+Endgame-specific things -- endgames, configs
+***********************************************
+
+Endgames allow the computation of singular endpoints.  
+
+Flavors
+=========
+
+There are two basic flavors of endgame implemented:
+
+1. Power Series, commonly written PS or PSEG
+2. Cauchy
+
+Both estimate the cycle number and use it to compute a root at a time which is never tracked to.  PSEG uses Hermite interpolation and extrapolation, and Cauchy uses loops around the target time coupled with the `Cauchy integral formula <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%27s_integral_formula>`_.  Both continue until two successive approximations of the root match to a given tolerance (:py:attr:`pybertini.endgame.config.Endgame.final_tolerance`).
+
+The implementations of the endgames go with a particular tracker, hence there are six provided endgame types.  Choose the one that goes with your selected tracker type.  Adaptive Multiple Precision is a good choice.
+
