Embedding of tournament standings
Hi All,
First of all, I love the fact that tournament brackets embedable in external sites.
However my question is: is it possible to embed only the standings of a tournament. I'm aware that you can add them to the bottom of an embedded bracket. But it would be great if I could embed them separately as well.
Cheers,
1 voteThe tournament embed now supports a standings tab for all tournament types. The “show_standings=1” option enables it, and if you want it to be the starting tab, use “tab=standings”

Shipped at last! We’ll follow up later with API support and alternatives to Round Robin for the group stage.

Double Round Robin.
Simple really, why is there no double round robin option? I found another website that has double round robin, but is not like Challonge, and i would rather stay on Challonge, I just like the way it is run, and can be run. The idea is so participants play each other at least twice, instead of once. It would be more interesting for madden brackets.

Match attachments are now accessible through the API. Let me know if you’d like to see any changes to this, and sorry, we’re still lacking sample API responses in our docs!

allow "text attachments" to games
Because instead of attaching replay files to a match, we could just click on a link to http://ggtracker.com where we can see analysis and download the replays ourselves if we wanted to.
I really love Challonge.com by the way! Keep up the good work guys!

Soccer/Football Points system
Dear Challonge
It is a pleasure to contact you as a very happy recent starter of your Challonge system. I just wanted to pass on my thanks as I have used it to Admin 2 very large recent LANs in the UK (ECL and i40) for FIFA 10 tournaments.
You can see an example of how I have integrated the system in with our site @ http://www.sweetpatch.tv/index.cfm?articleid=6327 and http://www.sweetpatch.tv/index.cfm?articleid=6422
The success of these events resulted in a number of colleagues contacting me about the system we used as they wanted to start using it.
One question/request is that as we…

Taking back a removed player
Once a player is removed from participants after the tournament started, the action cannot be taken back. Would it be possible to "undo" such action?
1 voteRemoved participants can now be reactivated. This won’t undo the forfeiting of the participant’s matches, but that can be done separately from the bracket view.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Upload starcraft 2 replay files
Be able to upload starcraft2 replay files (.SC2Replay) about 200KB / file. Less if .rar/.zip.
Preferable to bind the files to some games also so that when i click a game i come to a page with all replays, comments and so on

Add Completed Tournaments to Organization
I think organizations would benefit greatly if organizers were given the opportunity to connect completed, previously unconnected tournaments to their organization. As of right now, if an organizer starts a tournament separate from an organization, there is no way to fix this at any point after the creation of the event.
I have hosted multiple tournaments in somewhat of a "series," and for organizational purposes, it would be convenient to have them all grouped in the same organization. The first two of these tournaments are separated because I was not aware of the organization feature at the time (it may…
3 votesHello,
This is already possible. A user who organized a tournament as an individual can change its host to an organization they belong to (from a tournament’s settings page). Note – this will change the tournament’s URL to include the org’s subdomain.
Let us know if we’re missing something or if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Edit player names who have registered
It's kind of annoying as a tourney admin when someone with a challonge account no-shows and I can't edit their name on my brackets. I often have back-ups waiting to play and when they have to replace a no-show who has registered on the site their name cannot be added to the bracket in that person's place. It would be really helpful if this was changed.
4 votesadmins can now sub new people in for registered participants after challonges are published (including after they’re started)

Allow team tournaments
We use Challonge several times a year for several tournaments during our regional LAN parties. Not having a way for us to add teams (rather than individuals) to a tournament can be troublesome for us.
Current Process:
-- Post sign up link
-- Ask everyone to form their teams, and sign up with a single team name, and a single email notificationBetter Process:
-- Post sign up link
-- Allow people to sign up and either (a) create a new team, or (b) join an existing team
-- If joining an existing team, the team captain will receive an…69 votesMarking this completed, but we’ll continue to make improvements to this feature. In particular, inviting a team member without a Challonge account by email and viewing team members on hover in the bracket.

Provide JSON Exports of Completed Brackets
It would be sweet if brackets could be exported to JSON. It would provide tournament organizers a quick and convenient way to submit a completed bracket to an automated system for things such as data-mining, season-long record keeping/scoring, etc.
3 votesThis is currently possible with our API. After getting a key from your account settings, you can request JSON or XML for your tournament, including its matches and participants:
API documentation can be found at http://challonge.com/api
Hope this works for you!

Allow voting for each match in a challonge
Allow Challonge users to vote once per match in tournaments and display the current vote counts. The organizer would then be able to advance players based on # of votes.
This would be useful for tournaments that don't involve actual physical competition (best beer tournament, celebrity tournaments, etc.)
7 votesMore voting stats to be added soon, but this has been available for a few weeks. Might add voting by text message as well (paid feature)

Make Fantasy Brackets
I would like to see people make their own predictions on an entire bracket, not jut vote for the one match at a time, and give points based on each correct selection. Person with most picks correct wins!

Option for only the Host of the tournament to send emails to participants
I am hosting a tournament where I had 99 Participants. One of the participants sent bulk messages (approximately 15 messages) to all other participants promoting her games page through our tournament. The messages also asked people for their User Names, email address and passwords so she can sign up for them.
I spoke with another games page administrator who confirmed this same person did the same thing to his page.
It would be ideal if we have an option that only the host of the tournament can send emails to participants, this would prevent people spamming other players.

Permissions improvement
Let people inserted as Admin in the "Share admin access to this tournament" option finally able to start and finish the tournament!
It's sad that if I create the tour but I'm not at home in the date fixed, I have to tell my password to people in order not to restart/redo the whole bracket thing.

Move the advertisements to a less predominant portion of the pages.
For example the advertising banner is on the page above the bracket view. I am sure you could find a better way to get that advertising in without getting in the way of such an important feature.
I love your guys work BTW.

Moving individual players on the preview screen
In a lot of the tournaments we run, we will try and "rig" the tournament so that players who normally practice against each other, or play each other frequently, don't have to be matched up. (Allow for new competition, etc.)
Something that would make this really easy, is that after the seeding process is done and you get to view the preview; if you could just drag and drop players to different spots. This would allow you to resolve the situation I previously described, as well as still see the seeds and make it fair.
