Tournaments

A bracket with a points economy on top. Tournaments play ordinary matches, so Hosting applies inside one.

Formats, brackets and placement points.

#Running one

  1. Create it. That posts the announcement and the signup panel together.
  2. Signups close when you close them, or when the bracket fills.
  3. Draw the bracket.
  4. Each game is reported like any other match until the series is decided.
  5. The final completes it and awards points.

There is no single "active tournament", so there is no limit of one and nothing to unwedge. Each is its own set of rows with its own deadlines.

#The bracket

Public on the site the moment it is drawn, round by round, every series linked to the games that decided it. A game corrected afterwards corrects the bracket.

#Points

Champion, runner-up, semi-final, quarter-final, and optionally something for entering. Every award is written to the log with a reason.

#History from before the bot

Backfill, import and log exist so older results can be entered.
