About Gauntlet

Most bracket tools are built for one sport and make you pretend yours is that sport. Gauntlet has no idea what you are running, and that is the point: you define the sign-up questions, and every division filter, every roster column and every quick filter is generated from your questions rather than from someone else's assumptions about weight classes. Ask for a birth year and a belt colour, or a peak rank and a region, or a handicap and a boat class. Then build divisions by stacking those answers — "12 to 15" and "under 150 lbs" and "Beginner" — press Auto-sort, and drag the handful of arguments into place yourself. The bracket is the part people get wrong. Gauntlet stores a draw as a wiring diagram plus a list of results and works out who is standing in every slot on every read, so correcting a score three rounds back re-routes both brackets instantly and cannot leave last week's winner printed somewhere downstream. Double elimination is properly wired: losers cross over when they drop so nobody meets the player who just knocked them out, byes advance without costing anybody a life, and the grand final resets for one decider if the losers-bracket player wins it. The whole draw lives on a panning, zooming stage with the winners bracket above and the losers bracket below, wired in two colours, and a match card tells you where the winner goes AND where the loser drops before you commit to it.
