After an LLWS simulation, a team locked into the 5th-6th tier and one
locked into the 7th-8th tier both showed 20 points EV. They should show
25 and 15.
The simulator and calculateEV were both right. A team locked into the
5-6 tier comes out of llws-simulator at probFifth = probSixth = 0.5, and
against DEFAULT_SCORING_RULES (100/70/50/40/25/25/15/15) that is 25 —
matching calculateBracketPoints, which already knows llws_20 splits 5-8
into two tiers. The Admin -> Expected Values page just wasn't using that
table. It hardcoded its own stale copy:
const SCORING = [100, 70, 45, 45, 20, 20, 20, 20] as const;
0.5*20 + 0.5*20 = 20 for either tier.
It is not LLWS-specific. Four places carried that same stale table, and
it stayed invisible because a standard single-elimination bracket puts
all four quarterfinal losers in one tier worth avg(25,25,15,15) = 20 —
the same number. It only diverges for the templates that split 5-8
(llws_20, afl_10) and those with a distinct 3rd/4th (llws_20, fifa_48,
where 45/45 should be 50/40). Two of the four *persist* EVs computed
that way, so the wrong values reached the database:
- expected-values.tsx displayed EV, the total, and the sort order
- expected-values.server manual EV entry, written to expected_value
- golf-skills.tsx simulation EVs + snapshots, written
- surface-elo.tsx simulation EVs + snapshots, written
All four now use the shared DEFAULT_SCORING_RULES. probability-updater
had a fourth inline copy with the right values; it is folded in too so
there is one table left. The page's 340 total-EV invariant is unchanged
— both tables sum to 340.
A second path collapses the same two tiers, this time in real fantasy
points. calculateBracketPoints falls back to the flat avg([5,6,7,8])
when bracketTemplateId is null, and four call sites resolved the
template by taking an arbitrary scoringEvents row for the sports season
— unordered, and not filtered to rows that actually carry a template. A
season can own several events (a bracket plus schedule events, or a
re-created bracket beside a stale one), so a null row wins at random and
llws_20 is lost. New getBracketTemplateIdsForSportsSeasons in
models/bracket-template.ts filters to events with a template and takes
the most recent, the same rule llws-simulator uses to pick its bracket
event; standings, calculateTeamScore, calculateTeamProjectedScore and
getDraftedParticipantsWithPoints all go through it.
Tests: evFromProbs pinned to 25 / 15 / 20-for-a-single-5-8-tier and the
340 invariant; the new lookup against a mixed set of events; and two
llws-simulator tests that play out a full U.S. side so a team really is
locked into each tier and must come out at exactly 50/50 across it.

Four fixes from code review of the previous commit.
1. Preserve the futures board's dispersion (llws-simulator.ts).
convertFuturesToElo finishes by rescaling any field onto a fixed
1250-1750 Elo span, discarding how spread out the board actually is: a
board with a 22%-priced favorite and one with a 6%-priced favorite both
came out 500 Elo wide. On a tight board that inflated the favorite from
6% to 13% -- worse than the raw-futures model it replaced (RMSE 0.025 vs
0.005), so the previous commit was a regression in that regime.
buildLLWSElos now maps decompressed strengths by their log-ratio to the
field's geometric mean, so Elo span tracks real dispersion. Re-swept the
parity factor across three board shapes rather than one: 550 minimizes
total error. Simulated vs priced favorite, with RMSE:
wide 21.8% -> 20.7% (0.0055), elo span 1355-1682
top-heavy 28.2% -> 25.6% (0.0085), elo span 1354-1733
tight 6.0% -> 5.8% (0.0026), elo span 1484-1518
2. Rate an unpriced team at the field's median, not 1500.
DEFAULT_ELO is the midpoint of the Elo output range, not of the field;
on a typical board it ranked an unpriced team ~6th of 20, so blanking a
team's odds promoted it. buildLLWSElos now returns the priced field's
median alongside the ratings (ranks 11th of 20 on the same board).
3. Pick the bracket event deterministically.
scoringEvents.findFirst with no ordering returned an arbitrary row when a
season had more than one llws_20 playoff event; landing on a stale one
silently reverted to a randomized draw that ignored all recorded results.
Now takes the most recent, matching world-cup-simulator.ts.
4. Fail on a partially seeded bracket instead of discarding it.
readBracketSlots returned null on any single missing participant, throwing
away the draw and every completed result with no warning. Since
playoff_matches participant columns are ON DELETE SET NULL, removing and
re-adding one participant mid-tournament was enough to put eliminated
teams back in contention. It now distinguishes "generated but not seeded"
(0 slots filled -> randomized draw) from "partially seeded" (throws).

