Let me enter partial results without immediate live posting - use a HOLD to Publish button
Something I've found that would be helpful to me is the ability to enter partial results and have them held until the missing score is known.
With the covid-19 outbreak upon us, we hold virtual tournaments where each player plays within a 24 hour window. Their matches are streamed to facebook
and played whenever they find the time. The scores come in at varying
intervals and through not only facebook posts, but text messaging, email, and Messenger messages.
As the TD, I'd like to be able to enter scores as they come in, but not have them "go live" until all scores are in and I want to publish the results.
Currently if I enter the score of only one player in a 2 player match the
other player shows as a 0 and the results go live.
If there was a button in the Settings screen that said "Do you want to Hold
Scores for future publishing" I think that would do the trick. Then when I
entered just one score a popup could ask if I wanted to wait for the second
score before publishing. If this were the case, I could enter all scores as
I receive them and elect to publish them when I'm ready. Another advantage
of a HOLD SCORES feature is when I have a Double Elimination tourney, after
the second round the winners have to wait a day while the losers catch up.
By holding the winners' scores I can release all matches at the time I'd
like to avoid confusion of who plays when in which round.
Thanks in advance for considering this. As I'm learning your system I like
it more and more.
