check off waiting for players

click find a tournament

top line type in Ha's 200th

choose select on the right

Then it brings you back to the game finder screen

Then press search


This is what I am going to send out for my big tourney--I am curious to know how to just send a link to the available games waiting for a tourney--I already have way too many new tourney players that have a hard time finding the games. For me to give them six steps will make it even harder on them. I know for whac a mod there was a link directly to the awaiting games--I just don't know how to do it--thanks

I believe the invites part is now fixed as I went through and invited a whole tourney today without any issues. Although I like the old way I personally will not find it too hard to use this. I did post a question about creating links to awaiting games and when I figure out how to do that I won't have issue with this update. I was already getting used to the box anyway.

A new window? I loved the first update...this is even worse than scrolling for ages.
Now my iPhone opens a new window completely!

Please...keep a partial match option on the game finder page and include a link for the complainers who didn't like it.

This solution is even worse for us mobile users....:(

When you get to the list of tournaments, click "select" (to the right), not the tournament title. I did the same thing the first time.

again still not answering my question what was wrong with qwerts idea since it received wide spread TO support.

That the drop-down he wants for active/ongoing tournaments will still have 550 entries. Drop-downs really should never have that many...
And I'd imagine it'd be quite difficult to code active tournaments into 1 drop box when you'd probably need to go back to the main tournament database to get that data, so to have that as an extra pageload for those that need the data instead of sending that request every time you go to game finder seems to be a better way to go?


considering the drop box had thousands of tourneys in it and it worked fine without any delays for me so reducing it to only active would be more beneficial way to go about it. a dropbox is a better way to go as ppl are used to it and a combo of it and the search would be fine in my opinion.

i think the big issue here should be why is this system being pushed forward when it has been met with overwhelmingly negative responses from TO's.

I hate the tournament update. For me, the original fix is actually easier to use than this one. And that's saying a lot, because I loathe entirely the original update.

I agree.

Here's my problem. I like to Search TLO 2010 and then search for all games in the current round just to see how all the matchups are going. With the most recent update, there is no way to combine a tourney search along with a Game Label search - I cannot find both completed and active games in Round 22 of the TLO 2010 tournament. Without a Game Label field in the Tourney Finder, this most recent update is a further step backwards.

Ok, so now when I create clan games and want to keep track of the score, I have to actually write down the game numbers? I cannot find all the games from a war at once... this is a super pain!

Except you can. All the popup does is pick which tournament you add to the Game Finder page. You can still pick any other setting and Game Label you want before you actually click to Search.

Clan wars are still listed as a tournament, so you just search for it in the popup the same way you do for other tournaments.

I used to be able to pull up all the clan war games that were finished in a certain clan war, then I could tally what the score was.... there is no way to do this anymore.

Yes you can. Go to the [Find a Tournament] button and use the popup to search for your clan war using one of the search criteria in the popup. When the list comes up, you click [Select] to insert your tournament name into the game finder page. You can then modify the rest of the Game Finder page just like you did in the past: by game label and/or by game status. Then click Search. It'll work. If you still can't figure it out, you're going to have to post the name of the tournament so people can figure out if there is a bug. You can't just say it doesn't work without specifics, because as far as we know, it does work.

You're right. I must have been experiencing a bug last night. Selected tournaments weren't pulling into Game Finder for me.

Postby Fuzzy316 on Sat Jun 04, 2011 5:16 pm

I do not know if it has anything to do with this update, but I had 4 round 2 games and 1 round 3 final game set up for the next wave of games for my first tourney. I can no longer find those 5 games with the games numbers. Nor do I appear to have the tourney privileges anymore, so I cannot create more games when needed. I have contacted InsomniaRed about that, but they may be linked...

I followed your instructions, and hit "select" and it does nothing to the game finder page. Am I supposed to have BOB installed?

This is a site feature, not a BOB feature. You have to provide more information than just saying it's not working. What war? What browser? The only thing it should be doing is putting the name of the tournament onto the game finder page. It doesn't automatically start looking up the games.

I get the same error from my work PC, running IE8. I'll successfully search for a tournament but when I hit the "select" link, I get an "Error on page" message on the bottom left and it never adds that tournament to the main game finder screen.

At home, I have no problem pulling the tournament into game finder using Firefox/BOB when I hit the "select" link.

Yep, it's a problem with IE8 at least, but probably all IE versions, bug report was created:
