Website Feedback
From now on, all news about the forums will go here. When we add staff members, new features, or something else, you will know about it via the Portal. We hope to deliver updates on the forums quicker via this method, and to inform you all more about changes than we have in the past. Website Feedback has been changed so that all threads are a direct line to the staff. Only you and the staff will see your thread there from now on. We hope that by implementing this method that more members will speak up and be open about their ideas and changes they want to see in the forums and website.
Chat Updates
The rules for the pb chat have been updated as well. Please review them in the Chat FAQ section of the Rules & Info thread. This goes for both members and staff members. We now have guidelines on what you should be doing and shouldn't be doing if you are chat staff.
Pairings Generator
Have you ever wanted to start up a tournament, but weren't sure about being able to make pairings and being fair in awarding byes? We now have just the tool for you. This bracket maker will do the hard work of making pairings and awarding a random bye if one is necessary. It has been coded by me by request since the main one we use for Video Game Tournaments no longer exists.
To use it, all you need to do is put one name on each line. Do not put a blank line at the end or it can mess up pairings. Once all player names are entered click the button to generate your pairings. Before it does the pairings it will remove duplicate entries which can be helpful when you are pairing up a large list of players. Simply copy the pairings generated into a thread you make.
The bracket maker will eventually have more features as I get them to work. I've been trying to build an option for assigning as many byes as necessary in round 1 to never have a bye the rest of the tournament, but so far it is still screwing up.
