Player concept
The player acts as a common denominator between multiple teams that should not face each other. This prevents conflicts of interest and automatically ensures tournament fairness.
Practical examples
- Juan Pérez — Owner of two teams: "Gallo de Oro 1" and "Gallo de Oro 2". His entries never fight each other.
- La Granja Colores — Registers multiple teams with color names. All belong to the same player.
- Pablo — Shared caretaker for teams from different farms. Assigning the same player prevents fights between his entries.
Exclusion rules
In addition to automatic player-based exclusion, Derby allows additional rules (omits) at team or individual entry level for more precise control. Exclusions are configured with drag and drop on the omits screen.
- Team exclusion — No entry from team A can fight any entry from team B
- Entry exclusion — Two specific entries cannot fight each other
- Pacts — Forces two specific entries to be matched
Company cards and wildcards
To balance the fight bracket when the number of entries is odd or insufficient, Derby offers two tools:
- Company card — Entry provided by the organization that only fights in the last round
- Wildcard — Reserve entry promoted to the main bracket when needed to complete rounds
