After such a great launch for last weeks Qualifiers, it's disappointing to see that the very next Qualifier (this weekend's 64-player one) is NOT on the tournament site with ANY message even pointing the interested observer to another site where one can find the decks/brackets. Rather disappointing since this is, after all, an official CDPR tournament. I realize this is still in Beta, but why have one qualifier up one weekend and then not have it the very next week?. If there was an explanation somewhere, I sure didn't see it anywhere on the CDPR site.

The decision to host 64-player tournament on Challonge was due to the pro players' concerns over the stability of the platform and some of the Swiss-specific bugs reported earlier. We plan to use TP exclusively for all the official events going forward, but we also trying to make it right by participants.
In terms of communication, your feedback is noted. One advise I can give is to follow https://twitter.com/ClaymoreGWENT for qualifiers-related announcements.

I'm part of an archived tournament and ever since then I havent been able to participate in ANY tournaments, I can register for them but once its time to start the tourney, and the "activate brackets" button is pushed, my name is shown as a drop with the reason being "other game"! I'd really like to play in some tourneys, any idea how to delete the archived tourney?

Can you please give more info:
1) what is your GOG nickname? Is it Enrasilver?
2) do you have a link to the archived tournament that is preventing you from joining other tourneys?

Witam
Zorganizowałem turniej (28.08.2020)

Tournament format: single elimination
Games format: best of 3
3 decks and 1 ban
checked-in players: 13
31 players joined

Wszystko przebiegało tak jak powinno do momentu ostatniej rundy (4)
Wtedy mecz o trzecie miejsce nieprawidłowo się uruchamiał.
Co minutę wyskakiwała informacja, że mecz się zakończył wynikiem 0-0, tymczasem nawet nie zadziałał system do banowania lidera.

Podejrzewam, że stało się tak z powodu błędnego ułożenia drabinki:
Co mam na myśli- w pierwszej rundzie tak rozlosowano uczestników, że odbyły się tylko 3 mecze(myślałem, że będzie 6).
Część graczy oczekujących na następny etap opuściło turniej, co spowodowało, że drabinka straciła kilka ścieżek, przez co mecz finałowy (runda 4) nie wyświetlał się (ale się odbył). Natomiast tak jak opisywałem mecz o trzecie miejsce ,,zepsuł się".

Pozdrawiam !

Hello
I organized a tournament

Tournament format: single elimination
Games format: best of 3
3 decks and 1 ban
checked-in players: 13
31 players joined

Everything was as it should have been until the last round (4)
Then the match for third place did not start correctly.
Every minute there was information that the match ended with the result 0-0, while the system for banning the leader did not work.

I suspect it was because the ladder was positioned incorrectly:
What I mean - in the first round the participants were drawn so much that there were only 3 matches (I thought there would be 6).
Some of the players waiting for the next stage left the tournament, which caused the bracket to lose several paths, so that the final match (round 4) was not showing (but it was played). However, as I described the match for third place, it "broke".

Best regards !

Can you please provide a link to this tournament for a closer look?

also one more update: PSA for the tournament organizers: with the release of 7.2 update, it's now possible to select new leader abilities on the tournament platform. However, for the decks/abilities submitted previously, icons won't update automatically as players need to resubmit their choices.

RyanSchou · Sep 1, 2020

The new season of the Dryad has arrived and with it the latest Update 7.2!

This includes a big overhaul of the leader abilities in the game and the regular balance changes to existing cards.

This season will last until October 1st, 10:00 a.m. CEST.
Seasonal mode: Seesaw
On the end of the player's turn:

Damage player's odd power units by 1

Boost player's even power units by 1
Patch Notes:

When returning to Play Menu after a match the last played game mode will remain selected.
Progression of contracts related to removed abilities will transfer to newly introduced contracts.
Bugs related to progressing in contracts connected to Journey 1 and Journey 2 (i.e. not every Ciri's outfit was counting)
Fixed the issue with acceptance of Pro Rank Regulations in game settings.
Fixed issue with sometimes missing description of abilities when creating new deck.

Neutrals:

White Frost card renamed to Blizzard.
Ciri ability changed to: Deploy: Damage 3 enemy units by 1. Whenever you lose a Round, return this unit to your hand.

