What's Next?

• Ajax : to load data from a given source and then init the bracket.
• Tooltips : to hover and expose an element with more info from each team & round.
• Refactor $ Usage : reduce jQuery methods in the area of "creating elements", "elements lookups", and "element inline styles".
• Data Dive : A more in depth view at how to structure data to adequatly use gracket.
