Tournament format guide
Jamboree / fixed games
A development schedule gives each team up to three games with no standings or playoffs.
When this format works well
Use this for development-focused events where predictable game guarantees matter more than standings or a champion.
How scheduling is handled
The optimizer schedules every division against the shared ice pool, keeps dependent playoff games after their prerequisites, and compares rest, daily balance, stage progression, schedule efficiency, and start-time fairness.
