/**
* MLS Season + Playoffs Simulator
*
* Monte Carlo simulation of the MLS regular season and MLS Cup Playoffs.
*
* Two modes, auto-detected at runtime:
*
* Mode 1: Known-Seed
* Used when all 18 playoff seeds (19 East, 19 West) are set via the `seed`
* input and a `region` ("Eastern"/"Western") is present for every playoff team.
* Simulates the playoff bracket directly from those seeds.
*
* Mode 2: Regular-Season Projection (default)
* Simulates remaining regular-season games per team using Elo vs the average
* opponent (1500), per conference. Top 9 teams per conference qualify.
* Then simulates the MLS Cup Playoffs bracket.
*
* Conference assignment resolution order:
* 1. regularSeasonStandings.conference (populated by standings sync)
* 2. seasonParticipantSimulatorInputs.region ("Eastern" or "Western")
* 3. Error conference must be known for all teams
*
* MLS Cup Playoffs format (18 teams: 9 East + 9 West):
* Wild Card : E8 vs E9, W8 vs W9 single game (no draws; PKs if tied)
* Round 1 (Conf Quarters): best-of-3 E1 vs WC winner, E2 vs E7, E3 vs E6, E4 vs E5
* (same structure West)
* Conference Semifinals : single game 4 per conference 2 per conference
* Conference Finals : single game 2 per conference 1 per conference
* MLS Cup : single game East champion vs West champion
*
* Probability mapping:
* probFirst = MLS Cup champion (1 per sim)
* probSecond = MLS Cup finalist (1 per sim)
* probThird/Fourth = Conference Finals losers (2 per sim split evenly)
* probFifthEighth = Conference Semifinals losers (4 per sim split evenly)
* Wild Card losers, Round 1 losers, non-qualifiers all 0
