I need a web-based platform that lets organizers spin up and run e-sports events from start to finish. The core of the build is a rock-solid tournament creation and management module: admins should be able to open a new event, set the game title, define basic rules and instantly generate a single-elimination bracket. As results come in, the bracket must update manually/automatically, advancing winners and locking completed matches to avoid tampering. Players will create accounts with a straightforward email-and-password flow. Once signed in, they can join an existing event, view their match schedule, and report scores. An admin dashboard is required for seeding, manual score overrides, and exporting final standings. Responsive pages for desktop and mobile, RESTful or GraphQL endpoints, and clean database design are all expected. Code should be readable, documented, and ready for future extensions such as double-elimination or social-media logins, but those extras are out of scope for this first milestone. Deliverables • Fully working single-elimination bracket engine • User registration & login (email/password) • Organizer panel for event setup, seeding, and score control • Player dashboard with match details and score reporting • Responsive UI, tested on modern browsers • Source code in a public or private repo with setup instructions Acceptance Criteria • Creating a tournament, adding players, and completing all rounds produces the correct champion every time. • Unauthorized users cannot edit brackets or scores. • New users can register, verify, log in, join a tournament, and report a result without admin assistance. If you have prior experience building competition platforms or bracket logic, that will help us move quickly. I’m ready to review your proposed architecture and timeline.
