclusion

To view an example about transclusions see also:TLS 1 Overview and TLS 1 Main Tournament

Requirements for Tournaments

Theoretically any Brood War related tournament, regardless of mode, skill of participants and size of prize pool can be added to the Brood War Wiki. However, tournaments not notable in one way or the other (one time clan tournaments without prizes) might be moved on to a user's user space. There is currently no policy to determine whether or not a tournament is notable.

Additionally, every foreign (non-Korean) tournament can be added to the overview table in the Global Scene Overview. For this overview a few requirements must be met:

The participants are notable or
The tournament features a larger prize pool

Explanation: Table of Participants
Please note that the Table of Participants is not a fixed template, but a Wiki Table using different styles. Consequently, the information needs to be added following a different pattern. In the example listed one row has to be added like this: \| Protoss Player \|\| Terran Player \|\| Zerg Player Once the rows should be empty, the respective cell is left with just one (or more) spaces. Example: \|Protoss \|\| Terran Player \|\| This gives out a row without a Zerg player and an empty cell, where usually a Zerg is. Using the same logic a new column can be added in the header of the table for race pickers or random players. Players which do not have a Liquipedia page should have their link removed by adding the parameter \|link=false in the {{player}} template, as shown in the example above.

Prize Pool

Depending on the distribution of the prizes (amount of places featuring a prize), different tables can be used. The following section lists a few examples and their respective Wiki-Code.

Example - Basic Table

750 USD were divided among participants as follows:

Place	Prize	ID
1st	$300	Scan
2nd	$150	trutaCz
3rd	$115	Michael
4th	$75	Julia

Code: Basic Prize Pool Table C&P

750 {{Abbr|USD|United States Dollars}} were divided among participants as follows:

Example - Advanced Prize Pool Table

The newest and probably best looking way to visualize prize pools can be done by using the Prizepool SE Template. A full explanation about all variables is listed in the Template documentation itself.

Group Tables

Depending on the format and mode of a group stage, different tables can be used.

Dual Tournament Format

The Dual Tournament Format usually refers to a group of four players, who play out a Four Man Double Elimination Grid. This can either be displayed by adding the template for a Four Man Double Elimination Grid, or a custom made table.

Brackets

Creating Tournament Brackets

Brackets are common in the Elimination Stage of the tournament, after group play. Brackets represent an easy way to visualize and organize the remaining participants and their potential opponents.

There are two main ways of creating a Bracket

Manually using the guide below. This route takes a little time to become oriented, but the Templates make things very straight forward.
Using the graphic user interface Bracket Managers created by Chapatiyaq. This route also takes a little orienting, but may be easier to use for straight-forward brackets. These bracket managers generate the code necessary to paste into the tournament page

Filling the Bracket Templates (Manual) - General guidelines

The entries per line have to be added from top to bottom. The player added in the first line will show up in the top of the bracket, vice versa, the player to be entered last will show up in the bracket at the bottom
Winner nick names are written in bold
If a result of a match is unknown or the format was a Best of One, "W" for "win" and "L" are added
If a bracket is reconstructed from partially missing data (e.g. 8 Man SE Bracket, only participants and Semi Finalists are known), it is helpful to start adding the overall finals first and fill the gaps later

Explanation: Bracket Code in General
\|R1D1=	Name of the player The D is a hint that the player was seeded (first Round of a Bracket or coming from Winner's Bracket into the Loser's Bracket)
\|R1W1=	Name of the player The W is a hint that the player won the previous round
\|R1D1race=	race of the player Values: T - P - Z - R
\|R1D1flag=	Flag of the Player Country Codes (KR, US, CN, ...) are used or Full country names (Korea, United States, China, ...)
\|R1D1score=0	Score of the player Values: Numbers or W/L

There is a number of templates available on Liquipedia that can be used to easily create brackets for tournament pages. This page gives an overview on how to use them.

When do I use which template?

In the above example, the first line thus reads:

|R1D1=ZerO  |R1D1race=z  |R1D1score=0  |R1D1flag=kr

The "flag" parameter is optional, and accepts any common two character country code. In addition, it is possible to customize the names of the rounds by using the parameters R1, R2, R3, etc., or remove them outright by setting the parameter "hideroundtitles" to true. Example:

|R1=This is a custom round name
|hideroundtitles=true

It is also optional to include a match for the third place by filling out the corresponding parameters.

In the above example, after entry of the match winners and player details, the details of the match can now be entered. For example, the name of the maps and which player won each game, where "1" represents player R1D1 and "2" represents R1D2. Alternately, "skip" can be entered for a game that was not played, such as game 3 of a BO3 or if a walkover occurs. Other match details can also be added, but are optional. These include links to any available videos, TeamLiquid forum threads for Previews, Live Reviews, Interviews, or Recaps.