Developer Comment: Ciri will now let the player choose which units to target. This part of the ability is still meant to give Ciri additional value only when board state allows it and picking where those pings go will make that more reliable against Armor and similar effects.

Ethereal provision changed from 9 to 8. Ability changed to: Doomed. Deploy: Gain Zeal. Order: Transform unit to the right into base copy of self.

Developer Comment: Ethereal's ability is now triggered by Order and it can get Zeal if it is played from hand. Limiting the ability in this way will make it possible to play around at all, since all Ethereals being active at all times required just one trigger to stop any interaction with the opponent unless they have a very specific counter. Since it's a pretty steep drop in power, the Provision cost was lowered.

Oneiromancy provision changed from 12 to 13.
Watchman power changed from 4 to 5.Highwaymen power changed from 3 to 4.
Iron Falcon Knife Juggler power changed from 1 to 2.

Developer Comment: All of the leader abilities that allowed you to pick a specific card and play it as an extra in a turn have been rotated out. As the pool of cards have been growing with every expansion, so did the number of cards you could play with those abilities, leading to them dominating the game with sheer power and versatility. Every faction have been compensated with brand new Leader ability for this loss.

Monsters:

Carapace leader ability changed to: Order: Boost an allied unit by 3 and give it Veil. Charge: 3. Provision Bonus changed from 16 to 15.

Developer Comment: As Shield can be a source of extra points, since stopping any random damage effect is extra points, the number of charges was increased to roughly match this power lost. Veil is a little harder to get value out of than Shield, but should do a better job at protecting the Boost provided by the ability.

Force of Nature leader ability changed to: Order: Spawn and play Woodland Spirit. Provision Bonus changed from 16 to 15.
New Token - Woodland Spirit: Power 9, Doomed. Category: Relict, Token

Developer Comment: Now instead of putting all the extra power on one card, making it doubly vulnerable to removal, Force of Nature will spawn and play Woodland Spirit. While this token does not have any abilities on their own, it will trigger Thrives and start at 9 Power.

Rotated out Death's Shadow leader ability from the game.
New leader ability - White Frost: Order: Move an enemy unit to the other row and Spawn Frost on its row for 2 turns. Charge: 2. Provision Bonus - 15.

Developer Comment: This brand new ability lets the player establish first Frost on the board, or shuffle opponent's units around to take a better advantage of existing Frosts, while adding to their duration. It should work well with existing Wild Hunt cards or be a tech choice for other decks that lack ways to control their opponents, as it makes quick work of card abilities locked to specific rows.

Auberon King, Invader and Conqueror power changed from 6 to 5. Provision changed from 11 to 12.
Alpha Werewolf power changed from 5 to 6.
Arachas Behemoth power changed from 2 to 3.
Caranthir Ar-Feiniel provision changed from 8 to 9.
Wild Hunt Rider power changed from 3 to 4.
Foglet power changed from 3 to 4.

Skellige:

Rotated out Sacrificial Vanguard leader ability from the game.

Developer Comment: Sacrificial Vanguard did not play additional cards in a turn, but Discard as a mechanic strictly builds carryover so making any abilities that work with it or attaching any extra value to it ends up putting power in 2 rounds, which is why we prefer it being a thinning tool instead of something players would build their decks around, which is why the ability is rotating out of the game.

Rotated out Second Wind leader ability from the game.
New leader ability - Battle Trance: Order: Spawn and play Mardroeme. Whenever you play an Alchemy card, Heal a random allied unit by 1. Provision Bonus - 16.

Developer Comment: In addition to playing a decent Alchemy card as an Order, Battle trance will also heal a random ally by 1 when an Alchemy is played, making picking Alchemies over cards that shrug off being damaged a viable way to build a deck.

New leader ability - Rage of the Sea: Order: Spawn Rain on enemy row for 1 turn and Deafening Siren on the opposite row. Charge: 3. Provision Bonus - 14.

Developer Comment: Rage of the Sea is a rather straightforward way to put wounds on enemies, using Rain to do so, while also spawning Beast tokens on player's side of the board in the form of Sirens, ensuring that all the effects that do require Beasts on board have targets.