The LLWS simulator was overestimating favorites and ignoring games that had
already been played. Two separate causes:
1. Championship futures were used directly as single-game strength
(p1 / (p1 + p2)). A future already compounds the ~6 wins needed to take
the title, so this made every individual game as lopsided as the whole
tournament and re-compounded that edge round after round. Against a
representative 20-team board the favorite priced at 21.8% simulated at
44.9%, and the longest shot fell to ~0%.
Futures are now decompressed to single-game Elo via convertFuturesToElo,
the same pipeline the other bracket simulators use, and games are played
with eloWinProbabilityWithParity. The parity factor was calibrated by
sweeping it until a randomized-draw simulation reproduces the board it
was fed: at 1000 the favorite simulates at 21.8% and field-wide RMSE
drops from 0.062 to 0.003. It is overridable per season via config.
2. The simulator never read playoff_matches, so it re-ran the tournament
from an empty bracket every time and shuffled the draw at random each
iteration. A recorded loss changed nothing.
It now loads the seeded llws_20 bracket, places teams in their real
slots, and replays completed games from their recorded result instead of
re-simulating them, so an eliminated team correctly drops to zero. When
no bracket exists (or it has no participants seeded) it falls back to the
previous randomized-draw behavior, and a seeded bracket is authoritative
about which side a team is on, so externalId is only required on the
pre-bracket path.
Guards: a recorded result is only honored when its two participants are the
ones the simulation routed into that game, so a corrupt or out-of-order row
cannot desynchronize the rest of the bracket; brackets seeding an unknown or
duplicated participant now fail loudly.

The Little League Baseball World Series runs two independent 10-team
double-elimination brackets — United States and International — each
producing a side champion, then a World Championship game and a
Consolation Third Place game between the side runners-up. 38 games in
all. No existing template could express it: every one is single
elimination, at most with a bolted-on third-place game.
Adds the llws_20 template plus dedicated generation and advancement,
following the same bespoke-routing pattern afl_10 and nba_20 use rather
than the generic ceil(matchNumber / 2) advancement.
The core of the change is loser routing. In the winners bracket a loss
is not an elimination — it drops the team into the elimination bracket
at a specific slot, including the deliberate cross-overs the official
bracket uses (Elimination Round 1 pairs L4/L6 and L2/L8; Elimination
Round 3 pairs each semifinal loser with the winner from the opposite
half). In the elimination bracket a loss is final. Matching the official
modified double-elimination format, there is no "if necessary" game: the
winners-bracket champion is eliminated if it loses the side
championship, dropping to the consolation game.
Rounds are shared across both sides, U.S. taking the low match numbers
and International the high ones, so the scoring config stays one entry
per stage. The existing phases/groups display machinery splits them back
apart into United States / International / Championship tabs.
Scoring lands on exactly 8 point-earning teams, which is the field size
when Elimination Round 4 begins: the two finals decide 1st–4th,
Elimination Final losers take 5th–6th, and Elimination Round 4 losers
7th–8th. 3rd and 4th are distinct because the consolation game is real,
and 5–8 splits into two two-team tiers so surviving Elimination Round 4
is worth more than losing it.
Also:
- Adds an optional nonScoringWinnerFloor to BracketRound. The engine
hardcoded a 5th-place floor for winners of non-scoring rounds feeding
a scoring one, which is wrong inside a losers bracket where a win can
guarantee only 7th. Opt-in, so no existing template changes behavior.
- Fixes TabbedBracketLayout's mobile path, which built its match map
unfiltered and so would have merged U.S. and International games into
one column. No-op for NCAA and NBA, whose groups already cover every
match in their phases.
- Rewrites the LLWS Monte Carlo simulator, which still modelled the
retired pool-play format (5 teams per pool, then a 4-team bracket per
side) and no longer described the tournament being scored. It now runs
the real 10-team double elimination and splits the 5–8 probabilities
into the correct tiers instead of one even four-way split. Legacy
"US:A"/"Intl:B" externalIds are still accepted, read as the side
alone, so seasons configured for the old format keep loading.
Tests replay all 38 games through the pure advancement resolver and
assert each one against the feed labels printed on the official bracket.

When an admin entered futures (preseason) odds for a season that already
had Elo ratings stored, the simulator kept using the old Elo and silently
ignored the new odds. This affected any Elo-based simulator (e.g. NHL).
Root cause: resolveSourceElos() ranks a direct sourceElo above the
sourceOdds -> convertFuturesToElo branch, but batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator()
only cleared the bracket-seeding `rating`/`ratingMethod` — never the stale
`sourceElo`/`sourceEloMethod`. A manually entered Elo (method "direct") is not
treated as generated, so it survived and short-circuited the resolver.
Fix:
- batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator now also nulls sourceElo and strips
sourceEloMethod (both the pre-update and upsert-conflict paths), so the
existing futures -> Elo conversion drives the run.
- resolveSourceElos' sourceOdds branch now guards for >= 2 participants
(mirroring resolveRatings), so a lone-odds season falls through to the
configured missing-Elo strategy instead of getting a flat ~1500.
- batchSaveSourceOdds clears the legacy EV sourceElo and marks source as
futures_odds so the elo-ratings page won't resurrect a stale rating.
Adds unit coverage for odds-derived Elo, the single-participant guard, the
post-clear regression, generated-vs-direct sourceElo suppression, and the
new clearing behavior in batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator.

