Oh look it's another downgrade in usability in the name of being mobile friendly.
In other news; water is wet.
Sorry I have nothing of use to add other than to go back to the Desktop interfaces of a bygone era.

Didn't there used to be an invite Friends option? I would like the ability to invite individuals (or even an Invite All) button option inside the tournament. Posting it to various groups isn't as effective. Thanks

Please Vote to these reports instead of just posting here.

Put everything back, please

Another bad new feature. Overall tourney time. Extremely off. By months in many instances. Extremely misleading to those joining. Especially newer players. That don't know what is will really take

First of all, the new tournament pages are a big change for us, and for you. We understand it may not please everyone.

That being said, thank you for all the feedback.

We won't be able to answer all your concerns today as we need to look deeper into a lot of them. But here are a few things I can share with you already:

• The time zone issue is known and should be fixed soon.
• Tie breakers and other missing infos for Round Robin and Swiss are known issues and should be fixed soon.

You brought up other points that we will discuss internally, such as the recommanded tournaments section, scrolling on mobile or additional filters. Keep in mind that discussing the examples above does not mean it will be changed, but they are things we want to review.

Regarding the invite system as it was before, we noticed some misuse with collateral issues. This needed to be changed. We are looking into a solution that would allow tournament creators to have an improved tool addressing this issue.

I'll keep monitoring your feedback and will answer when possible.

on my PC and on chrome the tournaments part of the main page is constantly flickering since the update and is now useless.
UPDATE : it works fine today.

Thanks for a reply and acknowledging some things need to be fix asap with regards to round robin and swiss tourney scoring and overall stats. Many tourneys in progress are suffering. I am not sure Bga understands the severity of those issues that have been brought up. Right now. Tourney play had been ruined for many. Especially those round robin and swiss players. The new format is not going to help get newer players into tourneys. Lots of misleading and confusing info on time. And if they do. They will be disappointed in many of the time issues. Thanks again for communication, but unfortunately things you have said are not helping. Such as. Knowing round robin and Swiss had major issues with scoreboard and tie breakers. And you released update anyhow. Why ?? You ruined many ongoing tourneys. And upcoming tourneys. For what. Larger fonts ??? Invites are extremely important to get participants and you are basically saying too bad. So sad. We will work on that at some point. When nobody's knows. Listen to your tourney players and makers. Right now. That is not what is happening. You are basically shoving this update down our throats. With the rejection of some legitimate complaints. Especially invites. And scoreboards
,

Is there an easy way to see which game in progress belongs to which tournament? I thought I saw it appear briefly but now I can’t find it again.

What was the rush to release something with a known issue? To comply with an arbitrary internal deadline?