Ursine Ritual Tooltip Update: Order: Damage an allied unit by 1. Charge: 5 Once all Charges are used up, Spawn a Bear Abomination on a random allied row.
Holger Blackhand ability changed to: Deploy: Damage a unit by 2. Whenever you play a Ship, boost it by 1. Whenever you play a Pirate, damage a random enemy unit by 1.

Developer Comment: Holger Blackhand has received a 2 Damage Deploy to bump up the points you can expect from playing him, without making him very hard to remove from the board.

Brokvar Hunter ability changed to: Zeal. Order: Damage a unit by 1. Cooldown: 2. Whenever you play a Beast, reduce Cooldown by 1.

Developer Comment: Brokvar Hunter will now react to Beasts being played instead, because he is a hunter and hunters hunt Beasts.

An Craite Greatsword power changed from 4 to 10. Ability changed to: Deploy: Damage self by 5. Whenever an enemy units takes damage, Heal self by 1.

Developer Comment: Greatsword has lost his ability to Boost indefinitely and will be healing back the Damage he inflicts on himself as part of the Deploy. This re-imagination of his ability sets a clear point ceiling for the card, while also creating new synergies with self wounding archetypes or cards that bypass Deploy abilities like Sigrdrifa's Rite.

An Craite Raider ability Bloodthirst fixed to work when Played or Summoned.
Harald an Craite, Warmonger and The Cripple provision changed from 11 to 12.
An Craite Marauder power changed from 2 to 3.
Tyrggvi Tuirseach provision changed from 11 to 10.
Crow Messenger power changed from 3 to 4.
Blood Eagle provision changed from 11 to 12.
Birna Bran power changed from 5 to 6.
Tuirseach Skirmisher power changed from 3 to 4.

Northern Realms:

Mobilization leader ability changed to: Order: Spawn a base copy of a bronze allied Soldier on its row and boost it by 3.

Developer Comment: Mobilization remains similar in it's effect, but it no longer plays the card you target, or requires you to keep a copy in your deck, making it more versatile and easier to use. To make sure it stays close to its current power level, it is limited to Bronze Soldiers only, which still leaves players with a sizeable pool of targets and makes Cintrian Royal Guard dream a possibility.

Pincer Maneuver leader ability changed to: Order: Draw a Northern Realms card of your choice, then shuffle a card from your hand back to the deck. If the drawn card was a unit, boost it by 5. Provision Bonus changed from 12 to 15.

Developer Comment: Pincer Maneuver retains a similar effect without the "play a card" component. Extra consistency for card combos and 5 point boost for the drawn card should keep it very impactful in the round it is played in.

Rotated out Vicious Slash leader ability from the game.

Developer Comment: Vicious Slash did not play additional cards in a turn, but because it hardly fits with what Northern Realms as a faction wants to accomplish and does not have any existing synergies, it will also be rotating out.

New leader ability - Shieldwall: Order: Boost an allied unit by 2 and give it Shield. Charge: 3. Provision Bonus - 14.

Developer Comment: For a while we thought that the previous version of Carapace would find a better home in Northern Realms, as protecting their engines and existing Shield synergies would make it feel right at home. Shield Wall is exactly this, with a little better distribution of charges, it should make it quite tricky to deal with players engines, or make a reliable setup for King Roegner.

Siege Master power changed from 3 to 4. Ability changed to: Order: Boost an allied unit by 2. Resupply: Boost adjacent Siege Engines by 1.

Developer Comment: Siege Master's Deploy ability was changed to Order so he can now be played before the Siege Engines, making it easier to take advantage of his Resupply. His power was raised to make that play a little safer.

Rivian Pikeman power changed from 3 to 4. Ability changed to: Order: Damage an enemy unit by 2. Resupply: Boost self by 1.

Developer Comment: Similar to Siege Master, Rivian Pikeman's Deploy became order and he got extra Power as a compensation. Northern Realms have a couple of synergies with Orders which should make him easier of a consideration for some decks.

Field Medic power changed from 1 to 2.
Dun Banner provision changed from 5 to 4.
Blue Stripes Commando provision changed from 6 to 5.

