Software Improvements/Features in 2024
(Not included: minor tweaks, back-end changes, or things I forgot I added.)

January

  • Improved sortability/data integrity feaures on school management page.
  • Converted Event Instructor Bios to WYSISYG instead of flat html.
  • Improved options for considering a 'white card' as a prior penalty or not.
  • Added option to show who has priority based on the last exchange.

February

  • Added an "Other" option for tournament check in. This can be used if there is anything else an event organizer wants to denote about a tournament's participants. The tournament options also allow for the name to display with an asterix if "Other" is selcted on that fighter.
  • Added ability to manually sort tournament locations, instead of the default alphabetical sorting.
  • Added FAQ feature, which will show up as a separate menu item if questions are populated by the event organizer.
  • Added new page to see the full staff schedule.
  • Added new page to see all tournaments that have been run, and filter by weapon.
  • Added support for running a continuous clock when using the grid-score input mode.

April

  • Go go April Fools Character Class page
  • Added new utility for helping to combine duplicate fighters (since people kept finding them looking for their character class)
