Three-player group tournaments
For group match play and group knockout tournaments it would be nice to be able to create three-player groups rather than being forced to always play in four-player groups.

Automatically assign arenas when they become available
When there are more player groups than there are arenas available, groups will often get assigned "no arena". The TD must manually click to assign arenas after a few games, and whether an arena is assigned is sort of a crap shoot. Often, groups can wait unnecessarily long times if a TD forgets to try again at regular intervals. It would be fantastic if matchplay would automatically assign these arenas when they become available.

Add win percentage option for Flip Frenzy standings
vs. most wins. Some people seem to prefer this metric and there are pros and cons to both. Would be nice to be able to choose.

Implement traditional Flip Frenzy rules
1) Winners go back to the queue
2) Losers get another shot on the same game they just lost on unless they have already played two games. This happens regardless of how many games are in the tournament.17 votes -
Add "dark mode" option for viewing matchplay
Add the option to change the background color to black.
Watching bat city finals live streamed with the giant white matchplay standings was a little hard on the eyes. Thanks

Insert country flag from IFPA Profile in Player List
Could be interested for many organizers of tournaments to see from which country players are. It would be great if you could insert the flag for each player.
I announced for example player list for a future tournament.
So in this type of list and also in Standings, would be great if you add country flag from IFPA-Profile. So anyone who is interested can see from where players are.

Create "collections" with players/arenas/banks/etc
Collect players, arenas, banks etc. into a "collection". You can then add this collection to an existing tournament (so the players/arenas/banks are added to the tournament).
This is useful if you are running a league where the same players show up week after week. Or if you often play at the same location and you're tired of adding the same arenas every single time.

Flip Frenzy - Intermission
We'd like to see a way to specify an intermission period during a Flip Frenzy tournament, where the next game is not chosen until the intermission is over. This would keep the average duration stats for each game accurate.

Add special notes to arena (e.g., Play extra balls)
some games may have special instructions, such as to play extra balls, only play on players 1 and 3, etc., EB scores points, etc. It would be nice to push these notes to the arenas so players are aware.

Golf Hole info (Machine and score)
I don’t know how possible this might be, but it would be great if for golf you could assign holes machine names and scores maybe by clicking on the holes or something. This way it keeps a record of this information for future events and does not require storing it off site and losing it haha

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.

In a non-group Knockout tournament, allow for three-player groups instead of byes
We run a four-strikes tournament with head-to-head matches for our league playoffs, and when it's down to just three players, we've manually run a three-player group with the lowest player taking a strike instead of someone getting the bye.
I'd like a Knockout tournament without byes, where there's a single three player group and the TD has the option to have one or two strikes for that group. A TD an always redraw the arena if they end up on an old EM limited to 2 players.

Provide more options to assigning arenas
I've noticed on TILT several people have requested more options for assigning arenas, mainly from a point of view to control crowds and spacing.
Example #1 from Ron - I am running a group matchplay tournament with 40 players and 30 arenas/games for 8 rounds. 2 of the games are upstairs, the other 28 are in the basement. For crowd dispersement purposes, I want the 2 upstairs games to be used every round. Is this doable in the Match Play software?
Example #2 from Chad - I run several tournaments a year at a private home that has games on…

Use Arena Banks during round robin play
Our Head-to-Head league sometimes plays multiple games during a session, and we like to arrange games by theme, average playing time, or dmd/ss/em style.
We have to jury rig the system to make this work and would like to allow banks to simplify the players' experience. Double round robin doesn't help.

Shareable tournament templates
Tournament organizers can save their tournament configurations as "templates" so new tournaments can be created without having to clone existing tournaments.
These templates can also be shared so other organizers can use them!

Arena "Zones"
Create the ability to organize arenas by "zone". We have multiple venues with games in several smaller rooms/areas. There are many rounds that have the majority of the tournament in one room, leaving other rooms empty.
If matchplay could pull balanced arenas based on "zone" the distribution of people would be spread out throughout the venue.
Also, TDs could potentially set "zones" based on the era of game. Theoretically making sure that all types of games are being played each round.
Just an idea I've had.

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 for 4 player PinGolf finals, instead of 8 players being the minimum
If you choose an 8 player bracket, and just have 4 in the finals, matchplay will not start. It gives the message: "You need at least 6 and no more than 8 players to start this tournament."

Improve Player/Arena/Location management
This is primarily to assist tournament organizers with many players, arenas and locations.
Could be something like:
- Separate retired and active players/arena/locations
- Make it possible to create new players/arena/locations from the global level
- Make it possible to type to filter the lists in order to find individuals faster
