It's a way to split the group standings into named tiers — like a league's Division 1, 2, 3, but among the pool's players. Instead of everyone on one big list, the group is split into divisions and each person competes against people at their own level.
Who turns it on: the group admin, under group name → Options → Divisions. There they flip the "Enable divisions" toggle and also choose each division's name. The fields come with placeholders (1st Division, 2nd Division...), but you can customize freely — some examples the app suggests:
- 1st division: "The Best", "Elite", "Pros"
- 2nd division: "Semi-pro", "Almost-pro", "Sub-pro"
- 3rd division: "Mid-table", "Casuals", "Weekend warriors"
- 4th division: "Rookies", "Apprentices", "U-20"
- 5th division: "Cellar dwellers", "Just here for fun", "Amateurs"
How many divisions the group has depends on its size — the app splits it automatically:
- Up to 7 players: 1 division (everyone plays together)
- 8 to 14: 2 divisions
- 15 to 23: 3 divisions
- 24 to 49: 4 divisions
- 50 or more: 5 divisions
Divisions always have the same number of people. If the math doesn't come out even (40 people across 4 divisions is 10 each — fine, but what about 41?), the 1st division gets one extra, then the 2nd, and so on until it balances.
There's promotion and relegation: during the tournament, whoever scores more moves up to the division above; whoever snoozes drops down. The changes happen as games go on. When the last game ends, positions freeze — whoever finishes 1st-division champion is the overall champion, and each division has its own champion.
Why is this cool? It keeps the game alive for everyone: the uncle who joined for the party doesn't quit after round 1, because he still has a shot at the Division 3 title against people at his level. You battle point by point with your own kind, start to finish.
