Fix Standings on Big Screen View for Progressive Strikes Tournament
Once again we had confusion over standings when a round was "in progress". I recommend sorting the standings with the following technique:
First issue: players are grouped by number of rounds won, but they should be grouped by number of strikes to account for manually adjusted strikes.
Second issue: players in a round "in progress" should be assigned a partial strike for sorting purposes, and displayed in italics, or with an icon (maybe question mark in circle with the X-in-circle strikes) so it's clear that they're still playing.
So in the standings, you'd have 0-strike players who have completed the…

Game Bank selections
The game banks addition is really nice, especially with the printed scoresheets. My only request/suggestion is allowing the manual selection of a game bank. This way players (such as the top seed in each group) have the option of picking a game bank, rather than it being randomly selected. For now I'm just manually changing the games in the banks that are randomly selected with the games in the bank the player chose as a workaround.

Balance Arena Draws When More Than 2 Players on Multiple Pins
Applies to any head 2 head format. We have X pins on location. Each pin has an A and B arena (i.e. Metallica A and Metallica B). This allows 2 matches to be drawn on the same machine when we have more than 2X people.
Occasionally this results in Matchplay putting 4 people on a few pins while leaving one completely unassigned. Can we make it so Matchplay knows that Metallica A and B are the same pin, and fill all other pins (A arenas) before doubling groups on pins (B arenas)?

Support balanced starting positions in round robin tournaments
Round Robin tournaments does not support balanced starting positions for players (double round robin has alternating starting positions). A configuration option should be added to round robin tournaments so tournament organizers can enabled balanced starting positions.

I vote for a single notification to pop up since the challenge could be made long distance too.
And a notification when a challenge has been accepted too!

Create a comparison tool for matchplay ratings
Allow a user to make comparisons of the ratings from multiple players. Easiest done by using a common tournament or a custom filter.
Since Seattle’s team league is using matchplay ratings this season it would be nice to be able look at multiple people’s ratings at once.

Give TD's an option for how byes effect the final standings of a knockout tournament
Add an option to award zero wins to a person with a bye in a 3 strikes tournament? I am of the personal belief that a bye should not count as a win, and go through the results after the fact and adjust for ties before submitting to the IFPA or a 3 strikes league results page.
If one player goes 0-3, and another player goes 0-3 with a bye (so they are eliminated in round 4).
Another option would be to give the TD a tiebreaking option. TD could have the option to award a half win for a…7 votes -
Registration fee when allowing self registration.
Require registration fee to be sent to TD email through PayPal (or other payament service) when allowing self registration. Would allow collection of IFPA fees for selfie leagues or other formats where sign ups are not done face-to-face.

Arena Draw Option/ Arena Priority
I recently hosted an 8 man double round robin tournament. It was terrible on MatchPlay. Here are the issues I encountered. We only had 4 machines on location. When I start the tournament it generates all 8 matches in all 8 rounds at once. Only 4 of the matches per round are assigned an arena as that is all that is available to draw from. In a format like this, it may be best to just generate all matches and machines to let the system balance the arena draws. Also in round 1 and just about every other round, it…

Swiss Pairing Across Series
I'd like to see an option that allows for Swiss Pairing across the whole of the series. We run a multi-week league, and each round drawn is based on Swiss Pairing. Currently we run the multiple weeks in a single Tournament. With the introduction of MatchPlay Ratings, I would like to be able to submit the results after each league night. However, there's no current option to do Swiss Pairing across the Series, I need to either manually figure this out to make sure pairings are right, or wait to submit to MatchPlay Ratings until the completion of League which…

Allow an option to adjust byes
In a knockout tournament I ran recently we had a player show up late. Round 1 had just begun and matches were underway, but not all matches had begun yet. One person received a bye, so we had the late sign up play the the person who received a bye in round 1. I was able to adjust the strikes accordingly, but now the person who received the bye is unable to draw a bye in future rounds until/if byes are even amongst players.

Allow TDs to manually adjust player's points for all tournament and series formats
TDs should always be able to adjust points as needed to handle mix-ups, ties, local rules, formats not entirely covered by the matchplay configuration, etc.

Provide a way to manage absolute ties
Right now if multiple players have the same score recorded on a game the tie is determined by the order the score was entered. In group formats the TD can modify points manually to account for this, but there are some formats where this is not possible.
TDs should be allowed to select if ties result in an actual tie and how lower-down results are treated (one below, skip positions, etc.)
For example - in a limited-entry or card format, two players are disqualified on the same game for a tilt through, playing out of turn, etc. They both receive…

Provide a view of Arena/Location historical data
In a single tournament I can view the number of times a given arena has been played and the playtime for each. It would be extremely helpful to see average playtime, number of plays, number of times an arena has been replaced, which players have played an arena, and even some data over time (play frequency or similar) across all tournaments using that arena.

Allow TDs to set card composition or counted score/drop requirements based on Arena category
Several tournaments I have played in and/or organized required a card/ticket/set that consisted of x games from different banks. TPF usually runs this type of format.
For example : Best 8 games across 12 machines, but at least two games must be played from each of A, B, and C Arena categories (4 in each category of the 12).
A very basic example of this would be a high score tournament where points are based on a player's best "Modern" game plus their best "Classic" game.

Add a new format: Fixed Card
This is a card format where a set group of games must be played together to form a valid card. TDs should be able to dictate what a "valid card" consists of (list of games) and then players or scorekeepers can select pre-set cards to assign to each player.

Add a new format: Group High Score
We run a format where all players play the same games and scores are compared to all other players (high score) but we also assign groups for play for the evening and play multi-player games.
It would be nice to have this as a matchplay format so we don't need to assign and track groups manually outside of the webapp.

Allow export of data subsets
It would be useful to be able to get an export of data from a certain page rather than a dump of everything from the tourney results page- just one player's stats, or scores for a particular game.

Allow tournament export in CSV with header or similar format
JSON export is super handy, but I still need to write my own JSON parsing tools to get some kind of useful/presentable data out of it. It would be really nice to get a dump in a format that is sortable and editable using common spreadsheet tools like excel and google sheets.

Have voided cards persist somewhere after voiding
It would be extremely helpful to have a way to view voided cards after they are voided - for tracking purposes and also as an aid when deleting and re-creating a card due to a game swap.
