The brackets were manually entered (see "ManuallyCreatedTextFiles" folder), then converted into JSON files ("AutoCreatedJsonFiles" folder) that were merged and converted to generate the different representations and groupings in the "Brackets" folder.
The "Python" folder contains Python scripts and class definitions that help format, convert, and analyze the brackets.
For example, executing "./Python/countWinsPerSeed.py Brackets/TTT/allBracketsTTT.json" generates tables that match those at http://bracketodds.cs.illinois.edu/seedadv.html.
Some Python scripts use relative paths to access the brackets, so execute them from the parent directory (e.g. "./Python/countWinsPerSeed.py").