The World Cup Monte Carlo simulator ignored the admin-populated knockout
draw and re-paired its own simulated group output sequentially, so bracket
paths from the Round of 32 onward did not match the real tournament. It
also silently invented 12 synthetic groups when none were configured,
discarding real group-stage results.
Rework the simulator around three regimes:
- draw set → simulate the real R32 matchups, advancing through the
bracket tree via the canonical ceil(matchNumber/2) rule (matching
advanceWinnerTemplate) so sim paths match the admin tooling.
- groups only → simulate remaining group matches, then seed the R32 with
the official 2026 group-position template + FIFA's exact Annex C
best-third-place allocation (495-row published table).
- neither → futures-seeded bracket fallback, flagged via result source.
Completed group and knockout matches still lock in real results at every
round.
New app/lib/fifa-2026-bracket.ts encodes the R32 group-position template
(official FIFA matches 73-88 mapped onto DB matchNumbers 1-16 so the tree
reproduces the real halves) and assignThirdPlaceSlots(). The Annex C table
is generated deterministically by scripts/gen-fifa-third-place.mjs into
app/lib/fifa-2026-third-place-allocation.ts.
Tests assert exact Annex C values, cross-check the template's eligible
groups against all 495 combinations, and cover each regime including the
partial-draw dedup and fully-drawn fast path.

Make a "major" (golf/tennis/CS2) scored once on its canonical tournament
and fan out to every linked sports_season window and league.
Fan-out & completion (app/services/sync-tournament-results.ts):
- syncTournamentResults now marks each synced window's event complete

recalc failures so a stale league can't hide behind a "completed" badge
- syncMajorFromPrimaryEvent promotes a primary window's derived results to
canonical tournament_results (deleting rows for dropped placements) and
fans out to siblings; fanOutMajorIfPrimary guards on the primary
- placement removals now propagate (stale rows reset to filler)
Primary-event model (scoring_events.is_primary, migration 0122):
- getPrimaryEventForTournament / isReadOnlySibling / ensurePrimaryEvent /
setPrimaryEvent; event creation auto-seeds a primary for bracket majors;

- per-window event/bracket/cs2 pages are read-only for non-primary linked
events (not-participating stays editable)
Tennis Grand Slam bracket (tennis_128 template + TEMPLATE_ROUND_CONFIG):
- bracket-scored qualifying major via the existing bracket pipeline
- simulator conditions in-progress EV on the real bracket (honoring
completed matches, walkover for withdrawals), QP derived from config,

The CS2 Major EV simulation silently discarded the Champions Stage
bracket for IEM Cologne 2026: the bracket seeded "Team Spirit" in QF1
while the stage assignments listed the (different) "Spirit Academy", so
the realBracket gate found an out-of-field participant and rejected the
whole bracket. The phantom "Spirit Academy" also left a stray
event_results row (33 rows for 32 teams).
The existing "Reset all" button only cleared cs2_major_stage_results, so
re-entering couldn't remove the phantom result or its cached QP total.
Add resetCs2Event, which also deletes the event's event_results and
recomputes the affected participants' cached QP totals — all inside a
single transaction so a mid-operation failure can't leave the event in a
torn state. It deliberately preserves the Champions Stage bracket so
re-entry realigns the stage data to it. The reset button now confirms
and states that results/QP are cleared too.
Tests: resetCs2Event clear+recompute behavior, and a simulator
regression pinning that one out-of-field QF participant disables the
whole bracket.

## Summary
- **MLB simulator seeding now responds to projected wins**: replaced hardcoded FanGraphs `p_div`/`p_wc` probability draws with Binomial regular-season simulation. Admin-entered projected wins (via Elo) now drive both playoff _qualification_ odds and in-bracket game win probability, not just the latter.
- **Reads current standings mid-season**: `getRegularSeasonStandings` is called so synced `wins`/`gamesPlayed` feed into each simulation iteration's projected final standings.
- **27× seeding performance improvement**: `sampleBinomial` now uses a Box-Muller normal approximation for `n ≥ 30`, dropping the seeding phase from ~243M to ~3M `Math.random()` calls per 50K-sim run (pre-season, 162 remaining games × 30 teams).
- **Missing-standings warning**: when standings exist for some teams but not all recognized ones (partial sync), a `logger.warn` now surfaces which teams are falling back to 0 wins / 162 remaining instead of silently distorting seeding.
- **Cleanup**: `eloToRDif` calls `rawWinRateFromElo` instead of inlining the same formula.
- **Simulate errors surface inline**: moved simulation action from dedicated route to parent page `intent="simulate"` so errors display inline rather than crashing to an error page.
## Test plan
- [ ] `npm run test:run -- mlb-simulator` — 49 tests pass
- [ ] `npm run typecheck` — clean
- [ ] Trigger a simulation from the admin panel for an MLB season with projected wins entered; confirm teams with higher projected wins show meaningfully higher EVs
- [ ] Confirm that running simulate with no projected wins entered (pre-season defaults) still produces a valid bracket
- [ ] Check logs after simulating a season where some teams lack standings rows — confirm warning appears

