Accommodate small event Playoffs #42

Closed jameslockman closed 2 years ago

jameslockman commented 2 years ago

In 2022, some events will have fewer than 25 teams. There are specific playoff rules for these events, based on the number of teams competing. Based on the following formula, allianceCount = (Team Count - 1 backup team ) / 3) rounded down the highest ranked Alliances will get a bye in playoffs. This affects alliance selection. Alliance selection must be changed to account for the reduction in competing alliances. This means that we need to remove the lowest Alliance from the table and ensure that we keep track of the ready reserve properly. We also need to reduce the teams in the ready reserve in the case that there are fewer than 8 remaining teams in the reserve list. Also, we want to indicate the number of Alliances on the setup screen.
