#126622: "Framework should allow games to define their own tournament scoring (and more)"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
See boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37045 for details.

I won't go into the details here because of the impossibility to edit for mistakes and the like...

1) It would be nice if the framework allowed game developers to define tournament scoring system(s) specific to each game. Especially for games that do have a IRL tournament scene or for games that simulate sports that have various types of championships....

As an example, a round-robin tournament of football (soccer) could give 3 points per 1 and 1 point per draw

------------------
2) It would be even nicer if game-specific complex tie-breakers could be implemented for tournaments (like using the goal average in a football championship)

---------------
3) Some situations like a "bye" might require a default score to be given for a game that has not been played. It would be nice if game devs could define their own default scores for the game tournaments.
(To go back to the football tournament, giving a "win" is not enough, you might want to also define the number of goals scored for that game. Or maybe not. I'm talking about the freedom for games to define what is best for them)
-----------------------
4) Some games could define multiple scoring systems.

Some systems would only be available in some type of tournaments (like round robin or swiss) and others could be used for all types.

When creating a tournament, the organizer would be able to pick one of the scoring systems available for that game and type of tournament or, of course, use the BGA default one.
