Match up active players in Auto Tournies with more accuracy.
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2014 11:54 pmConcise description:
Program a tournament matchup system that ignores players who are invalid before matchups are made and matches active players exclusively with active players whenever possible.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
In an auto tournament, players are automatically assigned their opponents. When an opponent's account is invalid, or their free membership status restricts them from joining those games, the remaining valid player is given an auto win.
For example, a massive amount of players received no-contest wins in the 1v1 tourney:

In tournies with 3 or 5 game sets or more, this phenomenon destroys the balanced playing field that should ideally be found in a tournament setting.
Thanks.