Scoia'tael:

Mechanic Update - Harmony: Boost self by 1 or the specified amount whenever you play a Scoia'tael unit whose primary category is unique among all of your other units.

Developer Comment: Harmony is going back to working as it did before the change, it will trigger regardless of the row the unique tag is played in. Our change to it made it a little bit more awkward to use than we wanted and with main ways of abusing the mechanic are gone, so it seems fair to restore it to the original state.

Call of Harmony leader ability changed to: Order: Spawn and play Dana Meadbh.
New Token - Dana Meadbh: Power 6, Doomed. Category: Relict, Token. Harmony

Developer Comment: Call of Harmony will spawn and play Dana Meadbh, that in addition to having Harmony herself, has a unique Relict tag which will always trigger all the Harmony cards already on the board.

Rotated out Mystic Echo leader ability from the game.
New leader ability - Nature's Gift: Symbiosis. Order: Give an allied unit Vitality (3). Charge: 2. Provision Bonus - 15.

Developer Comment: Nature's Gift makes it so every Nature special played spawns at least 1 Wandering Treant, thanks to it's Symbiosis. Straight Boost with charges could be hoarded to be a last play in a mostly spell based deck, which is why Vitality seems like a better fit for it, in addition to matching the theme better and having some existing synergies.

Guerilla Tactics provision bonus changed from 15 to 16.
Zoltan's Company ability changed to: Spawn 3 Rowdy Dwarves on an allied row. If you control Zoltan, give 1 Armor to all Dwarves on that row.

Developer Comment: If you control any of the 3 Zoltan cards that exist, Zoltan's company will make every Dwarf on the chosen row hardier. While this does not rise the power of the card much, it just makes sense for it to react to Zoltan in some way.

Vrihedd Brigade ability changed to: Deploy: Damage an enemy unit by 2. Whenever moved damage a random enemy unit by 2.

Developer Comment: Vrihedd Brigade's Deploy and passive abilities were split so the player can now choose where the first ping goes, but the passive remains random. It should make playing the card out of hand feel better overall.

Duen Canell Guardian power changed from 3 to 4. Ability changed to: Veil. Symbiosis. Order: Damage an enemy unit by 2.
Mahakam Volunteers power changed from 3 to 4. Ability changed to: Deploy: If you control a Dwarf, Summon all copies of this unit from your deck to this row.

Developer Comment: Mahakam Volunteers can now be played on any row and will trigger as long as there is a Dwarf on board, giving the player a better choice on which row they want to have more Dwarves in.

Eithne Young Queen, Mother and Wrath of the Brokilon provision changed from 11 to 12.
Dol Blathanna Sentry now has 1 Armor.
Dwarven Chariot power changed from 3 to 4.
Dol Blathanna Bomber power changed from 1 to 2.
Dwarven Skirmisher boost changed from 1 to 2.
Brokilon Sentinel provision changed from 5 to 4.

Nilfgaard:

Tactical Decision leader ability changed to: Order: Spawn and play Morvran Voorhis.
New Token - Morvran Voorhis: Power 6, Doomed. Category: Human, Soldier, Token. Deploy: Draw up to 3 cards, then put same number of cards on the top of your deck.

Developer Comment: Morvran is back and playing him will let you draw up to 3 cards from the top of the deck, then place the same amount back in the order you choose. Listing all the things one could do with this ability would take a while, so let's just say that you should make sure you have space in your hand first to take full advantage of it.

Rotated out Strategic Withdrawal leader ability from the game.
New leader ability - Imprisonment: Order: Lock an enemy unit and damage it by 3. Charge: 2.

Developer Comment: To the dungeon with them! Imprisonment is a simple and effective way to control what your opponent does on the board. On the surface it might look that the ability is only 6 points, but value of the status is hard to predict, and Nilfgaard has multiple ways to benefit from applying and maintaining Locks, which should make it a great addition to some decks.

Imperial Formation leader ability Charges reduced from 4 to 3. Provision Bonus changed from 15 to 16.

Developer Comment: Imperial Formation has lost a charge and gained 1 Provision bonus in return. That change should make it a little bit less explosive when combined with some of the Soldiers while keeping most of its power intact.

