## Frequently Asked Questions

Standings are calculated based on points (3 for win, 1 for draw) and a custom priority of tiebreakers like goal difference or goals scored provided via `get_group_standings`.

**Can I compare third-place teams across different groups?**
Yes, you can use `get_best_third_place_comparison` to extract and compare the third-placed teams from all groups.

**How do I know if my tournament data is valid?**
You can use the `validate_tournament_structure` tool to check for logical inconsistencies in your match results and group configurations.
