Show links to Sign Up during check-in periods
Really REALLY love the new check-in feature. Previously I had been trying to manage a similar style of check-ins with 100+ people for online tournaments, and this makes everything a BREEZE now.
The only issue is that currently, during the check-in period, you're no longer able to sign up for the tournament from the front page of the bracket. I have to go into my settings, find the signup sheet, and have them sign up from that page.
I generally post the bracket link for signups because they're smaller, and include rules descriptions etc.

Thanks for the reminder on this, and glad to hear the check-in feature has been helpful! I'll queue this up and expect we'll be able to tackle it quickly.

Having used the check-in feature extensively since it was an available feature, I am now more sure than ever that this is a really needed and hopefully easy change - I find myself unsure of how long to set the check-in period for because players cannot easily sign up for the tournament during the check-in period.
The longer the check-in period, the more time you give participants for checking in and making sure everyone is present. But the longer the period, the less time for last minute entries there are.