Impera Brigade power changed from 3 to 4. Ability changed to: Deploy: If you control a Soldier, Summon all copies of this unit from your deck to this row.

Developer Comment: Let's be honest, Playing this card on Melee row, that was also highlighted when you were holding it, was not really a condition, so now Impera Brigade will require any Soldier to be on board anywhere before triggering, but provide more points if they do.

Nauzicaa Brigade ability changed to: Deploy: Damage an enemy unit by 1. If the enemy unit is boosted, damage it by 3 instead.

Developer Comment: Nauzicaa Brigade now has a contingency plan for when none of the enemies are buffed. This change should make it a little safer to include in the deck, as it now can finish off severely wounded units.

Imposter provision Bonus changed from 14 to 15.
Braathens power changed from 4 to 3.
Vivienne de Tabris provision changed from 10 to 9.
Vincent Van Moorlehem power changed from 5 to 3. Provision changed from 11 to 10.

Developer Comment: Vincent's stats were adjusted to closer match raw removal power he provides. He has slowly started becoming infamous, as his trigger condition turned out easier to fulfil than it was when the card was introduced and most people that encounter him probably saw this change coming.

Usurper Officer, General and Emperor provision changed from 11 to 12.
Battle Preparation boost increased by 1.
Ffion van Gaernel power changed from 2 to 1.

Developer Comment: Because of Ffion playing Battle Preparation as part of his Deploy, the card ended up having a bit lower power on it's own than you'd expect from a Bronze. We have adjusted the Tactic to be more competitive and Ffion lost one point to stay at the level he is now.

Ard Feainn Light Cavalry power changed from 2 to 3.
Hunting Pack power changed from 3 to 4.
Added Siege Engine category to following cards: Hefty Helge, Rot Tosser, Fire Scorpion, Mangonel

Syndicate:

Rotated out Wild Card leader ability from the game.
New leader ability - Pirate's Cove: Order: Spawn a Sea Jackal on an allied row, then gain 4 Coins. Provision Bonus - 15.

Developer Comment: If you have ever been caught in a situation where you have all the coins with nothing to spend them on, here comes the Pirate's Cove to fix it, providing a spender and a handful of change on demand.

Sacred Flame ability changed to: Deploy: Spawn a Firesworn Zealot on both sides of this card. Order: Boost all allied Firesworn units by 1.

Developer Comment: As Sacred Flame is an Artifact and thus it takes a space on the row it used to boost, now it will boost all the Firesworn allies instead, raising the potential points you can get from its Order by a lot.

Ewald Borsodi power changed from 4 to 5. Provision changed from 8 to 7. Ability changed to: Deploy: Damage an enemy unit by 2. If Horst Borsodi is in your graveyard, damage an enemy unit by 4 instead.

Developer Comment: Ewald's ability stays Damage, but he will now deal a set amount of it, which will change depending on the status of his brother.

Horst Borsodi provision changed from 8 to 7. Ability changed to: Deploy: Gain 3 Coins. If Ewald Borsodi is in your graveyard, gain 6 Coins instead.

Developer Comment: Horst will now provide you with coins and his Profits will change depending on the status of his brother.

Whoreson's Freak Show power changed from 5 to 4. Provision Changed from 6 to 8. Added 1 Armor. Ability changed to: Profit 2. Fee 2 (Melee): Damage an enemy unit by 2.

Developer Comment: Post it's ability adjustment, Whoreson's Freak Show seldom sees play outside of Arena, where it breaks the game. For this reason, the old ability was retired and it will now do exactly what Ewald Borsodi did, leaving the brothers to be rebalanced separately with emphasis on their bond.

Jacques Miraculous Child, De Aldersberg and Grand Master provision changed from 11 to 12.
The Sausage Maker provision changed from 10 to 9.
Casino Bouncers Fee changed from 2 to 1.
Sewer Raider power changed from 3 to 4.
Cleric of the Flaming Rose now has a Cleric category.

Developer Comment: Game is now once again playable.

