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!

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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

Numbering individual Swiss matches
As a tournament organizer for local CCG tourneys, we've been looking for something a bit more reliable and came across Challonge. After running our tournament using your website, everything worked perfectly but the issue is this:
Is there any way to number the match-ups in the round? This becomes pretty important when most of the people are out of town and have no idea who they're sitting across from (i.e. each match is assigned a 'table')
6 votesPruning our feature request forum and found this. A while back, we started labeling all matches in Challonge with letters, so that should take care of this. Thanks!

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.

Allow picking the winner without score entry
It's not always interesting to track the score of the two competing participants, so being allowed to simply select a winner without entering a score would be useful. If the score boxes are empty don't nag about entering the score but simply use the selected winner.
3 votesThere’s now a bracket option for this: “Quick advance – report winners only, not scores”

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.

Remove score and winner of match.
The ablility to remove the score and winner of a match would be very useful.

Ability to remove the winner from a match after it has been entered.
Have updated scores in real time, but selected a winner of the match by accident. Cannot remove the winner so that the bracket reverts as if the match hadn't finished.
15 votesSorry for not updating here! This was implemented a few weeks ago. The organizer can hover a match and select “Reopen.”

Currently, if you start a Round-Robin tournament with custom scoring system, the table will only show match W-L-T and Score. The game-set won doesn't add anything differently than match Won! What would seperate the people who have the same score is total points scored in games - which the table doesn't show in custom points mode (but shows in total-point-score in game mode). Should be an easy fix!
In short, add Total-Points-Score-In-Game to the table in Custom Points mode in Round-Robin tournament.
9 votesSorry, forgot to update this feature request. A column for total points scored was added a while back.

Auto-Advance Byes
A small feature to add, but if you could automatically advance the matches where a bye is involved, such as sending the current player on to the next round, and then in double elimination, moving the bye directly to the losing round, and when the opponent of the bye is sent down to the losers' bracket, automatically advance that person to the next round as well.
Again, a small feature to add since you can just manually advance someone with a bye.
1 voteByes are already automatically advanced in the brackets we generate. Please let me know if I’m misunderstanding your request.
