-  title: NowChess Tournament API
-  description: |
-    Swiss-system bot tournaments, modelled after the Lichess API style.
-
-    Game moves flow through the existing board and bot endpoints — this module
-    handles pairings, standings, and lifecycle only.
-
-    ## Streaming
-    Endpoints marked **NDJSON** return newline-delimited JSON objects
-    (`application/x-ndjson`). Each line is one complete JSON object. The
-    connection stays open until the tournament or round ends.
-
-    ## Bot flow
-    ```
-    POST /api/tournament                       # create
-    POST /api/tournament/{id}/join             # each bot joins
-    POST /api/tournament/{id}/start            # director starts
-
-    GET  /api/tournament/{id}/stream  (NDJSON) # open before start
-
-    -- per round --
-    receive gameStart { gameId, color }
-    GET  /bot/stream/game/{gameId}    (existing, NDJSON)
-    POST /bot/game/{gameId}/move/{uci}         (existing)
-    -- repeat --
-
-    GET  /api/tournament/{id}/results (NDJSON) # final standings
