This is a poor implementation of a solution to a simple problem, I am sorry to say.

Not only does it permanently break some scripts it is unwieldy and not how all the other sites on the internet do this.
If you want I can discuss how it should be done (will also achieve your goal of lightening the page load without opening a new window)

Major opposition to this change from most people on here including mods , this cannot stay like this a different system is needed.

i dont think i have ever seen people complain about game finder taking too long to load so the pageload can only be on the sites end isnt there a way to make it more efficent,taking out finished tourneys from the drop box would reduce it by a good bit. if that isnt good enough then can the dropbox w/active tourney be put into tourney tab then linked from game finder so people can follow it and get game numbers without that stupid pop up that we have now. i dont know much about this tech stuff so maybe a better solution can be suggested but i do know this cannot stay the same.

UPDATE

The popup tournament finder now works in Internet Explorer.

I also made it easier to figure out how it works by removing extra links.

Please note that we originally got rid of the huge dropdows because users, Tournaments and Tech Team mods complained about it and requested something better. We also consulted the Tournament Directors on all solutions before launching them. It is tricky to find something that is efficient and pleases everyone but we will continue to monitor input from all directions and possibly make further changes to come up with the best solution.

I was one of the loudest complainers, so I feel obligated to say something positive. I understand that the changes were a response to our complaints, and I appreciate that you've been working hard to come up with a solution. And before I go on, I want to stress that this is one of the most stable web-based games I've ever seen and overall I really enjoy it and I'm happy with 98% of it.

I do not think the current solution to the Game Finder/Tournament window is correct, and I really hope you consider my suggestion. Which is:
There should be two pull-downs, of the same type as the original Tournament pull-down.
One should be for current/ongoing tournaments, the other for historical/completed tournaments. (The latter could be replaced by the pop-up that you have now.)
There should be a two-choice radio button beside these two pull-downs, which toggles between them.
The default is "current" which is what is probably used 95% of the time or better. When this button is selected (in its default position) then the Ongoing Tournaments pull-down is active and the other one is not. By selecting "historical" a user de-activates the Ongoing Tournaments pull-down and enables the other one.

I hope my persistent complaints about this issue have not overshadowed the fact that I love this site and am a big supporter of most of the things you've done. =D>

but there was someyhing way better than this crappy solution ,qwerts suggestion to split it into active and finished.like dukasaur said 2 drop boxes are a solution.active tourneys in one and a pop up for finished in another.no pop up for active as it is really annoying to have it the way it is now.

it seems the request was denied as something better didnt happen.

well if you split like i suggest,then your problem with large number of tournament will be solve,because you will constatly get aprohimately 500-600 tournament in list, so you will remove over 4000 tournament from list(move to finished button) and your problem will be solve efective.
I realy dont understand why you dont even to try these option, and to see how will these working.

I usually appreciate the updates that are done and hardly complain about them but this update is horrible for tournament organisers. CC should support one its most dedicated communities - the tournament organisers - but instead a selfish update has been made that does not serve and benefit TOs nor does it seem to make anything else good for the whole community. Such a shame!

That's pretty nice, I'm sure most TOs will be satisfied with this solution. Thanks for finding ways to improve the fix!

Important Tournament Notice

The data for ALL of my tournaments has potentially been lost. I am working to recover it but as I am away on business all of this week, there will be some delay. Sincere apologies.

Yes. There is a drop down box for the ongoing tournies that TO's have, so we can find them much quicker.

In the future, when we update and expand our Tournament Database, something like this might be done to show what Tournaments a User has enrolled to play in. That is a ways down the road, but consider this a step towards that. :D

The game finder update is fantastic for a tournament organizer, like myself.

Thank you for continuing to work through the bugs.

It's appreciated.
