Version 1.1

EVE Online solo and fleet tournaments with public results, self-entry raffles and downloadable payout reports. A shared event link allows spectating without signing in. EVE sign-in identifies a character; it does not verify in-game fleet membership, presence or equipment. The creator and appointed co-hosts manage the event and record results.

Formats and setup

Single elimination: one loss eliminates. Without a bronze match, losing semifinalists share third place.
Double elimination: two losses eliminate. If the lower-bracket finalist wins the grand final, a reset final is added.
Round robin: every pair meets once; double round robin schedules each pair twice. Wins earn 3 points, draws 1. Points then wins determine ranks; remaining ties share rank. No automatic playoff tiebreak.

Entry order determines seeds. Odd fields receive automatic byes or rest rounds. Fleet size is chosen at creation and stays fixed. Teams are identified by comma-separated pilot names and update with roster changes; there are no custom team names. Hosts may enter teams manually, add individuals, randomize teams and adjust those assignments before Start. Randomization replaces current assignments, creates full teams plus a partial final team, and uses each pilot once. Hosts can enroll ESI-verified characters without those characters logging in. Name suggestions supplement exact ESI lookup; unavailable lookups leave saved rosters intact.

Before Start, assign every pooled pilot, give each active team at least one pilot, and review Awards. Blank award fields mean no prize. Starting generates matches; creating teams alone does not start play.

Matches, departures and late entry

Start a match directly in the bracket, or in the round-robin schedule. Both contestants must be known. Ready lower-bracket games can run before remaining upper-bracket games. A contestant cannot play two matches at once. Starting freezes the lineup; Cancel start releases an unplayed match for adjustments.

Hosts can Undo result while no dependent match has started. This reopens the original bout with its frozen lineup; record the corrected outcome using those original contestants. Cancel an unplayed dependent start first. A played bout keeps earlier results locked, even while its own result is being corrected. Automatic byes/forfeits are not editable results. Borrowed pilots return to their original team when an elimination is undone, unless they have left; a match started with a borrowed pilot also locks that elimination. Corrections are recorded in history and JSON reports.

Withdrawals retain played results and forfeit remaining matches. If both sides withdraw, there is no winner. Leaving a fleet removes only that pilot; the host withdraws the whole team.

Late solo elimination entrants and fleet pilots enter a waiting list. The host previews a placement and confirms the affected matches:

Single elimination can replace an unused bye or add a play-in against an unplayed entrant.
Double elimination can use a safe unused bye, or expand/reseed before any match is started or played. A valid lower-bracket path is required; otherwise the arrival stays waiting.
A late fleet pilot can fill a vacancy or replace a named departing pilot for future matches. Cancel any receiving team's in-progress start first. Historical lineups remain unchanged.
Solo round-robin arrivals receive additional makeup matches against nonwithdrawn entrants.

Partial teams may also receive manually or randomly selected pilots from fully eliminated teams: one loss in single elimination, two in double. Withdrawn teams do not supply substitutes. JSON reports retain lineup, substitution, departure and late-placement history.

Raffles and payouts

Opening a raffle lets any signed-in attendee enter themselves, independently of tournament membership. One entry per EVE character; alternate characters are not deduplicated into a person. Presence is not verified automatically. The host cannot enroll someone else.

Spin selects from the committed entry list and closes entry atomically. Empty or repeated spins are rejected. The server saves the random winner before animation; reconnecting or reloading cannot reroll it. Each entrant has an equal wheel slice. Large wheels use numbers corresponding to the entrant list. Reduced-motion preferences are respected.

The public Report appears when all tournament matches finish. It lists the top three places, including ties, award descriptions and raffle winners. Pending raffles are flagged; reports update as drawings finish or the host edits rewards. CSV is the payout summary; JSON also carries historical lineups and changes. Download generation time and event revision identify the saved version. Payout delivery is performed outside the app.

Undoing a finished event hides its report until it finishes again. Raffle winners and the original expiry deadline remain unchanged. Previously downloaded copies do not update.

Download before expiry: tournament data and reports expire seven days after the final tournament match, even if raffles or payouts remain unfinished. Events that have never finished do not expire automatically. Confirmed Delete tournament removes the event and its downloads immediately.

Additional hosts

The creator can add or remove up to 20 co-hosts in Hosts using ESI character lookup. A co-host signs in as that exact character and can manage entrants, matches, awards and raffles, including undo. Only the creator manages host access or deletes the tournament. Hosting does not enroll a character; removing access does not remove tournament or raffle entries. Appointed events appear in My tournaments. Simultaneous edits are protected by revision checks; stale changes require Refresh before retrying. Actions record the host responsible.

Updates and hosting

Views poll about every three seconds. Unsubmitted form changes pause automatic redraws; Refresh gets current state. On a save conflict, refresh and review before retrying. After a timeout, check whether the action was saved before repeating it.

Times are EVE / UTC.
