Game Link After Creating a Game

Concise description:
A useful shortcut on the created game screen would be to link the game number to the game so that, by clicking it you can go straight to the created game so that players could then be invited.

Specifics/Details:
I have the match-ups and game numbers in Excel. As an example, in my Noughts & Crosses tournament when a game finishes and I get the chosen map for the next game, I create a game, copy the game number into my spreadsheet and then create the game to which I invite the two players. I copy the game number from the created game screen.


(The game number I copy from is highlighted)

With tournaments in which I create multiple games, I use Excel to send multiple invites, so my suggestion only would be useful in instances where a few single games are created - such as tournaments in which different maps and/or settings have been specified or when you have to create a new game because one of the players joined the wrong game.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
It will greatly benefit the TO's when they have to create single games such as in the above instances.

Dave, I'm not exactly sure what you were asking for here. Can you make it a little clearer? The game number is already provided, so I'm just not sure what else you were wanting.

he wants the game number to be a hyperlink to the game created

Yeah, I PM'ed with Dave and got it now. I think this doesn't really matter for him anymore, because you can invite people on game creation. So, no real need. However, I don't see what the harm would be in this and it should be fairly simple to be done, from my non-programmer perspective.

it might be handy if you are using Watch This Game but yeah, not much need now.

On the gamecreation page it says Invite Player and next it says
#find a member
it would really be usefull if there would be a quick link to your clanmembers,
this would save alot of time, instead copy pasting the names all the time
or do you have a better , quicker way how to setup clangames?

1. Friend your clan members.
2. Remember their names?
3. Make a .doc list of them?

Inviting people on game creation is still dreadfully inconvenient.

In 90% of my tournaments, I still invite people using the Game Finder. To invite them from the Start a Game window, you have to type their full username into the space. That's dreadfully inconvenient, especially when they have special characters and stuff in their names. To invite them from Game Finder, you just have to type 2 or 3 characters of their username, and Firefox's autocomplete pops up with the full username. So, almost always using Game Finder for invites is faster and easier.

The only exception is in tournaments where you're creating a lot of identical games, stuff like the GLGH series. There I can see using the Start a Game window.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I'm in favour of this suggestion.
