Merging of brackets

[edit]

Hey @Aidan721, great work on merging the brackets of different rounds. Here is a problem that I feel is there with this new structure. Usually the West zonal final is considered as a AFC semi-final and the inter zonal final is also considered as the same. With the merged template, it sort of seems to a regular user that the West teams played the overall AFC Round of 16 and then straightaway qualified for the final, which is clearly not true. Instead the entire tournament mini-bracket does not have the same priority level as the other zones. So, I believe that we should either shift the West zone bracket in the QF and SF section, and label it likewise or revert back to the older version which was already available. What are your thoughts on it? Anbans 586 (talk) 09:38, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe both are considered semifinals in the template. The purpose of the merge was to group "zonal semi-finals" and "zonal finals" in the same columns. The article groups the rounds alike so the bracket should as well. It's no different than {{8TeamBracket-2Elim-A}} where the Upper final (semifinal #1) occurs in the round before the Lower final (semifinal #2). Both are still regarded as semifinal games. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:48, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Aidan721 Alright, I think I would agree on the fact that the article does group these matches on the basis of them being zonal finals etc, and are still considered as semi-finals. So I now agree with you in keeping this new updated merged template. Thanks for the clarification.--Anbans 586 (talk) 15:23, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bracket update needed

[edit]

Hello @Aidan721. There is another bracket update required on this page. If you check the Zonal finals then the match between Kuala Lumpur and PSM Makassar should be shown as an "away match" when being displayed as to lead to the inter-zonal semi-final. Currently the path is being shown as to lead to "the home match", which is incorrect. Can you update the template such that this is fixed as well?
