There’s no one true answer here. The current behavior is that if you close a tournament and the checkbox to close rounds is checked, then rounds will be closed no matter what else is going on. Is that the best behavior? Maybe, maybe not.

As a scorekeeper for that tournament where we had the problem I can still go to the last round and it let’s me tap “Enter Results” for the game that’s still in progress, but after doing it and trying to submit it gives an error that the round is not in progress, so something’s not right. If the round is closed then it shouldn’t allow me to open the Enter Results window.
Like I said earlier it would be better to give an error or warning when a TD tries to close a tournament without all the results in. The tournament in question had something like 27 games going on in the last round, so it was easy to miss and the players in the game were low in the standings, so it was easy to miss those players that had a dot next to their name in the standings.

Alright, lightning round!
Scorekeeper search is exactly the same as user search (on the main search page). The thing to keep in mind is that this searches user profiles and not players. The two may not be the same.
Sounds fun, added to my list. Though you’ll almost certainly want “balanced” and not “random”. No one likes playing the same arena three times in a row because the selection was random 
Ooooh of course!
Sorry, the way results are processed on the server makes this an impossibility. If you want scorekeepers, you have to play something else like Max Match Play
The most requested tournament format. Unfortunately, adding this means that I have to make changes to the player pairing code and that’s one of my least favorite things. Though, I am currently testing the second-most requested tournament format (double elimination brackets, if you want to help test send me your MP profile link) so never say never
This is one of those cases where half the TDs want one thing and half wants the opposite. And doing both is a time suck for me. I see your pain!
I’ve heard this regularly over the past 8 years but there’s never been an actual problem with the algorithm. There’s an audit under Stats → Players where you can see how many repeat arenas were assigned.
You can always hit “Refresh now” if you’re getting impatient. Most of the time the big screen view sits and loads the same unchanged data over and over. Even text message notifications can take up to a minute to arrive. Maybe I could charge a penny every time the big screen view updates and let people choose exactly how often they want it to update

Gotcha! I can just add a new scorekeeper to the tournament and then click their name > View player profile to find their user name to conduct my search. Would it be possible to make players clickable in the main sidebar Players screen so I can view user profiles w/o adding them to the tourney? 
I’m totally down! I would love to conduct everything in MP in the future. Profile # → 8312
I’ll get back to ya.
Is it possible to send a refresh trigger to Big Screen View after a new round is started in basic tourneys? I’m not a seasoned web developer so feel free to tell me how ridiculous an idea that is. 
Thanks for addressing and fixing my other issues. 
My league and TDs will certainly appreciate it

That player profile now has access to double elimination brackets 
Technically yes, but it requires a rather complicated (and expensive) layer of infrastructure. I reevaluate every now and again but so far it has not been worth it
Small update going into the weekend: Bulk update players and arenas. Perhaps most useful for those of you who juggle arena categories often:

Small request from the players at our tournaments here: is it possible to show the number of the round in big screen view?
Had a quick question (I didn’t see this on a search through previous posts so apologies if I missed it!): went on MP this morning to check out planned Yegpin event start times and since the time-zone isn’t displayed had to look up which time-zone Edmonton was in, and was wondering if this was excluded out of design necessity or if it was perhaps just unexpected for non-participants to be trying to get this info from MP? Thanks!
Used Max Match Play format again. It continues to be a hit with both regular and new players.
Question: I had two players show up in the Standings as having played 13 matches (the format was set to play 12 matches), yet clicking on the detail of the two players shows they, in fact, only played 12 matches. Anyone know what causes this? Match Play Events
It was for the players that finished 24th and 27th.
It’s difficult to make decisions on timezones. Most of the time the exact start time only matters to those who are in the same location as the tournament so it’s just noise to display the timezone…
There’s a duplicate result stored in the database for one game. I do my very best to avoid this, but it can happen if someone is particularly skilled at double-clicking (or two scorekeepers get in on the same game at the exact same time). You can see that Emily has one point too many

Thanks! That was one of my theories. The good news is that the actual data and standings are correct – meaning: it didn’t double-count the results (win points) from the duplicate result, correct?
Any chance of a disable/enable all players in the future so I stop crashing matchplay when I try and rapidly click disable on 80+ players?
The bad news is that the standings are not correct. Emily has 3 points in the standings but only won two matches… It’s pretty rare for this situation to happen, but I will revisit the topic and see if there isn’t something to improve.
Dude, scroll up like 7 posts

Ha! I thought that had something to do with bulk adding/removing of players or something. Thanks for all the work on Matchplay dude!

Crud. I was simply looking quickly at the total matches in each player’s stats for that tourney. OK, thanks for letting me know. If this rarity happens again, I’ll know to check the # of wins shown in standings, and make a manual adjustment, if necessary.
Edit: interestingly enough… Chris shows in his Stats as having one instance of a 3rd place finish. 
Is there any rhyme or reason to the order of the matches on the scorekeepers screen?
Could it be alphabetical by the name of the game? When there are a lot of games going on it can be difficult to scroll through and find the one you’re looking for…
It’s the double results. The finishing position on that unfortunate match goes: Emily, Emily, Chris, Chris so the stats code thinks he finished 3rd (but not 4th because it stops looking once it found the player in question)
