Operator preview. This is exactly how the knockout stage will appear to players once it unlocks (~June 27, when every group match finalizes). It's open early for you only — players still see a locked stage until then. The Round of 32 below seeds from the finalized Group Match results; right now it's pre-filled with the most-likely Monte Carlo qualifiers as a placeholder.

You vs the pool
Beat the machine
Donna's blind bracket — picked from pre-tournament team strength alone, locked before kickoff, no peeking at results (so she ate the same upsets you did). Just for fun: not in the pool, can't win, never moves a real standing. Beat her and chirp away.

Backfill brackets
Backfill is done — expand only to re-import
Bulk-import the participants and group-stage brackets Daniel already collected. One person per block separated by ---: an email line (optional name for display and real name for the commissioner roster), then a line per group A–L listing its four teams in finishing order (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th), comma-separated. Team names are matched to each group's roster, so partial names are fine. Optional champion and final score lines act as the tiebreaker. Imported people are marked paid; tick the box to also email them an invite.
