Category: Toornament Update

You are organizing a tournament, open to all? You don’t want to have to manually accept registrations, and let the system handle that part? It is now possible on Toornament thanks to a new option available in the Registration Settings menu:

This option will automatically validate all registrations in your tournament, in order of creation date, and up to the tournament size limit. Future participants will have the very same experience, it’s just that the validation of their registration (and the email that comes with it) will arrive immediately, instead of after a manual action from you.

If you wish to learn more about the specifics of this new feature, how it works and behaves in certain situations:

Organizers and participants alike, we have a new update coming to the platform today, that will make your lives easier!
From now on, participants are able to see, and edit, their registration information after they have submitted it. To access it, a player (or any player from a registered team), has a new “My Registration” item in the Tournament Navigation:

The options offered to you depend on the status of your registration, and you can learn more about it in the

We have other improvements coming to the website soon to make the registration process even better, like auto-validation of the registrations, see our Public Roadmap for more information!

Huge news for our fellow organizers that are also developers, our new version of the API just got a lot of its missing endpoints in the Organizer scope!

You are now able to perform actions on your tournaments, such as creating a new one, retrieving all of your tournaments, editing their general settings and even deleting them!

Along with these tournament endpoints, Matches and Participants also have their endpoints in the API v.2!

See our API Documentation for all useful information about this tool for you to use our Toornament technology on your website, to improve your event production! If you would like to build amazing things with our API, request an access by sending an email to our Contact!

Mario Tennis Aces
Ironsight
The Crew 2
World of Warcraft
Cuisine Royale

MotoGP 18

If you want us to add your game, or a game you organize tournaments on, to our supported list, feel free to contact us and we will gladly meet your demand!

Following our Dashboard Update, we keep on improving our organizers’ experience with the platform with these two new quality-of-life updates:

Tooltips

Help messages are now integrated into the platform, for a better readability, without being in the way of more advanced users.

Pay attention, some of them have links inside to learn more about advanced features!

New Settings

Just like how we gathered all relevant information about the tournament status on a single interactive Dashboard, all settings are now accessible from a single page, much clearer and design than the unfolding menu:

Blocks may appear or disappear depending on the discipline, and will be greyed out if you do not have the permission to use them.

These are soon to be followed by other improvements, especially in the Participant (registration process update) and Developer (Organizer API v.2) domains! Stay tuned!

You do remember our old dashboard, with its cards and icons?
You can now kiss it goodbye, as we release a brand new dashboard, made to guide you through your whole tournament process:

Blocks are now evolving as your tournament progress, displaying relevant information during the setup and running phases, such as the registrations, participants, stages, matches etc.

As usual, it’s bound to get improved further, so don’t hesitate telling us what you think about it, and if you want to share your feedback about other features, our Feedback Form is still up!

As you may have noticed these past weeks, new General Data Protection Regulation have come into effect in Europe. As we have always taken privacy very seriously, it did not change much on the platform: we have always only asked for the necessary data we need to provide you with the services (basically, an email address, all the rest is optional), we do not track our users, we do not sell your data, there are no ads or monetization of your data etc.
Though, it still caused a few changes on the platform, and here they are:

First, we have updated our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. We recommend you take the time to read those at least once.

If you have any question on these matters, a new contact email address is now available: privacy@toornament.com
You will also notice the apparition of a “Report Abuse” link or button on several pages. This will allow you to report any abuse you might encounter on the platform, through another email contact: abuse@toornament.com.

In addition, organizers have now the possibility to add their own Custom Terms of Use to tournaments they organize, that participants will have to accept along those of Toornament when registering to a tournament. Please note that these Custom Terms of Use shall comply with our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Finally, you may now delete your Toornament account easily from Your Account if you no longer have a use for the service, or any other reason.

All in all, it means that by using Toornament, you are GDPR compliant, and can keep organizing your tournaments with peace of mind!
