This document proposes a narrative display to summarize sports tournaments using a tree layout to show tournament structure, small multiples to detail individual matches, and tweets to capture fan reactions, using data from the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League as an example. The display would be hosted at uclfinal.twitter.com and divided into three main sections for tournament overview, match details, and fans' reactions.
