New Tournament Pages are here: Better, Faster, and Mobile-Friendly!

[Godsmurf]

Having to scroll through a tournament ranking with those two arrow buttons is slow and painful, when it could just be a scrollbar or even better: just show the whole ranking.

I'm glad BGA is finally doing some development on the site, but you're still completely ignoring everything users have been clamoring for for years in the suggestions forum.

Why can't I find the ongoing tournaments I have joined?

Going against the grain here, I actually like the improvements. It's more intituitive. I organise a lot of tournaments for friends that don't have the required ELO and can still do that by sending them the invite link.

This works to invite a few people, less so to invite 100s of players, because there's a DM limit and you get DM banned for spam if you send the same tournament link over and over. The option to invite players directly is needed for bigger tournaments.

Please provide a link to the Tournament page from the home screen. Right up there next to the other links, add Tournaments

This 'mobile friendly' was clearly implemented by the person who has no experience nor interest playing tournaments. Terrible UI!

- no number of games played
- no tiebraker
- scrolls all over the place that lose context
- you need to scroll hours to see the table

Do you really think fast players are interested to see the tournament config for already running tournament? And not to view where they are on the rank? Really?

Same

I hope it's an early April Fool's joke

This is far less user friendly for those setting up tournaments. I used to be able to just tab through everything and easilly amend, now i physically have to click it all. So much more time consuming. Why cant we invite players via a link anymore? Thats a needed feature for those under 100 ELO.

Best part of 6 years since the last decent update to tournaments and as someone that sets up many tournaments this has just made it worse

Didnt you employ someone around 3 years ago specifically to work on tournaments? I understand why you want to push Arena but ultimately thats just a mediocre way to play compared to tournaments if any time would be put in to new features in this area.

Constructive criticism - This is weaker now for setting up tournaments and less clear (what the hell is an encounter?!) Players per match was far clearer, who thought that would be a good idea? Stop pushing Arena and focus on improving tournaments.

I agree that it needs to be possible to invite players below 100 ELO otherwise BGA will stop to be used by the bulk of my game group.

[1] Absolutely obvious that the person/people who developed this dont play tournaments themselves or [2] gathered feedback from those who do. This kind of work would get me fired from my job. Absolutely terrible.

[1] All available evidence suggests this is true, or else it's hard to explain some choices.

[2] Surprisingly, they actually did provide early access to heavy tournament users....then ignored some feedback that includes the things being raised the most in this thread, including hiding the Swiss and RR tiebreakers.

FYI: Watch the language or you'll get moderated.

Una actualización importante sería que no se puedan anotar en los torneos de un organizador aquellas personas a las que el organizador les haya puesto pulgar abajo. Imaginen que si no quiero jugar con ciertas personas mucho menos quiero que se anoten en mis torneos.

The silence is deafening. Hello bga. There are some issues that need to be fixed ASAP. Like yesterday. Many tourneys affected. Especially swiss,group, and most of all round robin. Please listen and help. Quickly.
