We’ve updated the participant page in the organizer dashboard with more information and navigation options:
Your participants screen now show all the main numbers: participants numbers, how many are checked in, how many are registered, tournament size.
We’ve also ironed out the check in / validate / refuse actions in the list with back buttons.
We’ve enhanced some navigation parts of Toornament, check them out!
The growing number of past, current and incoming tournaments for each game called for a proper navigation, with pages for each tab.
You can search up to 20 pages. Beyond, our search engine is your best friend.
Since we started dedicated tournament pages, we’ve told you that they would evolve from Widget-based content to dedicated content. We’re getting there (teaser, teaser…), starting with the navigation bar.
“Matches” and “Schedule” now let a menu scroll down for an easier and faster navigation to the information you and your participants are looking for.
“Schedule” menu will appear if schedules other than “Match” are created by the tournament organizer.
These front tweaks are the first of more to come… Stay tuned!
We’re very excited to release one of the most asked feature on Toornament: Participant Match Reporting!
Allowing your participants to report their own match results will save you loads of time. And because you know us, we didn’t just deliver the basic tool but came up with additional features! Here they are.
We’re happy to announce our new Facebook Page, “Toornament eSports”
Yes, it’s 2016 and we’re launching a Facebook page. But make no mistake, this is not just your regular fanpage!
We thought our Facebook page as an eSports calendar embedded right into your Facebook timeline. As many people use the famous social network to manage their calendar, we thought it’d be cool for them to track eSports tournaments too.
Just “Like” our page and participate in our events to be notified of all the major eSports tournaments around the world.
Our Facebook page is a nice sidekick to our main website and mobile app to discover and follow eSports tournaments everyday, from everywhere.
We’re happy to announce that our maximum participants size has been buffed from 128 to 256! We released this feature for some of our partners like Gamers Assembly and Dreamhack a few weeks back and now, we’re rolling it out for everyone!
This upgrade is the visible part of a deeper change in our architecture approach. Good news is the only change that you’ll experience when generating a toornament is that the process will occur in the background for a few seconds, depending on your tournament size.
You may thus see new messages like these ones:
Note that triple-phase structures (i.e. groups + groups + bracket) are still maxed at 128 participants while League format goes up to 32 participants.
As we said before, this new upper limit is the first step to a larger infrastructure overhaul which aims to raise the bar even higher.
And when we say “higher”, we mean it: in the next months, Toornament will be able to
handle up to 4096 participants! Do you hear us, EVO?
Yet, “With great powers comes great responsibility”: This huge amount of participants also raises UI challenges. We’ve already shown you how large is a 128 participants bracket. A 4000+ one – or even 1000+ – would lead to an uber-heavy, hard to navigate webpage.
Until then, we’ll work on smooth an natural visualizations designed with these gigantic structures in mind. We’ll keep you in touch, as always. In the meantime, enjoy your 256 participants tournaments!
