        {
          "title": "The basic idea",
          "body": "Everything in TeeCup belongs to an organization (the club or organizer). Inside an organization you create tournaments. There are two types: individual (a flat field of players, no teams) and team (two teams against each other, Ryder Cup format)."

          "title": "The four building blocks of an individual tournament",
          "body": "Participants (who's in the tournament, drawn from the club's player pool), Rounds (how many days/rounds, and which course), Round participation (a person can be in the tournament without playing a given round -- actually playing requires a separate choice of tee), and Score (the actual strokes, recorded hole by hole)."

        },
        {
          "title": "From score to result",
          "body": "You choose a scoring method (gross strokes, net strokes, Stableford, or some more specialized formats) which decides how the raw strokes become a leaderboard ranking. A cut can keep only the top finishers after a chosen round (with ties at the cutoff line let through). A tiebreak resolves a tied result -- countback, lowest handicap, a playoff, or a shared position -- and never affects where the cut line falls."

    "faq": [
      {
        "question": "How does an organizer add players to the player pool?",
        "answer": "Three ways: (1) From the members page, \"Edit players\" -- upload a CSV file, or \"Add row\" to enter one player manually. (2) \"Import from CSV\" directly from a tournament's Participants list -- creates the players in the pool AND registers them for the tournament in one operation. (3) Add a brand-new player on the spot while adding them as a participant in a tournament."
      },
      {
        "question": "What's the difference between being a tournament participant and playing a round?",
        "answer": "Being a participant means the person is registered for the tournament itself. Playing a round is a separate choice -- the person also needs to be assigned to that round, with a tee. A participant can therefore be in the tournament without playing every round."
      },
      {
        "question": "What does Cut mean?",
        "answer": "A cut keeps only the top finishers after a chosen round -- everyone else is out of the remaining rounds. The line is a POSITION, not a fixed headcount: if several players are tied at position N, they all make it through, so the actual number can end up slightly higher than the number you set."
      },
      {
        "question": "What happens with a tied result (tiebreak)?",
        "answer": "You choose the rule yourself -- countback (best final holes), lowest handicap, a playoff, or simply sharing the position. This can be set differently for the winner than for the rest of the field, and it never affects where the cut line falls."
      },
      {
        "question": "Why doesn't the HCP in the tournament update when I change it in the player pool?",
        "answer": "This is deliberate, not a bug. A tournament's HCP is its own frozen copy -- set the moment the participant is added, then independent of the player pool from then on. Reason: HCP can affect the actual result, so it should never be able to change silently during an ongoing tournament. To correct a participant's HCP after they've been added, do it directly in the tournament's own Players step -- not in the player pool."
