API updates

New resources, fields, and behaviour changes, newest first. The full reference always describes the current API.

10 August 2026

  • New bracket-matches resource: playoff draws with rounds, seeds, teams, scores, times, and courts. Writing both scores sets the winner and advances them into the next round, or marks the bracket complete after the final.
  • Planned brackets carry seed numbers before teams exist; fill resolves them from standings without touching scheduled times.
  • fixtures now include referee_team_id, the duty team on the whistle. Readable and writable.

1 August 2026

  • New pools resource: groups inside a division for tournament group phases.
  • teams gained pool_id and is_placeholder, both writable. Renaming a placeholder team to its real entrant carries every fixture with it.

31 July 2026

  • fixtures gained counts_on_ladder. Games marked false stay on the schedule but never move standings; changing the flag on a completed game recomputes the ladder immediately.
  • divisions gained ranking_strategy, an ordered list of tiebreak criteria overriding the organisation's ladder order for that division.

30 July 2026

  • New adjustments resource: dock or award ladder points outside match results, with a reason. Adjustments fold into the standings endpoint and show as footnotes on public ladders.

June 2026

  • v1 launch: seasons, divisions, clubs, teams, venues, officials, fixtures, and brackets, scoped to your organisation by API key.
  • Computed standings endpoint: per-division ladders plus club rankings, ranked exactly as the public pages rank them.
  • OpenAPI description published at /api/v1/openapi; the reference on this site renders from it.