## Summary
- **Root cause**: `statsapi.mlb.com` returns 406 (deprecated). Switched MLB to ESPN's free standings API (`site.api.espn.com/apis/v2/sports/baseball/mlb/standings`), consistent with NBA, WNBA, and MLS.
- **Refactor**: Extracted a shared `espn.ts` utility module, eliminating 4× duplication of `statsMap()`, `flattenEspnStandings()`, ESPN interfaces, and the `playoffSeed` → conference rank logic across adapters.
- **Bug fixes** found during review and applied across all affected adapters:
- `parseConferenceRank`: `|| undefined` falsy-zero bug replaced with `isNaN` guard
- Sort comparators: stable alphabetical tiebreaker added to MLB, NBA, WNBA
- `winPct`: falls back to `wins/(wins+losses)` if ESPN omits the stat (was silently 0)
- statsMap pre-built once per entry before sorting in all adapters (was rebuilt per comparison)
- WNBA `parseEntry`: accepts pre-computed `sm` instead of rebuilding it internally
- MLB `gamesBack`: tests updated to reflect ESPN returns numeric `0` for division leaders (old API used `"-"` → `undefined`)
## Test plan
- [ ] All 60 standings-sync unit tests pass (`npm run test:run -- app/services/standings-sync`)
- [ ] Trigger MLB standings sync from admin panel and confirm it returns data without a 406

* Add notParticipating flag to allow excluding withdrawn participants from qualifying-points simulators
Adds a `not_participating` boolean column to `event_results` so admins can
mark a participant as not competing in a specific upcoming major (e.g. Alcaraz
withdrawing from Wimbledon due to injury). The golf, tennis, and CS2 major
simulators now query this flag for incomplete events and exclude those
participants from the event's draw/field, redistributing probability weight
to the remaining field. Admin UI for qualifying major_tournament events gains
a "Not Participating" card to mark/unmark withdrawals before the event runs.

* Address code review feedback on not-participating flag
Security: unmark-not-participating now validates the result exists, belongs
to this event, and is actually a DNP row before deleting. mark-not-participating
now returns a user-friendly error on duplicate-key constraint violations.
Code quality: extract shared getExcludedByEventMap() utility to event-result
model, eliminating the duplicated 20-line exclusion-loading block that was
copy-pasted into all three simulators. Fix hasParticipantResult() to exclude
notParticipating rows so it correctly reflects actual competition participation.
Remove optional chaining on the non-optional notParticipatingIds field in the
admin UI. Fix misleading empty-state message.
Tests: replace the misleading first tennis DNP test (which never used the
activeIds variable it created) with a test that explicitly validates the
fallback behaviour when too few players remain after exclusion. Add three CS2

- MLS simulator gains a third conference fallback: reads externalId="Eastern"

* Add MLS sport simulator (mls_bracket)
Adds Major League Soccer as a draftable sport with a full-season Monte Carlo
simulator. Models both preseason regular-season projection (34 games across
Eastern and Western conferences) and the MLS Cup Playoffs bracket, including
the Wild Card (single game + PKs), Round 1 best-of-3 series, Conference
Semis/Finals (single game), and MLS Cup.
P1–P8 mapping: MLS Cup winner, finalist, Conference Finals losers, Conference
Semifinals losers. Conference assignment reads from regularSeasonStandings.conference
or falls back to the region simulator input ("Eastern"/"Western").
Admin inputs: projectedTablePoints (primary, max 102 for 34×3), with derivation
chain to sourceElo via existing input-policy; sourceOdds as alternative.
No hardcoded team data — all inputs are admin-managed per season.
- database/schema.ts: add mls_bracket to simulatorTypeEnum
- drizzle/0104_chief_boom_boom.sql: migration for the new enum value

* Fix MLS simulator: config loading, sourceOdds fallback, normalization
Three issues found in code review comparing against EPL and NFL simulators:
1. Load simulator config from DB via getSportsSeasonSimulatorConfig so
admins can override iterations, seasonGames, parityFactor, drawRates
per season without code changes. Previously all constants were hardcoded.
2. Add sourceOdds → convertFuturesToElo fallback when no sourceElo is
present. EPL and NFL both do this; MLS was throwing immediately instead
of attempting the odds conversion that the manifest declares as optional.
3. Call normalizeSimulationResultColumns before returning results, matching
EPL's local normalization pattern for consistency (runner also normalizes
globally, but EPL calls it locally too).
https://claude.ai/code/session_015wkBJ3SYGcMGjsddKKGkwa
* Polish MLS simulator: configNumber zero, logger warning, Map lookup
Three small fixes from secondary code review:
1. configNumber: allow value >= 0 (not just > 0) so admins can
legitimately set baseDrawRate or drawDecay to 0 without the value
being silently discarded and replaced with the default.
2. Add logger.warn when a participant is excluded from simulation due
to a missing Elo rating, matching the NLL bracket-aware pattern.
Gives admins a visible signal instead of a silent exclusion.
3. getBySeeds: build a Map once instead of calling Array.find() per
seed. Eliminates 4M linear scans across 50k iterations for a 9-
element array — trivially fast either way, but Map is the right tool.

