opening tournament

Post by Adam-1983 »

I created a new tournament in circular mode. After publishing it, it's not visible in the tournament list. When I search for the tournament type "all," I only see it when I enable the "show tournaments you've created" option or search by its name. What did I do wrong?

Please delete the other identical thread you created before someone responds to it and it can't be removed.

After that, please post the link to the tournament you created, or at the very least say what game it's for so someone else can try searching for it.

Oh, I didn't realize there were two threads. I got an error when posting the first one, so I resubmitted it. Regarding the tournament, I opened several new tournaments in Carcassone called Veni Vidi Vici, and they don't show up in the general tournament list, only when you search for them by name. The first one should show up with the date March 20, 2026, but when you search for the tournament in the "all" option, it doesn't show up there.

I hope you noticed that there are over 3000 Carcassone tournaments when you set the filter to "all". So probably you haven't checked the whole list, they might be in there.
When I filter for "planned" tournaments, there are 78 of them available for me in Carcassone, and I can see your "Veni Vidi Vici" ones among them.

I think the "all" filter is only useful when you combine it with other filters. I have no idea how tournaments are sorted when you simply filter by "all".

Did you really scroll through 100s of tournaments (maybe over 1000) that start between now and March 20 to be sure it's not there? I went through over 200 placing no restrictions on the filter and still didn't even reach the Veni Vidi Vici tournament that starts on March 13. But I the March 13 tournament pretty quickly when I filtered by Carcassonne.

As a practical matter, why does it matter if someone can find it under "All"? No one is going to search this way by scrolling through 100s of tournaments. If they want a Carcassonne tournament they will filter by Carcassonne. Or it will pop up in their feed when it gets closer to the start date.

Even when you filter by game name, they don't show up in a discernable order. It's definitely not chronological by start date.

But I eventually found the the March 20 tournament by filtering by Carcassonne combined with filtering for tournaments starting more than 7 days from now, which narrows it to a manageable 72 hits.

You're right, I know why I didn't see them. The default option is "Show tournaments I haven't registered for," and that's not immediately visible because the text is too long. So, when I registered, mine didn't show up in the tournament list :)
Thanks for the help :)

My man, I literally had the same problem during early testing of the new tournament module. I reported it as a bug that I couldn't see some of my self-created tournaments when I filtered for self-created tournaments but later I noticed that I did not see them only because of the filter you mentioned.
