Previous/Current/Next calculation

Similar to Template:Infobox NCAA Basketball Conference Tournament, four variables exist in the chart for special circumstances, based upon the Yearly football game infobox template.

First off, here are the 4 relevant variables:

| FirstTournamentEver=
| LastTournamentEver=
| Different Previous=
| Different Next=

....and here is how you use each one:

| FirstTournamentEver= Simply type "Yes" (or anything really) and the backwards pointing year will be 
blanked. You should use this if this is the very first year in a string of tournaments.

| LastTournamentEver= Simply type "Yes" (or anything really) and the forwards pointing year will be 
blanked. You should use this if this is the very last year in a string of tournaments.

| Different Previous= In this one, you must type in a different link to send the previous year to. 
For instance, typing [[2004 SEC softball tournament|2004]] would point the preceding tournament 
to the 2004 SEC Tournament. It is important that you use the year after a | sign so that only the year 
shows up.

| Different Next=In this one, you must type in a different link to send the next year to. For instance, 
typing [[2007 SEC softball tournament|2007]] would point the next tournament to the 2007 SEC 
Tournament. It is important that you use the year after a | sign so that only the year shows up.

Here is an example of what would happen if you wanted to have this as the first ever tournament in a series. (I removed most of the other variables so it is easier to see):

2004 Southeastern Conference softball tournament
Classification	Division I
Site	Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Champions	Alabama (1st title)
Winning coach	Mitch Gaspard (1st title)
Runner-up	LSU (1st title game)

{{Infobox NCAA Softball Conference Tournament |
| Year=2004
| Conference=Southeastern Conference
| ShortConference=SEC
| City=Tuscaloosa, Alabama
| Champions=[[Alabama Crimson Tide softball|Alabama]]
| TitleCount=1st
| Coach=[[Mitch Gaspard]]
| CoachCount=1st
| RunnerUp=[[LSU Tigers softball|LSU]]
| RunnerUpGameCount=1st
| FirstTournamentEver=Yes
}}

.....as you can see, there is no previous link, but there is an after link. (to the next one) Now, let's see what happens if I want to link to a different subsequent tournament (this time without turning off the previous one):

2004 Southeastern Conference softball tournament
Classification	Division I
Site	Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Champions	Maryland (1st title)
Winning coach	Gary Williams (1st title)
Runner-up	LSU (1st title game)

{{Infobox NCAA Softball Conference Tournament |

| Conference=Southeastern Conference
| ShortConference=SEC
| City=Tuscaloosa, Alabama
| Champions=[[Maryland Terrapins softball|Maryland]]
| TitleCount=1st
| Coach=[[Gary Williams (basketball)|Gary Williams]]
| CoachCount=1st
| RunnerUp=[[LSU Tigers softball|LSU]]

| Different Next=[[2008 SEC softball tournament|2008]]