projectedTablePoints, or sourceOdds; resolves ratings from sourceOdds;
supports block / fallbackElo / averageKnown / worstKnownMinus strategies
- runner.ts: single entry point for admin simulation runs; materialises
derived inputs, normalises result columns, zeroes omitted participants,
snapshots EVs, and recalculates linked fantasy standings
- /admin/simulators: inventory page with per-season readiness and bulk run
- /admin/sports-seasons/:id/simulator: per-season setup page with readiness
summary, input-policy editor, raw JSON config override, and CSV bulk input
- NCAAM/NCAAW simulators now read ratings from season_participant_simulator_inputs,
falling back to the hardcoded name-keyed maps while DB data is being populated
- Clone flow copies simulator config by default; volatile inputs (odds, Elo)
only copied when explicitly requested
Code-review fixes included in this commit:
- source field in compatibility bridge checked with !== null instead of !== undefined
- sourceEloRequirementLabel no longer appends "configured fallback" when the
participant is already excluded from all resolved sources
- Duplicate inline label maps in input-policy.ts replaced with simulatorInputLabel
- save-config preserves existing inputPolicy when the submitted JSON omits it
- Input table truncation label added (Showing 20 of N)
- CSV description notes values must not contain commas
- N+1 comment added to listSportsSeasonSimulatorSummaries
- assertRegistrySchemaDriftFree called in manifest tests
- Runner test suite added covering happy path, already-running guard,
readiness failure, empty results, and error recovery with status reset

Commissioners can add Brackt to any league. Each team drafts one manager
from their own league; at season end, that manager's final overall fantasy
ranking earns placement points. Resolution fires automatically when all
other sports finalize.

* chore: add post-phase1a baseline capture (temp, for diff verification)
* chore: capture pre-migration baselines
* chore: remove post-phase1a capture helper after verification
* schema: add canonical tournament & participant tables
Adds tournaments, participants (canonical), tournament_results, and
participant_surface_elos (canonical). Adds nullable tournament_id to
scoring_events and nullable participant_id to season_participants.
Phase 1b of canonical tournament layer migration.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(models): add canonical tournament, participant, result, surface-elo models
Adds CRUD modules for the canonical tables created in commit 775b905.
Each module mirrors existing app/models conventions (database() from
~/database/context, schema from ~/database/schema, mock-based tests).
Key implementation notes:
- participant.ts exports use "Canonical" prefix (CanonicalParticipant,
createCanonicalParticipant, etc.) to avoid collision with existing
season-participant.ts exports
- All four models include comprehensive unit tests following the
audit-log.test.ts pattern
- Tests use mocked db responses (no real database access)
- Upsert functions use onConflictDoUpdate for appropriate unique constraints
Part of Phase 1b of canonical tournament layer migration.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* migration: create canonical tables, add nullable FKs
* scripts: add extractTournamentIdentity helper for backfill
Pure function that derives canonical (name, year) identity from a
scoring_events row, stripping trailing 4-digit years from the name or
falling back to eventDate. Used by the Phase 2 backfill to group
per-window events into canonical tournaments.
* scripts: add backfill orchestrator for canonical layer
Populates canonical tournaments, participants, tournament_results, and
participant_surface_elos from per-window data for qualifying-points
sports. Skips already-linked rows, is idempotent, and supports dry-run
mode.
Critical invariants enforced by the implementation:
- qualifying_points_awarded is never copied to tournament_results
- season_participant_qualifying_totals is never touched
- conflicting surface-Elo values between windows raise a loud error
(recorded in report.errors) rather than overwriting
* scripts: add backfill CLI with dry-run default
Wires backfill-canonical-layer.ts to a CLI entry point exposed as
`npm run backfill:canonical`. Defaults to --dry-run; requires --apply
to actually write. Supports --sport=<uuid> to limit to a single sport.
Exits 2 if the backfill reports errors (e.g., surface-Elo conflicts).
* fix(backfill-cli): wrap runBackfill in DatabaseContext.run
The orchestrator uses database() from ~/database/context, which requires
AsyncLocalStorage to be populated. Wrap the CLI invocation with
DatabaseContext.run(db, ...) using server/db's cached connection pool.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(backfill-cli): exit 0 on success so pg pool doesn't block
The cached postgres connection pool keeps the Node event loop open after
main() returns. Explicit process.exit(0) on success mirrors the pattern
in scripts/capture-baseline.ts.

* Fix NHL bracket-aware simulation and MLB sourceElo support
NHL: NHLSimulator now checks for a populated playoff_game bracket before
falling back to season-projection mode. When a bracket exists (e.g. via
simple_16 template), it simulates the actual bracket structure, respecting
completed matches and using ELO+odds blending for the rest — matching the
pattern used by Snooker, NBA, and UCL simulators.
MLB: MLBSimulator now reads sourceElo from participantExpectedValues and
converts it to an effective RDif (via eloToRDif), overriding the hardcoded
TEAMS_DATA.rdif when present. This wires up the expected-wins admin form
(which saves sourceElo) to the simulation engine.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01139GJVg2gqgDjcUzqhnBNn
* Wire sourceElo from projected wins form into NBA, NHL, and WNBA simulators
All three simulators had entries in simulator-config.ts (enabling the projected
wins form in the admin UI) but silently ignored the sourceElo that was saved.
NBA: Both bracket-aware and season-projection modes now load sourceElo and
prefer it over hardcoded TEAMS_DATA elo. Added resolvedElo field to TeamEntry
so eloOfEntry() uses the correct value throughout.
NHL: Season-projection mode now fetches sourceElo + sourceOdds in a single
parallel query (removing the duplicate evRows query). Bracket-aware mode also
loads sourceElo alongside sourceOdds. Both modes use sourceElo > TEAMS_DATA > 1400.
WNBA: resolveElo() now accepts sourceElo as an optional highest-priority
argument. The evRows query fetches sourceElo alongside sourceOdds and passes
it through when building team entries.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01139GJVg2gqgDjcUzqhnBNn
* Add review fixes: NHL R1 validation, WNBA sourceElo tests, NHL bracket unit tests
- NHLSimulator.simulateBracket: remove unused nameById variable
- NHLSimulator.simulateBracket: validate all R1 participants before entering
Monte Carlo loop; throws with a clear message if any slot is missing
- wnba-simulator.test.ts: add 5 tests covering the sourceElo override parameter
on resolveElo() (overrides SRS, overrides futures, overrides fallback,
null/undefined fall through to normal priority chain)
- nhl-simulator.test.ts: add full bracket-aware integration suite (10 tests)
covering fallback to season-projection, structure validation errors, probability
distributions, fully-decided champion, and source tag
https://claude.ai/code/session_01139GJVg2gqgDjcUzqhnBNn
* Fix TS error: add resolvedElo to makeEntry in nhl-simulator.test.ts
TeamEntry requires resolvedElo after the simulator refactor.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01139GJVg2gqgDjcUzqhnBNn

