The bug makes Round Robin Tournaments
unfeasible for turn-based play.

And it’s easy to fix:
just remove a few lines of existing code.

Thanks!

Round Robin Tournaments give full flexibility - in principle -
since rounds may overlap in time.

The trouble is: there is a BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG !!!

In Swiss-system the total number of matches is displayed in TOURNAMENT AGENDA
before the start of the tournament.

But then this hint disapears.

Members of the tournament will see a red message at the bottom instead.
Kibitzers find no clue at all, however.

But 15 days can affect your non-gaming life. Just think about it: Half of the time is for your opponent. This leaves you 7 days per game. Half of your own thinking time must be reserved to complete the game to the final winning position. This is because there are Midnight Zombies out there: A :twis...

It would be nice to have a maximum game duration of 21 days, too. Consider the increase in currently available game durations in percent: 2 days 3 days (+ 50%) 5 days (+ 66%) 7 days (+ 40%) 10 days (+ 43%) 15 days (+ 50%) 30 days (+ 100%) That last 100% step is pretty big. 21 days would be 3 weeks, ...

I do not see any reason to work with variables in this string The main advantage of constant placeholders like ${pillbug} is CONSISTENCY : If the game was properly set up from the very beginning all string would read like "You cannot move a piece that was just moved by the ${pillbug}, or move ...

causing the variable names not to be translated at all - that's the reason that there does not appear the "English" string but the completely non-translated original (which is, of course, English, too) This turns out to be true. Constant variables like ${mosquito} and ${pillbug} are not t...

The "original" string from the code is "pill bug", and this is translated to English as "pillbug" (check the English->English translation). Oh dear. Things are going to get messy: There are two variables for pill bugs: id="toTranslate_10212" originally "...

You've quoted this one: “moves the ${type_name} using a ${mosquito} copying a ${pillbug}.” Have you noticed if the same thing happens with this one?" "moves the ${type_name} using a ${pillbug}." It's a general issue, yes. If the piece moved happens to be a pill bug BGA generates &quo...

You are right! I just overlooked that the translation of ${mosquito} was wrong as well. Correct translations are ‘Moustique’ in French and ‘Moskito’ in German as correctly set by our human BGA translators. Now it’s clear what is going on: it’s indeed a software bug: There are variables like ${type_n...
