Note to v2 users

In v2, the event log was the gold standard for what occurred in a tournament. Player status was derived from the order of events in the event log. This proved to be problematic as editing history was often difficult. Additionally larger tournaments took a performance hit as the log was validated each time an event was added.

For v3 and beyond, the event log is not used for validation, is it simply a bucket of events. The order of the events are not important. Still, you might wish to ensure that your validate the log before exporting it into a report to check it for logical consistency.

Event Log Validation

You can perform a validation on your event log to check and see if all the information in it tells a logical story. A validation would flag, for instance, that you have an elimination event occuring before a buy-in event for the same player.
