The results file

The basics

• Where it isAt the event's address with /results.json on the end. Finished events link to it, and the event page names it in its head as an alternate in JSON.
• When it existsFrom the moment the bracket starts. While the bracket runs it shows what is known so far; placements appear once it is finished. Before that, and for canceled events, the address answers 404.
• Who can read itAnyone, from any site, without an account or a key. It allows requests from every origin. It holds only what a signed-out visitor sees on the bracket page.
• How fresh it isIt may be up to about a minute old once a bracket is finished, and about 15 seconds old while one runs. Please fetch it when you need it, not on a tight loop.

/host/<event id>/results.json

What it looks like

Shortened. A real file lists every entrant and every set.

Good to know when reading it

• Players with a Smashy account keep the same entrantID at every event, so you can follow one person across brackets. Their handle is in "other".
• A walk-in (added by the TO by name, no account) is marked "walkIn" in "other". Their id is only good for that one event; match them by tag.
• A player whose profile is hidden from signed-out visitors has an id like "hidden-1", no tag and "nameHidden" in "other". Their sets still count.
• Byes are not sets, so they are left out. So is a grand final reset that was not played.
• A DQ is the result "dq" for that player and "win" for the other, with no scores.
• For elimination brackets each set names the next and the previous set of both players, so the bracket can be rebuilt. Round robins have a phase per pool instead.
• Seeds are the ones the bracket was built from. Game-by-game data (stage, who won) is included when players recorded it and it adds up to the set's score.
• Anything specific to Smashy sits under "other", as the format asks. The rest follows the format's official schema exactly.
