How It Works
- Admin creates rounds (sessions) over weeks or months

- Admin confirms entries, seeds players by rating, and generates the bracket
- All players play through a full-placement bracket (Cup, Plate, Bowl, Shield)
- Every player finishes 1st through Nth and earns placement points
- Overall standings are determined by best K of M rounds
Key Features
- ✓Full placement bracket - every player gets a unique finishing position
- ✓Best-K-of-M scoring rewards consistency across rounds
- ✓Flexible per-round registration - players pick which rounds to enter
- ✓Seeded draws ensure competitive matchups
- ✓Consolation tiers (Cup/Plate/Bowl/Shield) so everyone plays multiple matches
How are points calculated?
Points are based on finishing position: 1st place earns N points, 2nd earns N-1, and so on down to 1 point for last place.
What does "best K of M" mean?
Only your best K round scores count toward the overall standings. For example, in "best 5 of 8", your top 5 scores from 8 rounds determine your ranking.
