Stage system: 450→225→112→56→20→8→final.
Each stage: 6 matchesPlayed (3 group appearances) before cutoff.
Groups of 3–4 normally; groups of 3 when ≤20 alive; 1v1 final when ≤8.
Elo: K decays from 32→6 as matches accumulate.
RD (uncertainty): starts at ±150, shrinks faster vs similar opponents.
Matchmaking: 70% Elo-close · 15% high-RD · 15% random.
No songs loaded.
3) Import / Export CSV
CSV columns: rank, id, title, url, elo, rd, matchesPlayed, eliminated