Hi! First of all I want to express my gratitude for the tournament platform. To me, as an organizer and player, this web-site simplified tournament activities a lot. But with all the good things in it there are also defects. Something simply does not exist, something does not work as it should:
1. Incorrectly working filter. When choosing a filter "by time", you cannot return to the "Any" tab without refreshing the page, when you click on this item in the menu, there is simply no reaction. The same is with the registration filter.
2. Lack of sorting. Now the nearest tournaments are displayed at the bottom of the page, which is very inconvenient. You need to sort by time so that the nearest tournaments are the first.
3. Replays. Now replay only works in case of a draw, as far as I understand. In the event that a player lost connection, flew out of the game, or simply took the wrong deck, replays are not available. Solving the problem of replay will greatly simplify the work for the organizers and the game for the players. I don't know how it works now, but you can track the round in which the player surrendered (in the case of the wrong deck, the person surrenders almost immediately in the first round) and track the disconnect, and this can be shown in the information about the pair of playing players or separately from the organizers.
4. Tournament site moderator. If now there is no moderator for the site, then you need to hire one. This site is quite an important part of the gwent, and it needs to be cleaned of test tournaments on the main page or anything else inappropriate. It would also be nice if the moderators saw tournaments with a large number of players and sent meteorite powder to the participants themselves (now you just need to write about meteorite powder yourself). This would encourage more players to take part in tournaments.
5. Spectator-mod on the phone. When testing the site and spectator-mod, a bug was found when the decks of the participants did not open from the smartphone during the game. Also, the opponent's cards are poorly visible (screen 1, the setting with moving the camera when the enemy moves does not affect this in any way), this point is not critical, because few people will use this mode from the phone, but I thought it should be mentioned.
6. Custom tournaments. My team and I are planning to organize a team tournament. Unfortunately, the tournament platform does not provide such an opportunity. Many people would be grateful if such a setting appeared in the tournament mode in the future. Also, some people will want to make tournaments on the same ability, for example, but the site does not allow loading decks with the same abilities. This is not critical, but perhaps you will adopt it.
7. Bug with manual distribution of players. The bug manifests itself only if you do not fill the grid with participants one by one, but, for example, start from the second pair or further, then the page becomes empty (the background of the site remains screen 2), only the page refresh helps.
8. The start of the round. The most inconvenient of all is that you cannot start the next round before all the pairs from the previous one have not finished (as in the Swiss system). As a result, this greatly lengthens tournaments with a large number of participants. I think this is a very serious bug or flaw that should be resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for this feedback.

Some comments to your points:
3. No plans to address replays outside of handling draws - it's a very abuse-prone area, so losing connection for whatever reason should remain tech loss.
6. Not quite sure what you mean by "custom tournaments" - only limited number of tournament formats is supported. We had to select the most popular and most relevant (for GWENT) formats. I'm afraid we can't commit to provide the absolute flexibility on this front.
8. Start of the round issue. We have 2 options available to players - automatic or manual start. Specifically for Swiss it's impossible to start the new round before all pairs are finished. Do you mean that elimination brackets should be played as soon as both players in the pair are defined? While it's technically possible, I'm afraid it's not so easy from the tournament management perspective - in the current system,, admins are supposed to control the flow of the tournament and make sure that players are well aware of when the next round is scheduled.

Hi, I have a small problem with my tournament. Even though I edited result of a match it doesn't put correct player into the next round. How am I suppose to solve such issues?

I'm afraid you can't fix it by yourself, but we'll work on the fix asap

Some main screen interface feedback for things that I think could be better:

Tournaments should probably be organized by the one that starts nearest in terms of time instead of farthest. It'd make more sense for users to see what are the closest tournaments coming to check out or to sign up for instead of which ones are furthest away. Alternatively, add a filter option to sort in ascending/descending order.

I feel like finished tournaments should be hidden by default as to not "clutter" up the main page, again - if anyone wants to check those out they can always filter by them or look for specific ones.

Perhaps add a "Featured Tournaments" at the top of the screen or something? I don't know how difficult it would be to maintain, but it'd be neat to see a section of select "high-profile" tournaments to sign up for or to check out.

Probably could use a report function of some sort in case someone creates a tournament with an inappropriate name and/or description, just for safety reasons.

