@genex Well, that’s annoying! Email me a link to the tournament. I want to poke a bit at the data…
Minor feature request:
Ability for players to void or edit submitted, but not yet (verified|confirmed|whatevertheappropriatetermis) ‘selfie’ submissions.
I have a really bad habit of fat-fingering score entries or submitting scores for the wrong game, so it would be nice to have the ability to edit submissions before they are confirmed.

Two things you can do/know:
-
you can just submit the score correctly afterwards and as someone who runs a lot of selfie leagues it’s not a big deal if I see that a corrected submission is already uploaded then I’ll just delete the wrong one and approve the correct one
-
if the score submitted is fat fingered but on the correct game, administrators can manually adjust the score to be correct but that doesn’t address your issue if you submit the score for the wrong machine (but for that see #1 above).

I agree and I will make that possible at some point. I’ve been playing a waiting game to see if selfie leagues would disappear with the new WPPR rules, but it doesn’t look that way so I really have no excuses anymore.

Oh one thing for the selfie scoring approvals is often people submit a game for the wrong arena. It’d be great to be able to change the arena that the score is for on the back end. Often I have no way to contact people about a game submitted wrong whereas a score that’s fat fingered, I can adjust the score on the back end but not the actual machine. Thx!

Hi @haugstrup, I am wondering if I could make a request for a Best Game scoring scheme based on Decay Rate, inspired in part by Bowen’s commentary on Decay Rates in the PAPA Scoring Schemes post. We’ve used a modified version of a 90% decay in some of the best game tournaments that we’ve hosted, and I’m hoping that a similar scale can be accommodated in Match Play.
I’m looking for a 90% decay, and I’ve made a spreadsheet that includes 80/85/90/95 decay rates. I’m not looking for partial points, but rather the values listed in the Rounded Points column.
Is something like this possible? Thank you in advance!
@coreyhulse I can add a new Best Game scoring option for you no problem. Are you using the values from the 90% rounded points column? (there’s some manual labor involved and I only want to add scoring systems in actual use)
Odd thing I’m seeing. Figured I’d post here instead of directly bugging you and seeing if others have the issue.
My players list is extensively long. Along with games list. Going through trying to clean up some players/fix IFPA names and numbers and I noticed that my list isn’t complete. I get to I think the end of the S’s and then a few that have lower case letters to start(Since it sorts those differently for some reason) And then no more names. None of my T players on. They show up when I’m entering names on tournaments but not on my general TD account page. Would love to start deleting and not just retiring players/games. Many duplicates now and mis spellings and games I know will never come back for us

@JSwain: You have more players than anyone else using Match Play. It’s quite likely that I put some limit in that I since forgot about. I’m guessing you’re seeing maybe 500 players and nothing after that. Let me take a look tonight or tomorrow morning and see if there isn’t a limit there.
More and more TDs are hurting because they have more players and arenas than I anticipated when I created MP two years ago. It’s very high on my list to get the player and arena interaction redesigned so it’s easier to deal with large amounts of players and arenas.

Interesting. NEPL has 250 players. Finals has been up to 160 at its highest. Capping finals at 96 this weekend. Our weekly knockouts are drawing in50+ on a monday night. With at least 5 or so new faces every week. Final battle is another 100 players with some NEPL overlap. I bet if I could delete player from my account I could clean it up to the possible 500 cap you might have.
Glad your having this problem! When I was working with you and you were kinda beta testing this with our spring open we did after our first final battle we were only around 40 players or so!
Unfortunately with Pin Wiz likely closing that is a VERY large chunk of games I can cross off my matchplay account. Definitely some overlap between us and there so not all will be cleared out. Still need about 50 games listed for us here.
Hopefully we cross paths this year at pinburgh. I still owe you a drink for all this. Most events I’ve run wouldn’t be so smooth without Match Play.

There was indeed an arbitrary limit of 500 players shown on that page. You have 552 players. I’ve increased the limit to 1000 so you should be good for another couple of years.
Hit reload in your browser and you should be good to go!

Sweet! Now let me delete people Feels good to be able to clean up my account. Its getting messy!
Yes, we’ll be using from the 90% rounded column. Thank you!
Here’s a photo of the screen I display at my tournaments during qualifying. 8 windows open showing overall leaderboard and leaderboards for7 arenas. It takes up a lot of my time individually refreshing all 8 windows every couple of minutes. We only have 20-30 players so we don’t use queues, however in best game format everyone likes to gather round the screen to see how they are fairing, chat about it and make decisions. When you do the upgrade to the big screen view it would be awesome if queues could optionally be replaced with individual arena leaderboards (and scroll thru all machines).

@onetaste this is super useful for me to see. It basically tells me what the revamped big screen view should look like.
I can save you a bit of time already though because the Match Play live pages can auto refresh.
Take a regular scores page like this:
Add &refresh=60 to the end of it like this:
Now the browser will automatically refresh every 60 seconds.
It also works with the standings page. Take this:
And turn it into (note that we use a ? here because there isn’t one already):

@coreyhulse Give your browser a reload and you should see a “90% decay” option when creating a best game tournament.
Place for people to request and vote on features?
Since it’ll cost me $30 to send out a newsletter these days I thought I would gauge interest here first. Would anyone be interested in a place where Match Play users can:
- See list of features considered for development
- Request new features
- Vote on suggested features
This would not be a place to report bugs or problems with Match Play. Only a place for new stuff.
I ask because I spend quite a bit of time responding to the same feature requests and though it would be nice to have a public page to send people to. The voting would also help me gauge interest so I spend my time on the stuff that people care about.
At the same time I would also have to spend some time setting up this new site (using http://uservoice.com most likely) and people would be required to create a uservoice.com user account.
Opinions, suggestions? “Likes” on this post will be interpreted as “yes, I would like to see such a thing”

Special preview of the place where you can suggest features and vote on the suggestions: https://matchplay.uservoice.com/
I’ve taken the liberty of adding the suggestions I hear the most often and some of the ideas I’m most excited about.
I’ll start promoting this in wider circles soon, but thought I’d give everyone here a head start. Head over to https://matchplay.uservoice.com/ to get started!
