I've just noticed that on the Gamefinder page, the tournament narrative has changed to a scroll down menu, instead of a box to type part of the tournament name.
Would it be possible to also retain the text box option? I find it very handy for running my tournaments, for example in my Baseball doubles, I can type in MLB R6, and get a list of all the round 6 matches.
This new option is going to add a lot of time onto the running of tournaments

If you don't regularly inform the tournament mods of which tournaments you are currently running then they take it away.
EDIT: The day I was going to post new games for my tournaments I had my privileges gone again and on top of that I couldn't find my topics. So I'm pretty annoyed with the whole process.
About the new feature (Tournament drop down box)

The new feature is good but, it should be possible to still search on keywords so all games of that tournament can be found on 1 page, so that you don't have to look at every game individually as tournament director.
Cheers!

If you just click on the box and start typing your tournament title it will still go right to it, you don't have to scroll. It just doesn't look like you can type in there.
I just figured it out a minute or so ago.

No, the new feature is crap. When was it suggested and why? It was easier to type names.

I can only type the first character and then I have to keep hitting that character and go through all the ones that start with it to get to the one I want to see, it's complete bs.

You do realize they have finished tourney games in there as well, right ?

Yes but I like to type part of the tournament name, just the round and not the teams, to get al list of every game in a particular round.

Well I'm, currently running about 10 tournaments and notified the mods within the last couple of weeks, so that can't be the problem

I blame communists. Perhaps there's a red under your bed?

Yes, same for me. I do have them bookmarked via the Greasemonkey script, but this also doesn't work any more now
I also would like the open field back.

Yes, but you can't search for only the active games in a tournament only any more now, so you will now have to go to each game seperately to see if it's finished or not.
This new feature is not good for tournament organisers. Maybe they can get both features together if they want to keep this one also.

I'm still working on this feature. I accidentally installed it before it was finished. So hold those comments...

I accidentaly installed a new tourney privilege system before it was finished. I am working on this now...

I accidentally put in the new game finder code before it was ready. I am working on getting the list down to something mangeable...

Well that's cool. Still doesn't explain why my tournaments are gone. I'm not going to press the issue though.

I figured it has something to do with that. Any chance of a rough estimate of when we'll be back up and running? I've already notified my players of the situation.

please fix soon, pretty, pretty please. For us tourney organisers this has made our job a lot more difficult.

Most of the tourney privs are restored.
If you have multiple tournaments going on and only the privs for one of them, please wait patiently.

Aaaahh, I see...so the privileges are actually linked specifically to the tournaments now. Right on. I'll wait for my others to get up and running then since only one is working at the moment.
Although....does this mean we cannot create our own tags for searches to make it easier to keep track of now? I just want to be sure.
Can I still create things like "Cybertronian League - Optimus" and "Cybertronian League - Ironhide" or am I only able to use "Cybertronian League" with all the games under one?

All my previous complaints are out the window now, I really like that the tournament names are locked in and it seems my bracket tournament is back, although I have no clue where my topic is.

It's fixed now, I'm liking the new system a lot, people can't post 20 different names for the same tourney anymore or host tournaments they aren't supposed to while they have privileges.

It's fixed, it rocks, yay lack. I thought I'd hate it, I'm pleasantly surprised.

I don't see a change yet. I always give all my tournament games different names, so this way they all get into the list seperately. So far I preferred the way it previously was.
