Rematch in the grand final.

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

¿The library can generate an additional grand final as a rematch?; in the double elimination, all participants have a second chance. If a participant reaches the grand final without losing and loses only in that match, they should be able to have a second opportunity in that rematch match.
Thanks!

Yes, you can use grandFinal: 'double'.

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

I have applied that configuration to the stage, but it relates to the loser of the LB semi1. The mentioned rematch would involve the same participants from the grand final.

[Drarig29]

The consolation final is a separate setting. By default, you only see one match for the grand final, and a second one will appear if required.

I have the configuration (grandFinal: 'double') in the stage, but what appears is the consolation bracket. Do I need to do something additional?
The stage object:

{
      id: 0,
      tournament_id: 0,
      name: "",
      type: "double_elimination",
      number: 1,
      settings: {
        size: totalNumberPartitipants,
        seedOrdering: ordering,
        grandFinal: "double",
        matchesChildCount: 0,
        GrandFinal: 'double',
        GrandFinalType: 'double',//test
      },
    }

Thanks.

You will have 3 final matches if the library thinks it's the right thing to do:

• 2 matches of grand final
• 1 match of consolation final

The 2nd match of grand final will only be added if required. For now, you only have 1 match of grand final and 1 match of consolation final.

That's normal.

These are the steps I have taken to implement the double or rematch grand final:
1 - Add grandFinal : 'double' to stage settings.
2 - Add a new round (id: 12) related to the last group (group_id: 2).
3 - Add a new match related to the group and round mentioned in point 2

{
            "id": 31,
            "number": 2,
            "stage_id": 0,
            "group_id": 2,
            "round_id": 12,
            "child_count": 0,
            "status": 0,
            "opponent1": {
                "id": null
            },
            "opponent2": {
                "id": null
            }
        }

Are these steps sufficient? Thank you for the guidance, and I apologize for any inconvenience.
Note: I have conducted tests based on the example with-local-storage from this repository.

Can you send actual code of what you did?

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

Of course, this is the db.json file with the modifications from the previous comment. I am testing the demo with printing.
db_modified.json

[Drarig29]

@DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses so do you want to print what's rendered by the viewer?

What I'm trying to explain is that currently, the viewer takes the decision to not show any second grand final match until it's the right time to show it:

brackets-viewer.js/src/main.ts

Line 451 in 5bdcdaa

const displayCount = winnerWb?.id === null || winnerWb?.result === 'win' ? 1 : 2;

So if you have the following in your db.json file:

... // all the other matches
{
    "id": 29, // grand final, round 1
    "number": 1,
    "stage_id": 0,
    "group_id": 2,
    "round_id": 10,
    "child_count": 0,
    "status": 0,
    "opponent1": {
        "id": null
    },
    "opponent2": {
        "id": null,
        "position": 1
    }
}

You'll have:

Now, if you make the following change:

{
... // all the other matches
{
    "id": 29, // grand final, round 1
    "number": 1,
    "stage_id": 0,
    "group_id": 2,
    "round_id": 10,
    "child_count": 0,
    "status": 0,
    "opponent1": {
-        "id": null
+        "id": 0
    },
    "opponent2": {
        "id": null,
        "position": 1
    }
}

You'll get:

Thank you for the assistance provided. On this occasion, I need to generate the third-place match or consolation match. To achieve this, I added the configuration 'consolationFinal: true,' but it is not working correctly. Should the mentioned match be added within the same final round?

[Drarig29]

You should not manually add any match yourself. Can you show what it looks like with consolationFinal: true?

It used to work in your screenshots 2 months ago

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

these are my settings:

 settings: {
    size: totalNumberPartitipants,
    seedOrdering: ordering,
    grandFinal: "double",
    consolationFinal: true,
    matchesChildCount: 0,
  }

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

With consolationFinal: true in single elimination, it looks like this; I added an extra match in the same final round.

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

But an additional match is necessary, which would be the third-place match, right?
The third-place match should have its own round, or should it be in the same round as the final?

[Drarig29]

No, it should not be in the same round as the final. You should have the consolation final in a separate group (second one).

[DavidAlejandroSaenzMeneses]

Interestingly, in the double elimination, it seems to work correctly; however, in the single elimination, it generates incorrectly as in the previous image.