* Add projected-wins input mode to admin Elo Ratings page
Admins can now enter projected season win totals instead of raw Elo
numbers on the Elo Ratings page. Wins are auto-converted to Elo using
the inverse formula and stored as sourceElo, keeping the rest of the
simulation pipeline unchanged.
- Add `projectedWinsToElo` / `eloToProjectedWins` to probability-engine
- Add `simulator-config.ts` centralising per-sport season length, parity
factor, and average opponent Elo (AFL, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, WNBA)
- Admin Elo Ratings page: toggle between Elo and Projected Wins input
modes; bulk import parses wins format; existing sourceElo back-fills
the wins field on load
- AFL simulator now reads sourceElo from participantExpectedValues first,
falling back to hardcoded TEAMS_DATA then 1400

* fix: NBA play-in advancement writes E7/W7 to wrong participant slot
advanceNBAPlayInWinner was writing the PIR1 7v8 winner to participant1Id
of First Round M3/M7, but those slots already hold E2/W2 (seeded at
generation time). The "already filled" guard fired, silently swallowing
both the winner advancement and the loser's placement into Play-In
Round 2 — so the 7/8 loser never appeared in the second play-in game.
Fix: write the 7v8 winner to participant2Id (the correct null slot) and
update the guard, doc comment, and load-bearing comment accordingly.
Also swap the p2Override arguments in the simulator and test fixture to
match the corrected slot layout (FR M3: E2=p1, E7=p2).

* fix: hasGroupStage check for templates without groupStage property

Adds the NBA_20 bracket template (20-team structure with play-in
tournament) and rewrites the NBA simulator to be bracket-aware like UCL.
- Add NBA_20 bracket template: PIR1 (4) → PIR2 (2) → First Round (8)
→ Conference Semifinals → Conference Finals → NBA Finals
- Add participantLabels (East/West 1–10) for admin bracket UI slot labels
- Add generateNBA20Bracket and advanceNBAPlayInWinner in playoff-match.ts
with custom play-in advancement logic (PIR1 winners go to two different
destinations)
- Rewrite NBASimulator with two auto-detected modes:
- Bracket-aware (preferred): reads actual bracket state, simulates only
remaining rounds forward using 50k Monte Carlo iterations
- Season-projection (fallback): existing logic for pre-playoff use
- Guard resolveGame/resolveSeries against null participants (throws with
match ID and slot info instead of silently using empty string)
- Document load-bearing First Round match ordering in generateNBA20Bracket
- Add 25 unit tests covering Elo math, team data, template structure,
and all simulator integration paths

Participants are created with externalId=null by default, causing the
LLWS simulator to crash at runtime. Fix in two parts:
1. Name-prefix inference: if externalId is null, participants whose
name starts with "US " or equals "US" are assigned to the US side;
all others are assigned to Intl. Pools are always randomized when
inferred (no pool suffix).
2. Admin UI: add an inline-editable "Group" column to the Manage
Participants page so admins can explicitly set externalId for any
simulator that uses it (LLWS, and future cases like NHL conferences).

