JSON: players array with name, projection, ownership (0–100), winProbability (0–1), winScore, lossScore and scoreSD. Optional automatic file: /data/mma-model-2026-10-17.json. Missing inputs are never guessed.
How simulation works
Exploratory estimates use one winner per fight, your conditional scoring inputs, an ownership-weighted field of up to 1,500 candidate rosters, contest payouts and split ties. Estimated duplicates count other matching entries in that sampled field; they are not calculated by summing ownership percentages. ROI and win rates are uncalibrated. Ticket returns use face value.

Contest payouts & strategy
Choose your contest once in the builder above. Cash rate suits flat payouts; expected profit considers the full payout structure; first-place share suits winner-take-all satellites. Small-field tournaments can still reward finishing upside.
