An AFL club seeded into an Elimination Final is awarded 15 fantasy points the
moment the bracket is generated — afl_10's entryFloor: 7 — and cannot finish
worse than the 7th-8th tier. Its EV still read 13.
AFLSimulator was stateless with respect to the live bracket. It read only
participants, sourceElo and the regular-season standings, then re-projected the
whole ladder and re-seeded 1-10 from Elo on every one of its 10,000 iterations.
So a team with a locked Elimination Final berth was re-drawn into the Wildcard
Round, or out of the finals entirely, in a slice of them — and there it scores 0.
Even with the ladder complete the Math.random() tiebreaker reshuffled every club
tied on ladder points, which in the AFL is most of the middle of the table.
Games already played were re-played the same way, so a completed Wildcard win was
worth 50% of nothing. Mixing zeroes into a distribution whose floor is 15 is what
produced 13.
afl_10 is the only template that defines entryFloor at all, which is why this
surfaced here and not on LLWS, whose floors only exist once a team has won
something.
The simulator now mirrors llws-simulator's bracket-aware mode:
- readAflBracketSeeds reads the 10 seeds from the slots generateAFL10Bracket
writes them into. The two Elimination Final participant2 slots are TBD by
design and are never read as seeds, leaving exactly 10 named slots. No draw
at all falls back to the ladder projection; a partially seeded, duplicated or
unknown draw throws rather than silently discarding the draw and every
recorded result with it.
- makePlayGame replays a completed match from its recorded result whenever both
recorded teams are the two the simulation routed into that game, so an
already-played result sticks across all iterations.
- simAFLFinals labels each game with the round and match number
generateAFL10Bracket and advanceAFLWinner use, so a result is looked up
against the game it was played in. Its routing was already correct.
EV >= the banked floor now holds by construction, with no clamping: a team seeded
into an Elimination Final is in that game in every iteration. Column sums stay
exactly 1.0 and the 340-point total-EV invariant is unchanged, since teams
outside the bracket simply score nothing.
Fixing the simulator alone would not have held. processMatchResult calls
updateProbabilitiesAfterResult on every result, and its ICM branch re-derives
each still-alive participant's whole distribution from P(1st) alone, knowing
nothing about the bracket — so the next finals result would have put the EV
straight back under the floor. That branch was built for futures-odds seasons.
It now runs only when the season's EVs did not come from a bracket-aware
simulator; when they did, that simulator is re-run instead, since it already
knows the completed matches. Both conditions matter: re-running a bracket-blind
simulator would re-draw the field and hand equity back to knocked-out teams, so
a new manifest `bracketAware` flag limits this to AFL and LLWS. A failed re-run
leaves probabilities untouched rather than falling back to the ICM path that is
being replaced.
The finalized-participant pinning loop now runs after that recalculation rather
than before. A simulation run rewrites every participant in the season, the
finalized ones included; a finalized placement is a fact, not a projection, so it
is written last and wins.
Tests: seeds clear the entry floors their seeding banked, a Qualifying Final
entrant is structurally absent from the 7th-8th tier, the bracket's draw beats
Elo (the weakest club seeded 1, the strongest seeded 10), completed Wildcard and
Qualifying Finals are replayed with the winner banking its floor, teams outside
the bracket are zeroed, and the column sums and 340 total survive. The bracket
fixtures deliberately seed the ten weakest clubs, because seeding the strongest
ten lets the ladder projection reproduce much the same field by accident. Six of
the seven were confirmed to fail against the previous behavior. Plus the
probability-updater branch in each direction, its failure path, and the pin
ordering.

- Provisional rows were being treated as finished by
updateProbabilitiesAfterResult, whose finishedMap filtered on
finalPosition alone. Entry floors made that fire for the whole seeded
field: on the first match result, AFL seeds 1-6 would each be pinned
to 100% at their floor position and dropped from the ICM recalc,
zeroing the championship odds of six teams that had not played. Filter
partial rows out of finishedMap so they stay in the unfinished set.
Finalized 0-position eliminations still finalize as before.
- generate-bracket recalculated standings only inside
markEliminatedAndAnnounce, which no-ops when nothing was eliminated.
A season whose participants exactly equal the bracket field would
never surface the floors in teamStandings.totalPoints. Recalculate
explicitly in that case (skipDiscord: seeding is not a result).
- applyBracketEntryFloors upserted unconditionally, so regenerating a
bracket mid-tournament could downgrade a team already sitting on a
better placement. Read existing placements first and only write when
the floor improves on what a participant already has; position 0 is
eliminated, not a placement, so it never blocks a floor.
- Relaxing the reprocess guard to matches.length made the season-wide
deleteParticipantResultsBySportsSeasonId reachable with zero completed
matches, wiping other events' placements with no replay able to
rebuild them. Skip the wipe when there is nothing to replay; entry
floors and elimination marking are additive and need no wipe.

When a participant wins a bracket round, they immediately earn provisional
"floor" points (the averaged minimum they'd receive if eliminated next round).
These update as they advance and are replaced by finalized scores on elimination.
Key changes:
- Add `is_partial_score` column to `participant_results` (migration 0038)
- `processPlayoffEvent`: assign provisional position 5 to non-scoring round
winners; assign round-appropriate floors to scoring round winners via
`getGuaranteedMinimumPosition`; add catch-all for unrecognized round names
- `upsertParticipantResult`: guard against un-finalizing rows (never overwrite
isPartialScore=false with true)
- `calculateBracketPoints`: new function averaging tied bracket tiers
(5-8 → 20 pts, 3-4 → avg, 1-2 solo); used in `calculateTeamScore` for
playoff_bracket pattern (pattern-aware, doesn't affect F1/golf scoring)
- `PlayoffBracket`: "In Contention" table for still-active participants;
AFL double-chance fix (participants who won a later match excluded from
earlier round's loser list); correct `nextRank` starting position
- Server loader: batch owner DB queries (one query vs N+1); deduplicate
participantPoints; use calculateBracketPoints for bracket point display
- Clean up Phase/Q-number tracking comments throughout scoring-calculator.ts
- 3 new tests for non-scoring round provisional floor behavior
Also includes a dev admin bypass via DEV_ADMIN_CLERK_ID env var (separate
change on this branch, not part of floor scoring feature).

- Added loader and action functions for managing expected values in sports seasons.
- Implemented UI for recalculating probabilities based on participant results.
- Created a service to update probabilities after results are finalized, including handling finished and unfinished participants.
- Developed tests for the probability updater service to ensure correct functionality.
- Introduced a preview feature to show potential changes before applying updates.
