Planning process

The organizer enters only the four entrants in the player field and retains eight total guests for the wider event. Six pairings are generated. A detailed schedule groups two simultaneous encounters per wave, followed by rubric feedback rather than a physical final.

Result explanation

Participant count and guest count answer different questions. The match outline should not assign observers to games they did not enter. The single judge’s role is stated honestly instead of implying a panel.

Alternative

Invite observers to an unscored cooperative table if they want to try the rules after the demonstrations.

Execution notes

Publish actual game scoring before play and keep any judged feedback distinct from match outcomes.
