Bug: Bracket view inconsistent — “Double elimination” + LIVE + Bye placement vs QF results (Mario Kart Tourney)

[Yuxiang-Huang]

Environment

• Tournament: Mario Kart Tourney (example URL from UI):

Summary

The bracket page shows inconsistent progression and labeling relative to quarter-final results and the advertised format.

Observed issues

1. Format mismatch: Header/subtitle indicates Double elimination and Prize pool $5,000, but the visible layout is a single tree; no losers bracket is shown.
2. Quarter final vs semi final: QF Match 4 is Player_23 vs yuh (yuh wins). A later semi slot still references “(Match 4 winner)” next to a Bye, which does not match the actual QF 4 outcome.
3. Grand finals: Championship shows Bye vs Player_2 with a scheduled time — a grand final should not include a Bye if seeding completed; winners from semis (e.g. Player_18 after winning a semi) do not align with the GF pairing shown in the UI.
4. Status tag: A QF match shows LIVE while also displaying a final score (0–2) and a selected winner — status should likely be completed, not live.

Expected

• Bracket structure matches double elimination if that is selected (winners + losers paths), or the UI should not label the event as double elimination.
• Each round’s feed should show the correct previous-match references; Bye lines should only appear when mathematically correct.
• Match status (LIVE vs final) should be mutually consistent with scores and locked seeding.

Notes

Reproduce on the deployed bracket URL above; inspect bracket generation / progression logic for this tournament size (6 entrants listed on tournament page vs “5 players” / byes in bracket — also worth reconciling).
