Category: Toornament Update

As a powerful eSport platform, Toornament offers plenty of advanced features, tools and customization options.  This rich array of possibilities can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers at times.

In this view, we streamlined the process and are happy to introduce our Creation Wizard, making a tournament creation as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Pick your discipline and your participants

2. Add the basic tournament information

3. Start the registrations

Note that the Paid Registration option is available right away. To know more about this feature, check our blog post.

That’s it, you’re set. As the regular Toornament Dashboard appears, it is now easier than ever to create a competition in Toornament. Tell you friends!

You read it right: our much awaited API has reached private Beta!

Made for medias, video game and community developers, it will act as a solid foundation for your eSport section, retrieving rich data from the thousands of public tournaments created by our community and the featured tournaments our team covers and pushes.

Our API lets you create automated modules or an automated eSports section. This first version of our API is Read Only and compliant with REST and JSON standards. You’ll get the following information from our database:

• List of tournaments filtered by: game, importance, dates, location

For each tournament:

• General information and structure
• Participants
• Schedule
• Matches and statistics
• Streams and VODs

A few weeks from now, it will feature Read and Write resources, like Score Reporting. Of course, our API is free and only subject to the visual attribution “Powered by Toornament”.

To get an early access to our API, feel free to contact us at [email protected] and tell us what you’d like to build with it, we’d be happy to help!

In the meantime, you can already get an early start by checking the complete API documentation and resources guide on our new, dedicated developer site: developer.toornament.com

We can’t wait to see you use our API!

We’ve updated our mobile app “Toornament eSports” to support and embed the most popular streaming and video platforms straight from the tournament home screen!

Our widget family is happy to welcome a new one today! Meet “Participants Widget” which will, as its name says, display all the participants of your tournament.

This new widget boasts some specifities:

• It is content-only. No menus or interactions
• Its height varies with the amount of participants
• Single or multi columns style, depending on the chosen width
• Team based games will show line ups
• New unicode font, and clean design!

This widget will come very handy when you want to display your participants list on your website, in a post or embedded in a sidebar. Of course, you can fine tune the widget dimensions by editing the embed code.

The Participants Widget is available today, in the “Share” tab of your tournament dashboard. Enjoy!
