Fix Start A Game for TO's!!

Post by jrh_cardinal »

Concise description:
  • with the new update, when you start a game the big box appears at the top saying "success....". IT'S TOO BIG! You can't see the "Create" Button, you have to scroll down every time
Specifics/Details:
  • For those of you that don't know, Tournament Organizer's (TO's) can create as many games for their tournament as they want, all at one time. So, if you create a tournament game, it stays on the Start A Game page and it keeps all of the settings you just had so that it is easier to start a bunch of tourney games at once.
  • Under the old system, the "Success" thing was just one line, so after you created a game, you could still see the "Create" button at the bottom, you didn't have to scroll
  • With the new update, the "Success" thing is a huge box, and after you create a game, you can't see the "Create" button at the bottom, you have to scroll down
  • So, I think this needs to be fixed. The options are: 1 get rid of the big "success" box, 2 move the "create" button to the top of the page, 3 when you create a game, don't automatically go back up to the top of the page, have the site keep you where you were scrolled on the page.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • it will make it easier for TO's to make a lot of new games at once
  • it will not benefit the site as of a couple days ago at all, it will jut correct what in my view is a newly created problem for TO's

I agree, I think they're both good ideas and need to be implemented, but they both need to be implemented. For my MLB Tourney, I create well over 100 games a week, and there are 30 different map/settings combos (1 for each team), so that wouldn't help me very much for that tourney ;). But yes, they're both good ideas, just different

Oh, I know that some tourneys need many games, all with different settings.. but since you are pressing all those different settings and maps anyway, does one scroll matter that much? (I am asking because I do not know if it does, all of my tourneys use the same maps and settings.. So do not take offense by the question, I am purely curious ;))

I think it does, but I learned a new trick so it doesn't matter very much anymore :). If you've got one of the boxes highlighted you can press enter and it will start the game. It doesn't work unless you have something highlighted though

i agree with this one. Tourney organizers need all the tools they can in my opinion

I am loving both these ideas, it would definitely make for easier organizing of tourney games, especially those who run multiple tourneys simultaneously. =D>
