Full Play
Everyone plays every round. Best experience, highest reps, lowest complexity.
Managed Flow
Recommended zone. Light sit-outs, strong pace, and manageable player movement.
High Load
Works with structure. Expect longer waits and stronger need for organizer control.
Overload
Avoid for normal sessions. Play frequency becomes uneven and frustration rises.

 Full Play or Managed Flow Low High Load Players feel skipped or wait too long. Sit-outs erode experience before the system breaks.
Token Chase™
Structured
 Managed Flow or High Load High Load Breaks only if advancement feels unclear or poorly controlled. Waiting needs a purpose to hold.
Round Robin
Scheduled
 Full Play Low Managed Flow Runs out of time before matches complete. Too many players means the format won't finish cleanly.
Stay in Managed Flow for the best session.
Enter High Load only with structure.

Deck capacity is capped at 60 players. Court capacity assumes 4 active players per court.
High Load reflects wave-based play where players may play one round and sit one round.
