Function of the Competitions module

Seeding draws system for competitive balance

Seeding draws in assign teams to groups or brackets based on performance tiers or rankings. The system ensures that top-ranked teams are evenly distributed to prevent early matchups.

Admins define seeding criteria and group sizes, and the system runs a draw within those rules. Seeding draws can be livestreamed or published publicly for transparency. This tool is essential for national tournaments, youth events, and international competitions.