I think that's about all I got for now off the top of my head. Thanks for working on the platform, can't wait to see what other changes or additions it gets over time

Awesome feedback, thanks!
1) I agree, we'll look into rearranging current logic.
2) Yep, it also makes sense.
3) We have this feature already

4) While we don't have a designated report system for things like that - you can report problematic submission using standard methods - i.e. support tickets, or reaching out to us here or on socials.

Hi, first look feedback.

User settings:
In user settings after clicking ‘save’ there is no confirmation (popup) that saving happened.

Organization setting and organization creation:
In organization details, there is no place to put website url.
One communication option should be marked as “During tournament use this one”.
Description setting in the organization doesn’t let add clickable links.
The description doesn’t save new lines.
I wasn’t able to save organization avatar, no error popup.

Tournament creation:
In the tournament description, there is no way to set a custom image. With generic one, it is hard to separate professional tournaments from player-based.
Not sure why user needs to still choose “Decks deadline date” and “Decks format open” when earlier you choose “Leaders” only.

In swiss setting “Amount of loses” it is not explained what does this option do.
In tournament creation when adding streamers and admins, their avatars don’t show up, so the user is not sure if he is adding the correct person.

It would be nice if there would be some iframe element to add live info about the tournament on other websites (title, image, number of players signed in already).

During tournament:
In problem reporting should be info that “screenshot” is usually required to proceed with the problem report.

Website general:
Main tournament page doesn’t seem to have any pagination and will have infinity length.

Thanks for your feedback, many good points there!

I'm organizing a tournament which limits ppl to using stockpile leader only. I also need to check if they can meet the criteria or not so I turned on the "pick and ban" option. Unfortunately that option has a minimum of 2 decks and 1 ban which is not suitable for the tournament I'm trying to create because the participants only need 1 specific deck in order to join. If you just reduce the minimum to 1 and 0 respectively I can easily arrange tournaments such as these in the future.

Hm, I must admit we didn't design this with such exotic type of tournaments in mind. I'll see what we can do about that.

Hello!

First of all, congratulations for this amazing tool. This is a huge milestone for tournament creators. I have a few questions regarding some of your features.

1. How do ties work for the tournament development? I don't see any specifications about what happens in case of a tie in a game. Is there any chance to set rules about ties or will be rematch only?

2. I'm trying to create a Round Robin league that will be played during two months (2 rounds per week, giving the flexibility to play whenever the players can) but I want to allow changing decks for each round. Is there a chance to make a feature that enables players to send new decks for each round instead of having the same ones until the end? (I unverified the decks after rounds, but this didn't allow them to send new ones).

Also, I see that I can enable all rounds at once, but players can't play rounds in any order, they have to play the first round before the second, it would be perfect to let them start the pick and ban phase without following the order as they gonna play against everyone eventually.

PD: I set the W/D/L points to 3 1 0 but the wins gave them only 2 points and the losses 0.

Thank you for your time!

Hello! Please see my answers below:
1) As of now, resolution of ties is connected to the type of the bracket - in Swiss ties never replayed, in Eliminations - always replayed. Adding more flexibility to these settings is in our backlog.
2) Don't want to say it's impossible, but it sounds rather complicated. Perfectly understand your specifics needs here, but can't promise we can make it happen anytime soon.
3) can you please link your tournament with W/D/L points bug here?

Hi! Awesome work right here, but there is a single question, how do i edit a bracket as admin in crusial situations like disconects? As i understand i could change match result, but platform moves forward the guy who got win anyway and i could not edit it( It simply makes impossible to replay any disconection on the event( Look through screenshot below to understand what i am talking about)

View attachment 11055626

Shouldn't work like this - manually editing match results should affect the bracket accordingly. We'll work on a fix. Thanks for the report!

So I just clicked on Organization in tournament and got to owners panel. I'm not owner of this organization but seems that I can manage it. (Didn't try it for obvious reasons? so maybe it's only visual, but at least I can see all admins).

P.S. contacted owner and tried adding myself to admins, but nothing happend, so it's really only visual.
@Burza46 @SlamaTwoFlags @ThorSerpent

Thanks for the report, looks like a visual bug, indeed.
