Tournament Schema

name	String	A human-readable identifier. Often primarily numeric (e.g., `Packet 1`), but could also be identified by authors (`Chicago` or `Yale + Maryland`), as for packet-submission tournaments.
number	Number	The packet number, if that notion is meaningful. May also be contained in the `name`, but need not be, e.g. if both `number` and `authors` are specified, the `name` will typically only contain one of them (whichever is more important).
authors	Array of `String`	The authors of the packet. May also be contained in the `name`, but need not be, e.g. if both `number` and `authors` are specified, the `name` will typically only contain one of them (whichever is more important).
role	One of the following: regular finals extra overtime replacement backup tiebreaker scrimmage	How the packet is expected to be used. An `extra` packet typically consists only of tossups, and is for use in overtime and/or as replacements, as necessary. Note that a packet might be used differently in case of unusual situations.
notes	String	Any further details on the packet.
questions	Array of `Question`	The contents of the packet, in order.

question_number	Number	The number of the question in the packet.
type	One of the following: tossup bonus lightning	The type of the question.
parts	Number	The number of parts the question has (typically `1` if `type` is `tossup` and `3` if `type` is `bonus`, but some formats may vary).
external_id	String	The identifier for the question in some external system, if any (e.g., the question IDs that NAQT prints below each question in its packet).
category	String	Freeform information about the question's category, e.g. `British History`.
category_group	String	Freeform information about the question's category at a higher level of aggregation, e.g. `History`.
text	String	The text of the question (as a single field).
clues	Array of `String`	The text of the question, broken up into clues so that `BuzzPosition`s can reference which clue was being buzzed on. Defining "clue" is outside the scope of this schema.
