+Oliver: "the draw ist doch jetzt eigentlich obsolet, oder?" — yes. The screen was built for the
+18-rung ladder (his own 2026-08-15 ask), where four bands rolling out of a deep hat was a
+ceremony; a league cup shuffles 2-3 faces the setup's league panel already shows face-up. Deleted:
+the #bracket stage (DOM, CSS, buildBracket, its timers and routing). What survives: the shuffle
+itself lives INSIDE the run (cupDraw, without replacement, the final settled — startMatch's `draw`
+parameter stays for the suite's validation test, renamed accordingly), each round still announces
+itself on the walk-on modal, and the cup's big setup button now says **ENTER THE DRAW** — all the
+ritual the moment needs. The rules modal's copy went league-neutral ("UP YOUR LEAGUE'S DEAD
+HIERARCHY — THE FINAL IS SET"; a 3-rung league plays three rounds, not four). The screen's
+mechanics live in git history (like the lob) if the ceremony is ever asked back.
