Start Here, Jon ๐Ÿ‘‹

What changed overnight โ€” and what to look at
Morning, Jon. You've been away from the keyboard โ€” here's what's new since you last looked, and the one thing worth a tap on each page. Everything below is live on your tablet right now.

The headline: tournaments are a real thing now ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿ†EventsNEW โ€” the big one
Each tournament is its own thing now, with its own rules โ€” rating cap, field cap, entry fee, added money.
Look at: Tap Create an event, then open it and Enter a player. Check Paid to lock their spot. Watch the count tick up and the "first 60 paid โ†’ waiting list" kick in. There's a line you can copy straight onto your Facebook post.
I already set up "Nov 21st โ€” 505 & Under" with a few players in it so you can poke at it. Heads up: the 505 cap really works โ€” it wouldn't let me enter YOU (689) into a 505 ๐Ÿ˜„. And inside the event there's a "Draw this event's bracket" button.

๐ŸŽฑDrawnow more complete
A real bracket drawn from the players โ€” byes figured out for you, spread across the bracket like you'd do by hand.
Look at: Scroll down โ€” it now lays out the WHOLE thing: the winners side, the losers' side (one loss drops you there, two and you're out), and the grand final, with the total number of matches to a champion.

๐Ÿ”ดLIVE boardcast this to the bar TV
The big-screen board for the room โ€” NOT an admin bracket. This is the answer to "why not just use DigitalPool."
Look at: It runs itself โ€” no touching. Matches cycle on their own, there's an "up next" ticker and an โšก upset watch. Players find themselves on their phone instead of poking the TV. Tables are your real 24โ€“44.

๐Ÿ“นGo LiveNEW โ€” Annabel's idea
When a player streams their match to Facebook, this is the one-tap kit they get from their "you're up" text.
Look at: Open it. It does NOT push the "I don't own the music" line โ€” that does nothing (Facebook auto-mutes regardless). It gives the player the thing that actually works, a ready-to-paste post, and the plan to put our live score right on their stream โ€” and turn every phone into a camera for the event.
Annabel's example proved it: a player streamed with NO disclaimer and wasn't pulled down โ€” because the room was quiet, not because of any magic words. He used a separate app just to fake a scoreboard. Ours would be the real one, fed from your bracket.
Open Go Live โ†’
๐Ÿ‘ฅRosterthe directory
Everyone who's registered, with their current FargoRate. That's all โ€” it's just the phone book.
Look at: No caps or flags here on purpose โ€” the cap belongs to the EVENT (it only matters when someone tries to enter a capped tournament), not to this master list.
Open Roster โ†’
๐Ÿ“‹Where things standthe whole picture
Every feature and where it is โ€” Done, Prototype, or Planned โ€” plus little tags showing what depends on what.
Look at: Four things moved to Prototype overnight because Events now work: the cap-at-entry, the live count, the field cap + waiting list, and Events itself.

๐Ÿง Brain dumptalk to me here
Drop any idea, rule, gripe, or "what if" anytime โ€” type it or snap a photo of a flyer or a screen.
Look at: I read every one and build from it. If something below is wrong or missing, this is the fastest way to tell me โ€” I'll have it changed by the time you look again.
Open Brain dump โ†’

If I've got anything wrong, tell me on the Brain dump โ€” that's what it's for. The one thing still waiting on Annabel: the go-ahead on real payments (Venmo/PayPal), which is what lets players pay from your Facebook link to lock their spot.
