Possible to add way for users to play matches with more than 1v1? (Not teams, and no need for full roster-like capabilities). It's similar to round robin, in that it produces a table for overall scores.. But it isn't player vs player, but players scored for matches.
For example:
4 players are playing a game, Game of Thrones on Steam. There are no teams, any vs any.
They will play all factions one time each, so that's four games/matches.
Then at the end their scores are output with winner, 2nd place, 3rd place, 4th place.
Match 1:
Tex - Winner, 5 points
Frank - 2nd, 4 points
Jack - 3rd, 2 points
Luke - 4th, 1,5 points
Etc until after match 4, their totals are summarized.
Let's call it "match bracket". It will show X matches (depending on what the tournament creator set in settings) with all participants shown in each one. Then the admin can just add a number for each entry in every match. Save scores will show "overall table" depending on the scoring method. Similar to how you see it in round robin, which has an overall table above the specific matches. So just adding scores (numerical) for each participant in each match. Those may vary depending on the game, and shouldn't really matter for how it is output.
It will automatically assign the winner etc when the match treshold is met =)
Why?
Some tournaments are not 1v1 or team vs team, but any vs any. This will allow users to keep using XFA Tournaments to log and control their tournaments, even when playing any vs any. Also, this will show up in stats/leaderboard. So it's all to keep things within the XFA Tournaments ecosystem
