WHAT IT DOES

What is a tournament wheel?

A tournament wheel is a customizable random picker for eligible teams, match order, bracket tasks, court assignments, player order, challenge rounds, and approved tie breakers.

Add the options allowed by the tournament format, explain what each spin decides, and use the visible result to organize the next round, matchup, rotation, or competition task.
