Overview
--------

[](#overview)

A modern PHP library for generating structured schedules between participants. Ideal for tournaments (round robin, Swiss, pools) but flexible enough for any scenario where entities need to be paired or grouped into events.

**Key Features:**

- 🏆 **Tournament Formats**: Round robin (single & multi-leg), Swiss pairing, single & double elimination, group stages
- 📊 **Results & Standings**: Pluggable ranking strategies, league tables, and tiebreakers (wins, Buchholz, Sonneborn–Berger)
- 🔧 **Flexible Constraints**: Built-in and custom predicate-based constraint system
- ✅ **Schedule Validation**: Comprehensive validation prevents incomplete schedules
- 💾 **Serialization**: JSON round-tripping for schedules and participants
- 🎯 **Modern PHP**: PHP 8.3+ with readonly classes and strict typing
- 🧪 **Test-Driven**: Comprehensive test suite with Pest framework
- 📐 **Mathematical Accuracy**: Circle method implementation for round-robin
- 🛡️ **Production Ready**: PHPStan level 8 compliance with zero errors
