1. A system for attaching a cross runner to a main runner in a non-rectangular suspended ceiling grid, comprising:
a connector bracket of unitary, one-piece construction having a base with a completely flat face configured to abuttingly engage with a main tee web of the main runner in an installed configuration, a hole penetrating through said face configured to receive a screw through a cross tee aperture in the main tee web, the bracket having a leg angularly diverging from the base and defining an acute or obtuse angle with the main runner in the installed configuration, the leg having a vertical surface and an asymmetric horizontal flange horizontally spaced from the base a distance substantially equal to a distance defined by an edge of a flange of the main runner extending from the main tee web such that a lower edge of the horizontal flange is substantially coplanar with a lower face of the flange of the main runner in the installed configuration, the vertical surface being one piece with the base and extending beyond the asymmetric flange, a fastener receiving hole in the vertical surface configured to receive a fastener extending through the vertical surface and attaching a cross runner web to the bracket, the vertical surface and the web of the cross runner attached thereto lying in vertical planes substantially intersecting the hole in the base.
