Max MP uses different arena assignment code than regular match play tournaments so I have to implement the “preferred arena” feature separately for Max MP tournaments… and I just haven’t done that.
I’ll look at the big screen view. Something probably changed when I switch to instant updates
I spoke too soon, by chance I looked at the account settings and there’s an option for “compact matches”. I turned that off and it seems I have the big screen finals back! Great feature
@haugstrup I’d like to use matchplay for registration for an upcoming tournament, love the functionality in the system for it. There’s a warning at the bottom about not using if you expect a rush. How many concurrent players would constitute a rush? I’ll have max 100 players and for this event, usually about 20-30 people are right on time and then it slowly fills up after that over multiple days - would that be reasonable to use matchplay for the registrations? It’d be soooo much easier than eventbrite for free registration. Thanks!
What are your hangups with Eventbrite? I use it all the time and have been since 2018 and it works great for me. You can export data out too.
As long as your event isn’t one of these “sell out in two minutes” kind of events you should be fine!
doesn’t tickettailor do free registration too?
Yep, Eventbrite is free for free registration too, but I really like the idea of the registration being in matchplay and since it can handle open date/time, wait list, logging payment, and checking people in as they arrive, it seems like matchplay will save me time and steps over the other tools 
This was a good reminder to do a little polish on the registration list. I added a filter button, click it and you can filter the list of registrations by name (type part of a name), the checked in status and the paid status.
Hi. I’m curious whether data on all tournaments in Match Play can be pulled via API. I’d be looking for a list of games used in all tournaments, or if too many results, maybe applying some filter to reduce the number of tournaments in the results. I’m not too familiar with using APIs, but I did look at the API instruction page and it seemed you could query arenas that you created, or perhaps even put a list of IDs in, but not sure if doing all or a subset of all is possible. Thanks!
All tournament data is available via the API, but there are over 100,000 of them and pulling all that data down is… not recommended (that’s a nice way of saying: don’t do it). There are several filters available so you can target the subset of tournaments that are relevant to you.
I don’t quite understand what it is you’re wanting to do though.
I’d just like to pull some data on games used in tournaments to get an idea which games are used how often. I’ll play around with the API using various filters to make sure I don’t try to pull too large a data set. Thanks
edit: I was able to pull my own arena data - is there a way to pull arena data not owned?
Got a bug where the big screen view stops working after a while with a message saying something about the user not having a premium subscription. Happend to other people as well this week
Thank you for letting me know. I found a bug with the way the premium status of the tournament organizer was being checked. I think it’s all fixed now
Thanks, appreciate it
Fellow MatchPlay TD/users: what’s your feedback on using the “Use improved algorithm” option for starting each round?
Does it work well?
Any known issues to be aware of?
Honestly not familiar with it. What is it supposed to do?
In matchplay can I choose the number of players eliminated per round?
For example
R1
4- 3 player groups w/ 1 player eliminated per group
R2
2- 4 player groups w/ 2 players eliminated per group
What tournament format? In a group elimination bracket: No, it’s always four player groups and two players eliminated per round.
Matchplay, 3 games per round.
We start with 12 players so if we played 3 groups of 4 we would have 6 players after round 1.
Trying to get down to 2 groups of 8 for round 2.
