Mixer Multi-Pool — Split Big IR Fields Into Parallel Pools
Individual-rotating (mixer / rotating-partners) tournament divisions can now be split into 1–8 pools. Each pool runs its own rotating-partner schedule with its own round target and per-pool standings; top N from each pool advance via snake-seeded cross-pool bracket. Single-pool back-compat fully preserved. This update is designed for tournament organizers and players who want a better tournament play experience — less manual work, more control, and a smoother workflow.
