Category: Toornament Update

Our developer team has been hard at work to adapt the whole website for localization. We are glad to announce that Toornament is now fully ready to receive new languages, and the first ones are already available!
You can select your language from the navigation menu (located bottom of the sidebar in the Organizer Dashboard):

Toornament currently supports English (UK), English (US) and French.
The difference between UK and US English being the way the dates and times are displayed, with the AM/PM system and MM/DD/YYYY format for the US English locale.

The website is now ready to receive new languages, and the next ones to come in the upcoming weeks will be, as planned:

• Spanish
• Portuguese
• German
• Polish

Please let us know if you think some translations need improvements, or if you meet issues with texts or dates!
And tell us if you would like to have Toornament available in your language, so that we can decide on what languages to be added next!

Following feedback from our community, we improved the way our brackets are displayed on the website, to make them clearer and condensed. This will allow for more information to be visible at the same time on a page, along a better readability of a bracket stage:

These stages are the same, and as you can see, rounds are now clearly designated, with match information visible at all times, and information about players entering the stage or changing brackets.
The bracket links are shorter, and the Winner & Loser brackets are separated to make them more compact, all while gaining in readability.
These upgrades are available for all bracket-type stages (Single & Double Elimination, Bracket Groups and Gauntlets)!

This is the first of a series of improvements to come to the brackets, with more to come for the matches!

Toornament is an ever-evolving platform, and some updates and improvements are mandatory to move forward.
We often call upon our community to share their thoughts about the other features, that are more quality-of-life improvements, and provide us with insights that only seasoned organizers can provide.
And here we are again, giving every user of Toornament the possibility to tell us what they think about the platform, its features, and what would be the best choices moving forward.

In that regard, we have devised a short survey for you to fill, if you wish to add your voice to the ones we will hear when developing our next features:

Thank you for the time you take to help shape what Toornament will become, we really appreciate it!

One of the challenges a tournament organizer has to face is getting the word out. Toornament already provides tools such as the Widgets to convey information about an upcoming competition, and a new one is added to the list today: the Tournament Playlist.
This is a page where any user can create a selection of tournaments, to be shared as a whole page, or via a new Widget:

This is especially useful for LAN Parties, such as the 2019 Gamers Assembly above, that gathered all of their 2019 tournaments in a single playlist. But there are many other situations where a playlist comes in handy, like for the League of Legends “Grosse Ligue”, the French university league. The competition is first played on a regional level, and here are all the regional tournaments:

These are examples, but there are many other cases where it might be useful, would you want to share the tournaments you have participated in, or simply want to create a list of tournaments you want to share! Go ahead and try the Playlists, they are available for everyone!
