League Support and more written by Uz, 2008-10-15 09:40 CEST
- league support
- added tool to replace participants in the middle of a season
- updated to Django-1.0
- added google ads again
- This feature consists of 2 simple changes. First, during group stage initialisation, you can now select 'copy seeding groups', instead of evenly distributing the participants across the groups. This gives you 100% control on how the groups are created by giving participants of the same group the same rating. Secondly, after a season is over, you can copy the last season's participant list over to the new one. I hope to soon add an improved display of the order of groups and automatically make the ratings of the new participant list change based on the last seasons group stage results.
- An often requested feature was to replace participants in an already created tournament. So if now somebody goes away or doesnt show up for his first or second match or just has to go for whatever reason, you can replace him with sb. else. It's not possibly to fill empty spots, but if you know you are really going to need this functionality, you can just add unregistered participants with the name 'tba' or 'empty', and replace those as necessary.
- I also updated to version 1.0 of the excellent python web framework django, which tourney.cc is based on. Due to a number of backwards incompatible changes in this release, it's very well possible that this introduced a number of bugs. If you come across one, send me an email and I'll have it fixed as soon as possible.
- There is a single 468 x 60 pixel image ad on all tournament sites now. If you want to see your own ads there or you think there is a good reason why I should remove the ad for your tournament, make sure to send me an email so we can talk about it.
I'd like to thank everyone that provided me with feature requests and bug reports. While I can't implement everything at once, I still have a long list of things to implement and experiment with. For the next few months, however, I'll try to improve all the existing features, rather than adding any new and shiny ones (with the exception of possibly adding an iframe mode to integrate tourney.cc into existing sites).
