Features to consider:
The following are the features that we would like you to incorporate in creating the new pages.
1) Global Navigation
Our existing navigation is a 3 level navigation, we want to implement main global navigation that will bring the navigation into 4 level. See the provided sitemap to get a view of the new navigation. The existing navigation of TCO14 site will fall under the "Tournament" nav.
2) Breadcrumbs
To help users keep context for where they are in the site.
