Official bracket

By default, build / run inject a curated fragment from oddsgraph/data/wc2026_schedule.json (104 FIFA-reviewed fixtures exported once from oddsfox-pipeline's OpenFootball warehouse). The curated snapshot includes completed knockout participants plus explicit Final / Third Place winners (Spain champion, England third).

What gets added

• Stage ladder: Group Stage → Round of 32 → Round of 16 → Quarterfinals → Semifinals → Final → Champion, plus Semifinals → Third Place (STAGE ADVANCES_TO STAGE)
• All 104 matches placed with MATCH PART_OF STAGE
• Knockout progression MATCH ADVANCES_TO MATCH derived from team continuity across consecutive stages
• inference_method=official_bracket on those edges and nodes

Regenerate the schedule snapshot

Requires a local oddsfox-pipeline DuckDB:

uv run python scripts/export_wc2026_schedule.py

The exporter preserves any existing per-fixture winner_team overlays when rewriting the JSON.

Escape hatch

oddsgraph build --no-official-bracket

Or on a full run:

oddsgraph run --no-official-bracket
