Tournament brackets styling or tables?

Okay, so i have a site (obviously ) and it has a matches page with tournament brackets on it. i was wondering if there was any way to do this alot more simply instead of using white text which would be invisible.

Heres my page:

www.gamersinsaninty.com/matches.php

and heres my code

<span class="content">These are the Resaults of this weeks Weekly Tournements.<strong><BR><BR>
Team 1                      
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="white">_______</font>}~Winner<BR>

  </span>

Code (markup):

 

use &nbsp for your spacing issues (it inserts a space just like a space-bar would in a word document) if you must make your bracket purely out of text.

my real advice is to use something like photoshop (gimp and paint.net are free) to create the bracket image and insert the text. you can save the template so that when you update your bracket, a few quick changes to the template will let you create a new image.

that way, instead of 18 lines of code, you'll just have an img tag (which should be really small since you'd be using only black and white, and, i assume, the .gif file type)

 

sorry for the double post but i feel it's worth pointing out that the page doesn't look right in firefox. I guess it still works, but it looks odd:

 

You're welcome to use the one I've got for my Celebrity Brackets.

 

thanks but i ended up using tables, also, i dont see how i would do the image thing. because i would have to set exact positions for my text and that would either mean alot of span/p classes in css or lots of <span style=""> in my code and i think it would just mess it up

Thanks for allowing me to use your brackets mizaks, but its not exactly what im looking for.

also dzdrazil, does it still appear like that? it shouldnt. I am using firefox also and it renders fine.
