Tournament list - changed behavior of "show full tournaments" Checkbox?

Post by Robo65 »

Is there a behavior change for the "Show Full Tournaments" Checkbox?

Once upon a time, I bookmarks for running and completed tournaments that I created, and I never did I ever have to check this checkbox. That's changed now, I must check it or those tournaments that have a full set of players are hidden.

As far as I can remember, the checkbox was only used for planned games. And perhaps the "Tournaments I created" option took precedence and made sure that full tournaments weren't hidden.

The switch is reflected in the URL, so I can change my bookmarks, but it is confusing at first. And I believed that it was a cause for a bug report (30015), but when I revisited that, I found that Hairry did check that checkbox.

My proposal would be that the checkbox
- is used only for planned tournaments - because I can't see the need for running or completed tournaments
- it not used for the "Tournaments that I created" view

Hi,

thank you for your suggestion.

I identified this from https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=30015, and kind of reached the same conclusion as you.

I'll keep you updated.

Cntl-Click no longer opens a tournament in a new tab/window which makes navigating the list and going back and forth a real pain.

There seems to be duplicates if you click show more a bunch of times (the same is true for the player rankings). Is there anyway to instead have a 'show 10/25/100/all' combo box instead.
Ordering by game or alphabetically would be good too.

I implemented this.

I changed this too.

Both these will be available on the next release (no date, probably during next week).

As many turn-based tournaments have a too strict time setting I would request to show the "time per player" or the "total time per game" already on the tournament overview page or to implement a drop-down-filter where we can set a minimum amount of time e.g. "5 days per game", "7 days per game" etc.

+1
Could not agree more.
It's a pain opening each tournament one by one to discover time allowed is too short.

I thought this was a bug!
Reported within: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=30015

Why remove functionality just because someone doesn't use it? I use this _daily_ and I miss it.

Please put it back. If people don't need it they can just ignore it.

I'm unhappy that this:
1) was changed outside of the bug report system and
2) that it reduced functionality.