* fix: lower darts ELO_DIVISOR to 400 and fallback Elo to 1400
ELO_DIVISOR 500 → 400: elite darts is more skill-dominated than the
previous setting implied. A 400-point gap now gives ~78% per-set win
probability (vs ~73% before).
fallbackElo 1600 → 1400: unseeded PDC World Championship entrants
(regional qualifiers, Q-School players) are materially weaker than
seeded tour professionals. 1400 better reflects that gap.
Combined effect: a dominant player (e.g. 2000 Elo vs 1400-1600 field)
now produces EV ≈ 65 instead of ≈ 30, which better matches expectations
for a top-ranked player in a 128-player bracket.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: lower darts ELO_DIVISOR to 200 for realistic EV distribution
With the actual PDC field (top players clustered 1800–1970 Elo, Littler at
~2080), ELO_DIVISOR=400 made the gap between world #1 and the top 8 too
soft — EV for Littler came out ~37 instead of the expected 65–70.
ELO_DIVISOR=200 calibrates correctly for this field: a 100-pt gap now
gives ~62% per-set win probability (vs ~56% at 400), sharply rewarding
the best players while still allowing upsets. Littler at 2084 produces
EV ≈ 65–70 against the real PDC tour roster.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: seed darts bracket by Elo instead of world ranking
World ranking (PDC Order of Merit) is prize-money-based and can diverge
from current skill — e.g. Kevin Doets (1818 Elo) was ranked 35th while
Joe Cullen (1667 Elo) held the 32nd seed. Seeding the weaker player and
leaving the stronger one unseeded contradicts the Elo-based match model.
Seeding by Elo descending ensures the 32 strongest players (by the same
metric used to compute match probabilities) get protected bracket positions.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* revert: restore world-ranking-based seeding for darts bracket
Seeding should follow the PDC Order of Merit (world ranking), not Elo.
Reverts the previous Elo-seeding commit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: interleave seeded and unseeded R1 pairs in darts bracket
Previously, all 32 seeded-vs-unseeded matches were added to r1Pairs
first (indices 0–31) and all 32 unseeded-vs-unseeded matches last
(indices 32–63). Since R2 pairs adjacent R1 winners, this created two
completely separate sub-brackets that only converged at the Final:
- Seeded sub-bracket: top players eliminating each other early
- Unseeded sub-bracket: high-Elo unseeded players (e.g. Doets 1818,
Zonneveld 1806) steamrolling weak opponents and making the Final
~20% of the time
Fix: interleave each seeded match with its adjacent unseeded-vs-unseeded
match. Seeded pair i is at r1Pairs[2i], unseeded pair i is at r1Pairs[2i+1].
From R2 onwards, winners from seeded and unseeded regions now merge
correctly as in a real single-elimination bracket.

* Fix NHL simulator dynamic seeding and code quality issues
- Replace hardcoded seeding probabilities with standings-based Monte Carlo
projection: simulates remaining regular season games per team using Elo
win probability vs. a league-average opponent, so mathematically eliminated
teams naturally fall out of playoff contention
- Fix double-simulation bug in wildcard pool: all 16 conference teams are now
projected exactly once via sortProjected([...divA, ...divB].map(projectTeam)),
then filtered — wildcard pool no longer re-runs simulateProjectedPoints with
fresh randomness independent of the division seeding
- Move ProjectedTeam interface, projectTeam(), and sortProjected() to module
scope (defined once, not recreated on every buildConferenceBracket call)
- Replace conference-level participant count check (east < 8 || west < 8) with
per-division checks (each division < 3) for a more actionable error message
- Add logger.warn when standings.length === 0 so admins know the sim is running
without synced data
- Remove unused easternTeams/westernTeams variables
- Simplify test: replace Object.fromEntries pattern with a plain for..of loop

Simulates the 20-team Little League World Series: pool play round-robin
(5 teams/pool, top 2 advance) → 4-team double-elimination per side
(US and International) → consolation game → World Series final.
Uses championship futures odds as the sole win-probability signal.
Pool assignments are auto-detected from externalId: bare "US"/"Intl"
randomizes pools each simulation (pre-draw mode); "US:A"/"Intl:B" etc.
uses fixed assignments (post-draw mode). Sides can differ.

database's max_connections limit. Replaced with a single shared lazy-
initialized client in server/db.ts using a Proxy to defer the
DATABASE_URL check until first use (preserving test compatibility).
Also bumps the CS2 Champions Stage stochastic test from 200 → 1000
iterations to eliminate flakiness.

* Fix and() bug and add Swiss loop safety guard
- cs2-major-stage.ts: markCs2StageEliminations and setCs2FinalPlacements
were using JS && instead of Drizzle and(), causing WHERE to filter only
by participantId (not scoringEventId), which would update rows across
all events instead of just the target event
- cs-major-simulator.ts: add break guard in simulateSwiss while loop to
prevent infinite loop if pairGroups returns no pairs
https://claude.ai/code/session_019w21Nkf5TvTZHH6oVHaQXR
* Fix all remaining code review issues
- cs2-major-stage.ts: use schema column reference for stageEliminated
in markCs2StageEliminations instead of raw SQL string
- cs-major-simulator.ts: simulateOneMajor now locks in known stage
results when a stage is complete (8 recorded eliminations), only
simulating the remaining stages during live events
- admin event page: add CS2 Stage Setup button for cs2_major_qualifying_points
simulator types; expose simulatorType in server loader type cast
- cs2-setup.tsx: replace document.getElementById DOM manipulation with
React state (eliminatedChecked map) for checkbox show/hide logic;
remove unused stageMap and unassignedParticipants variables
https://claude.ai/code/session_019w21Nkf5TvTZHH6oVHaQXR
* Fix oxlint errors: non-null assertions, sort→toSorted, unused vars
- cs-major-simulator.ts: replace 5 non-null assertions (!) with safe
optional chaining / if-guards; replace 6 .sort() with .toSorted()
- cs2-major-stage.ts: remove unused `inArray` import
- cs2-setup.tsx: remove unused `assignedIds` variable
https://claude.ai/code/session_019w21Nkf5TvTZHH6oVHaQXR
* Fix flaky Champions Stage stochastic test
The makeTeams(8) helper creates only a 70-pt Elo spread (1800→1730).
With the Champions Stage bracket math this gives team-0 a ~19.6% win
rate — right at the 0.2 threshold, causing the test to fail ~63% of
the time in CI despite 1000 iterations.
Use 100-pt steps (1800→1100) instead, giving team-0 a ~40% win rate
and raising the assertion threshold to 0.25 for a clear safety margin.

