Phase

A Phase object describes a part of the tournament with a unified match structure. A typical tournament might have one phase for the preliminary rounds and a second phase for the playoff rounds.

name	String	The name of the phase, such as "Preliminary Rounds" or "Playoffs".
description	String	A description of the phase. Might contain information like how teams are split into pools, the use of power-matching or elimination-based formats, etc.
rounds	Array of `Round`	The rounds within this phase.
cards_traded	Boolean	Whether teams may trade cards during this phase. For example, `true` would be used for a power-matching or elimination structure, while `false` could be used for a round-robin structure. If absent, assumed to be `false`.
pools	Array of `Pool`	The pools (or similar structures) into which teams are placed for this phase.

Round

name	String	The name of the round. Possibly numerical; possibly something like "Preliminary Tiebreaker".
description	String	A description of the round. Probably unnecessary, but useful for "special" rounds like tiebreakers.
packets	Array of `Packet`	Information on what packet(s) were used in this round. If multiple packets were used for regular play, the order of this array should be the order in which they were used. If this is omitted and the `question_set` specified in the `Tournament` object has a packet that logically matches this round's `name` (e.g. "Round 1" and "Packet 1"), it can be assumed that the matching packet was used (and no other packets were used).
matches	Array of `Match`	The matches that took place in this round.

Pool

A Pool object represents a set of teams that, in some meaningful sense, play together for the phase. They might be round-robin pools, playoff tiers, etc. It is not required that teams only play matches within their pool.

name	String	The name of the pool.
description	String	A description of the pool.
position	Number	The position/rank of this Pool among all Pool objects used for its Phase. Need not be unique (e.g. in the case of parallel pools).
pool_teams	Array of `PoolTeam`	The assignments of teams to pools for this phase.

PoolTeam

team	Team	The Team being assigned to the Pool.
position	Number	The final position/rank of this Team within this Pool.
