Backend: Create Matches for Tournament Registered Players and Teams

[Ayush0316]

We need to implement backend logic that automatically generates matches for players and/or teams that have registered for a tournament. This functionality is crucial for progressing the tournament to the next phase.

---

✅ Goals

• Retrieve all registered players or teams for a given tournament
• Create matchups based on a specific logic (e.g., random, seeded, round-robin, etc.)
• Store the matches in the database with relevant metadata (e.g., match ID, round number, players/teams involved, scheduled time if applicable)
• Handle edge cases (odd number of teams/players, duplicate entries, etc.)

---

🧩 Details

• Input: Tournament ID

• Output: List of generated match records stored in the database

• Match model should include:

  • Match ID
  • Tournament ID
  • Participant A and B (can be player or team IDs)
  • Round (if applicable)
  • Status (e.g., pending, completed, inProgress)
  • Timestamps (createdAt, updatedAt)
  • IsDeleted flag.

---

📌 Tasks

• Define the match creation logic (random/seeding system)
• Retrieve registered participants for the given tournament
• Generate and save matches
• Unit test the match generation logic
• Document the logic and API endpoints (if applicable)
