Work with me to improve the messaging and notification aspects of Challonge.
We have a clan and are using the premier version of your software and for the most part it works pretty well, but there is a few things that we are running into while trying to use your system. I do coding as well so i have been playing with coding some solutions but am running into a limitation with the APIs. The area where i see that improvements are needed is for helping the opponents connecting with each other so that they can get the match underway. Since there is not something that is very good in place, it then creates a problem in which someone that is running the tournament has to be directly involved in order to help the match begin and record the results which really slows the whole process down. We are doing tournaments for Call Of Duty Modern Warfare and the important items there would be some way of notifying the players that are competing with their opponents information so that they can connect and get the match round... to begin. I see some of the items that you have created in an attempt to help provide a solution for connecting the players...but the items that are provided do not seem to be of much help. What would be actually ideal would be an sms notification to be sent out at the beginning of each round. The other alternate method would be a notification push to a discord thread that hopefully the users are subscribed to... or an email address so that we could push something out that way. Currently in the API there is not a single item available that relates to messaging a user or pushing any information to a user which seems kind of weird to me because i would think that would have been one of the first things that should have been considered. Please let me know what can be done to help remedy these items, I would be happy to speak to any of your developers if they want to pick my brain a bit about how i think it should flow to make it very much improved. Lets put it this way, if you were to get together with me and we come up with solutions for these items that i am bringing up, i can guarantee you that you would hands down have the best tournament software available. I have come up with a few parts that i think could be integrated with your system such as a custom chat room for each of the matches that are taking place. Only drawback there is that we cant place a link or a button or clickable icon next to the bracket so that the user c ould just click on it to pop open the chat window so that they can begin comminucation with their next opponents.