Fixes#123
* Add PDC World Darts Championship simulator (128-player bracket)
- New DartsSimulator: 128-player single-elimination, 7 rounds with
PDC-accurate best-of-sets formats (bo3/bo5/bo5/bo7/bo7/bo11/bo13).
ELO_DIVISOR=500 via set-level Bernoulli model. Two simulation paths:
Path A (bracket drawn) simulates from actual DB matches; Path B
(pre-bracket) seeds top 32 by world ranking in fixed positions and
randomly draws the remaining 96 per simulation run (50,000 iterations).
- darts_bracket added to simulatorTypeEnum and simulator registry.
- world_ranking nullable integer column added to participant_expected_values
(migration 0067); batchSaveSourceElos now accepts and persists it.
- Admin route /admin/sports-seasons/:id/darts-elo: bulk import with format
"Player Name, 2099, 1" (name, Elo, optional world ranking), fuzzy name
matching, auto-runs simulation and updates EV/snapshots on save.
- DARTS_128 bracket template added (scoring starts at Quarterfinals).
- 30 unit tests: math helpers, bracket seeding structure, Path A/B integration.

* Review fixes: pre-compute hot-loop invariants, import normalizeName
- Pre-compute seededSlots and getSeededMatchOrder(32) before the 50k
simulation loop — was being recomputed every iteration
- Pad unseeded pool to 96 once before the loop instead of inside it
- Inline bracket-building in the hot loop using pre-computed seededSlots;
removes the per-iteration call to buildR1Bracket/getSeededMatchOrder
- Remove dead SEEDED_R1_PAIRS constant (was never referenced)
- Import normalizeName from ~/lib/fuzzy-match instead of redefining it locally
https://claude.ai/code/session_01WZ6FjMmC2eBeZ1564M9Ruz
* Fix lint failures: unused vars, eqeqeq, toSorted
- Remove unused seededSet/unseededSet variables in test
- Replace != null with !== null && !== undefined (eqeqeq rule)
- Replace .sort() with .toSorted() in simulator and route (unicorn/no-array-sort)
https://claude.ai/code/session_01WZ6FjMmC2eBeZ1564M9Ruz
* Fix TS2552: restore seededSet declaration removed during lint fix

* Add FIFA World Cup 2026 support with group stage display and Monte Carlo simulator, fixes#127
- New `groupStageMatches` table for recording group play results (W/D/L, scores, matchday, schedule)
- `computeGroupStandings()` model function: pts → GD → GF → name tiebreaker ordering
- `GroupStageStandings` component showing all 12 groups with standings table and manager column
- Admin bracket UI: group match score entry, per-group standings, "Recalculate Floors" action
- `WorldCupSimulator`: 50k Monte Carlo covering group stage + best-8 3rd-place + knockout + 3rd place game
- Fuzzy name matching for national team Elo lookup (exact → substring → word-overlap), warns on miss
- Partial group completion: completed matches replayed with real scores, remaining matches simulated
- Elo priority: admin-entered sourceElo > futures odds converted to Elo > hardcoded national team ratings
- `fifa_48` bracket template: added Third Place Game round with `loserFeedsInto` on Semifinals
- Scoring rules: distinct 3rd/4th place for `fifa_48` (not averaged), QF losers share 5th–8th equally
- Floor scoring: SF participants guaranteed 4th (provisional), finalized after 3rd place game
- `recalculate-floors` admin action deletes and replays all results from scratch (fixes stale guard bug)
- Unique index on `(tournamentGroupId, participant1Id, participant2Id)` to prevent duplicate pairings
- Batch `findMatchesByGroupIds()` replacing N sequential queries in the sport season loader
- League home mini-standings now shows `actualPoints` (includes floor) instead of `totalPoints` only
- Elo ratings admin page supports World Cup (same bulk-import flow as snooker)

* Increase Node heap to 4GB for unit tests in CI to prevent OOM

* Fix OOM in CI: make WorldCupSimulator simulation count configurable for tests
Tests now pass numSimulations=500 instead of the production default of 50,000.
Six simulator tests × 50k iterations each was exhausting the 4GB heap on GitHub
Actions runners. Also reduce simGroupMatch stat tests from 50k to 5k iterations.

* Add WNBA playoff simulator with SRS-based Elo ratings, fixes#125
- New WNBASimulator: Monte Carlo (50k sims) projecting remaining regular
season games → seeding → R1 Bo3 / Semis Bo5 / Finals Bo7 bracket
- Hybrid Elo sourcing: pre-season uses futures odds (ICM); once avg
gamesPlayed ≥ 5, switches automatically to SRS-derived Elo
(elo = 1500 + srs × 20)
- New WnbaStandingsAdapter: fetches ESPN standings + teams endpoints in
parallel; includes zero-records for 2026 expansion teams (Portland
Fire, Toronto Tempo) not yet in standings
- Added srs column to regular_season_standings (migration 0063);
stored as net rating proxy (avgPointsFor − avgPointsAgainst)
- Added wnba_bracket to simulatorTypeEnum
