We have added a player search field to give you the possiblity to invite individuals to your tournaments.

Once the tournament is created, the host can now invite players directly from this new space.

From the Tournament State section, you can search and add players using the dedicated field. Please note that you can only invite players who meet your tournament's specific criteria (such minimum ELO and/or Karma). As a creator, the system will clearly indicate if a player matches these requirements.

If you wish to bypass these criteria and invite players who do not match them, you'll need to create a private tournament and use the existing invite link feature.

Invites are sent individually and appear as a notification for the invited player, no more emails. Your name will only become visible to other participants once you have accepted the invitation.

This is particularly strange, because the default is to allow all players Average-Master to enter tournaments, but if you save as a draft it unticks Master for some reason so it becomes Average-Expert. This will catch people out to exclude players they didn't want to exclude as it's very subtle, I only noticed because I was unable to register for my own tournament.

1. The default view should be "Overview" not "My Progression". At least let us set a default view so we have a choice.
2. It would be great if I could filter for "Tournaments started by my friends or groups". I don't play public tournaments, so this would be very helpful.
3. In the tournament list, the most obvious thing should be the name of the game. Having the "title" of the tournament in a huge font, and the actual game in the tiniest font, is totally backwards.
4. Since some tournaments are restricted in various ways, we should be able to filter for those categories, like ELO for instance.
5. There should be tooltips or some kind of handy glossary to explain things like the different types of tournaments, "sleep" time, etc.
