Another downside to the new tournament page i haven't spotted in the thread yet. If you're playing in Swiss style tournaments, players aren't necessarily ranked by score. I honestly don't even know what they're sorted by. In one tournament i'm in the bottom of the list despite having like 5th of 18 ...

The few positives of the new page are outweighed by the many negatives... I like the new visualization of the tournament settings, ruleset used (same look as arena now), the status bar helping you keep track of amount of games in progress, the ability to move between tournaments of the creator (very...

Timing wise 2 additional rounds in the swiss could fit if one looks at the current timing schedule. The semis would just finish mid March instead of March 1. Of course, leaves 10 days less for the organizers to get everything arranged for the 8 travelling players.
