English term or phrase: as brackets go up on office walls

The 2010 campaign begins the first two days of the men’s tournaments, Thursday and Friday, March 18-19, 2010 (as brackets go up on office walls nationwide) and runs through the final women’s championship game on Tuesday, April 6

This text explains a campaign to raise funds for a favorite charity during tournament season, but I have no idea what the brackets are or how to translate that phrase. Your help would be appreciated.

cuando se colocan las llaves del torneo en las pizarras de las oficinas

Explanation:
Es el "fixture" o "draw" (ambas palabras se ven usadas en castellano también) o sea las llaves (brackets) del torneo, cuando se ha sorteado quien va a jugar con quien en cada ronda.

"cuando se coloca el sorteo" es otra posibilidad

cuando se cuelga el fixture en las oficinas de todo el país

Explanation:
siguiendo con la idea de patinba y de Arrigo, acá en la Argentina se usa la palabra fixture. te paso el link de la pagina oficial de la asociación de futbol argentina: http://www.afa.org.ar/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrap... y como te decía antes en tenis encontré que usan la palabra cuadro http://www.rolandgarros.com/es_FR/scores/draws/pdf.html.
Suerte!
