Hey there, welcome to the Herald Playground Tournament Simulator!
Dive into a universe where strategy dances with chance on our cool automated tournament platform. This simulator is all about giving you a real feel for running and watching a tournament unfold, minus the sweat of competition. Here's a quick rundown on how to navigate through:
How many rounds?
You get to see your simulation go through a set number of rounds. It's a great way to check out how different games play out, whether you're in for a quick match or the long haul.
How many players?
The simulator figures out how many players you need based on your round choices. Need more or less? You can tweak the numbers as you like.
What's the deal with player strength?
Each bot player gets a strength score, shaking up their performance in the sim. Keep an eye on how this plays into the leaderboard, and adjust as you see fit.
Scoring 101
Players score points based on how they do in the sim. You can mix up the scoring to fit your game's vibe, whether that's Battle Points, WTC Points, or whatever floats your boat.
Setting up the Pairings
Pairings are sorted automatically based on your criteria. So if it's all about battle points, the high scorers face off. This goes for any criteria you set.
Who's on top?
After each round, the sim updates who's leading the pack. It's like your personal dashboard for the Tournament's Ranking progress.

Disclaimer
Please note, this is still very fresh and experimental.
First, we're checking out how you like the new simulator feature. At the moment, there are still a few differences from the normal live tournament pairings:
- • It can happen that players face the same opponents multiple times - we're not blocking this yet
- • No team protection, top cut, and so on - none of that is included yet
- • Once pairings or points for a round are set, there's no going back - changing settings afterwards does not affect the results already created
If you like the simulator, then we'll tweak it until everything fits.
