New tournament format: Target Match Play
This is the qualification format used at "Pinball at the lake". The tournament organizer sets a target number of points. Players play a regular match play tournament, but when a player reaches the target score they are considered "qualified" and will be removed from subsequent rounds.

Preferred machines (for streaming)
Hi.
We are pinball tournament streamers (JDL PINBALL) and would love to have a feature where particular machines (with our streaming rigs on) could be given priority in the selection for each round. This would prevent qualification rounds where neither of our rigs are set-up.By the way, Matchplay is awesome, we use it for just about all of our tournaments here in Germany.
Cheers!
Jim23 votesThis feature is now available in the new version of Match Play. You can mark one or more machines as being preferred and they'll be assigned to a group in every round.

Allow players to submit golf scores
Adding a feature where players can submit pingolf scores directly from their phones. This is in line with other tournament formats where players can submit their own scores. This would be very helpful for the pinmasters format.

"Clone" tournament should set date to today
When using the "clone" tournament on an existing tournament, 99% of the time you're doing it to create a new tournament for today. The tournament date should be set to today, not the original tournament's date.

Add "Games played" column to best game format standings page
When playing a limited qualifier 'best game' format a lot of people have trouble figuring out how many games they have left to play.
Other issues are not knowing what position they are in based on scores around them since a lot of players wait until the last minute to put in their final game
Currently the only way to do it for players and TDs is to go into each profile on the standings page and count the number of games played manually.
If there is a simple column on the standings page with a number of games counted…

Allow "big screen view" to be displayed when not signed in
The Big screen view is inaccessible if you are not logged in as the tournament director.
Often the streaming/projecting PC is not logged in, so it would be helpful if this page was always visible, similar to the Broadcast view.
For example, see:

Allow scorekeepers to approve submitted results and post photos in Best Game format.
Currently on best game format, only the tournament director can approve submitted results.
Also scorekeepers can't upload pictures with the scores that they are entering.Scorekeepers sometimes witness the games and would like to upload a picture if needed so that ability would be great.
Tournament directors can't be everywhere at once so giving the additional scorekeepers the ability to approve submitted results would be very beneficial.

Limit # of players that can register for a tournament and/or display registrations chronologically
I run two weekly tournaments that are limited to 24 players. Players are able to register themselves.
Would be helpful if I could limit the # of players that can register to 24.
Might even work better if there was no limit, but I could view the player list by the order in which players were registered. This way, I could essentially have a waiting list of sorts.

Flip Frenzy - Minus 5 mins option
Currently there is an option to add 5 mins, however if you start a Flip Frenzy with the wrong time there is no option to adjust backwards! We started one at 3 hours instead of 2.5 hours, and needed to manually stop the clock and deactivate players at the 2.5 hour time. Would be good to add a "Minus 5 min" button next to the "Add 5 min" button

Let TDs create and remove groups at will
This is useful if players show up late and the TD needs to re-arrange groups. Or when playing a tournament format like Critical Hit where groups may need to be moved around a lot.

In a series, allow "Keep best N results" in addition to option of dropping "worst N results"
When creating a tournament series, I would very much like the option to keep the best N results in addition to the option of dropping the worst N results. For example, I'd like the option to keep the best 2 results. The only workaround for this does not behave in the desired way.
Choosing "drop worst two" results causes the series rankings to be nonsensical until at least three results have been logged. Whereas, "keep best two" would rank according to the first result after the first result is entered and according to the best two results after the second…
5 votesThe ability to "keep best" results rather than "drop worst" in a series is now available in Match Play NEXT version.

Delete a planned tournament
If I have a planned tournament I should be allowed to delete it since no statistics will be lost. If I accidentally clone the wrong tourney I can't delete it. I should be able to.

Allow tournament configuration after tournament start for Test tournaments
Tournament configuration should not be locked at any time for test tournaments. Right now if I want to change a parameter or try some different things I have to manually re-enter all test data every time.

Best game: Let TD disable queueing system

Show points in playoffs next to player finish
While I'm running playoffs I use the PAPA scoring system of 4/2/1/0 across 3 games per round. I enter the results in on the computer, but the point totals aren't visible from that screen, or the big screen view. I don't necessarily think that a total points section needs to be added, but perhaps a number in the corner after the place they came in on for each game so people can do slightly less math as they figure out where they stand between games 1 and 2.
