Overview

The Pick'em service is a tournament and prediction system that allows users to make predictions about competition results and receive rewards for correct forecasts. The service provides a complete tournament management cycle, from creation to completion and reward distribution to participants.

Business Processes

1. Tournament Management Process

1. Tournament creation and configuration:

   • Defining name and game
   • Setting time frames (start and end)
   • Determining tournament stage
   • Configuring participating teams

2. Tournament lifecycle:

   • Draft → Published → Completed → Archived
   • Tournament is available for predictions only until its start
   • After tournament completion, rewards become available
   • Teams and positions can be changed until a certain point before start

2. Prediction Process

1. Prediction creation mechanism:

   • Prediction is saved and becomes active

2. Prediction management:

   • User can delete their prediction before tournament start
   • User can view their prediction history
   • After tournament start, predictions become immutable

3. Results processing:

   • System compares actual results with user predictions
   • Number of correct predictions is calculated for each user

3. Reward Process

1. Reward system:

   • Rewards are configured in reward grid with different levels
   • Reward level depends on number of correct predictions
   • If exact match is not found, previous value in reward grid is used
