Rules

How signups work

Events are created by an admin with a date and time.
Anyone can browse dates, view created events, and see participants.
You must be logged in to join an event.
The first 4 signups go to Team A.
The next 4 signups go to Team B.
Any additional signups go to Bench.

Bench players are spectators/substitutes who can step in if a player disconnects or cannot continue.

Bench and substitutions

Bench is the overflow list after both teams are filled.
Bench players may spectate and be ready to substitute.
If someone disconnects or cannot continue, an admin can coordinate a replacement from Bench.

Match records

After an event happens, it becomes a recorded game with statistics (score/kills/deaths, flags, etc.).
Screenshots are uploaded by admins and are viewable only to admins.
Screenshots are kept for a limited time (planned: 14 days) and then deleted to save storage.
Text match statistics can be kept long-term.

Future planned implementations

TrueSkill player ratings (separate ratings for 4v4 and 1v1), updated when games are finalized.
1v1 match recording and leaderboard.
Screenshot OCR assistance to auto-fill scoreboard stats (admin confirms before saving).
Export match history to CSV/JSON for offline archiving.
Admin tools for cleaning up old screenshots and old temporary data.
