Editable Game Labels [Tournanent and Clan Games]

[JamesKer1]

Concise description:

• Game Labels in Tournaments/Clan Wars should be Editable

Specifics/Details:

• I don't know how many times I've found out I labelled a game wrong after everyone starts joining it. It would nice to be able to edit the game labels since they don't affect the game. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem to players, but it becomes a pain to have to check which game it should be labelled as for TO's when they are scoring and updating the tourney. I'm sure this could transfer over to clans as we'll.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• This will help make up the mistakes for forgetful people such as myself.

From a tournament director perspective, I can't really see a downside to this other than if someone has set up some url bookmark for themselves and would need to change it because of the change in the title. That's relatively minor.

I would support this as a TO, Clan Leader, and TD.

This sounds like a nice tool on first blush. I think I would support it.

that is a different suggestion and not a problem as tournament names can already be changed. i have had a few done myself after i realised i'd spelt the map name wrong.

this sug seems to be about editing the Game Labels we give the games such as Round 1, Round 2, Team Fallen vs Team About To Be Stomped On, etc. it would not impact urls.

as this would impact such a tiny amount of games which can already be dealt with by recreating them this sug only has my mild support. however, if implemented it would be handy to re-label games i've started with incorrect settings as "Yes, I'm a dumbass and forgot this game should have been Fog".

This would apply to games that are in progress and that haven't started

Sure, it's not very frequent... But it can really mess you up if you label it wrong, not just fix minor typos.

Here's some examples:

Top Two Results of This Tourney
This Game
This Game

That's just two tournaments, I've done more I'm sure... In the first, that will mess me up when I go to put results in. Wish I could edit it.

why limit this to only games that haven't started. a tournaments name can be changed after it has started, this would be more useful if it applied to all games.

Added this in my other post... Not limited until Privileges are revoked I would think.

every time i've seen this thread i've read it as Edible Game Labels

[Bruceswar]

I support this also.

[Keefie]

It gets my backing.

[JamesKer1]

Well, what's this one going to hurt if implemented? Game Labels don't really matter except for TO's/Clan Leader's sake, and since those are some of the most popular extensions of the game we have, why not add a little bit to improve them and make them look more professional? (No more tiny spelling errors, etc.)... Seems like a no brainier to me.

I would be all for this suggestion!!!

[Night Strike]

I would only support this suggestion if TDs have access to see the original label of the tournament.

I believe this is only asking about changing the labels for games, not the name of the tournament itself.

Correct. Sorry for any confusion.

There wasn't any confusion on my part. And TDs can already change tournament names.

Then you'll need to clarify your statement -- what do you mean by the 'original label of the tournament'?

The version prior to any edits, which would be the original.

Can you provide some insight as to why the TDs would need to be able to see the unedited game label?

We spoke to the TD's privately and it seems that they would be OK with allowing this only until the game starts. Since this is really their purview, I'll grant them the discretion on this one. To the OP: would it still be worth doing if you could only change the label until the game started?

It would still be worth it, anything is good really, but to maximize potential it would be great to make this at any point in my opinion. However, if we can start from there and build up to improve on it in the future, that would be fine. (Like Qwert's map board)
