2 new dashboard features: latest round jumps over delayed matches and feeds filters

During the latest weeks we’ve revised completely our CSS coding, making it clean, rational and stable. This is a big improvement (though not visible to you), which will allow us to develop the next features much more reliably.

Talking about what you can see, we’ve implemented the most requested feature in our feedback forum: the dashboard now moves forward to the latest round completed, or the next round with at least 1 result. So, it won’t stop anymore to an old round with a delayed match.

We’ve also added feeds filters that will allow you to choose between posts, results or comments. And, as you will notice when your tournament gets to an end, we’ve redesigned the podium and moved it to the right.

Konkuri launches the Groups/Playoffs tournament system!

It’s finally online the most voted feature request in our forum: starting from today you can create and manage Groups/Playoffs tournaments!

It’s the exciting multi-stage competition used by the FIFA World Cup, the Volleyball World Cup and many others.

In Konkuri managing this system is simple and intuitive. As you click on the “Create tournament” button, Konkuri will automatically suggest the group splitting that fits best your competitors number. Then you can add or delete groups, change the participants number for each group, drag and drop participants between groups, and so on.

You can also allocate the full schedule of pairings across the bracket before the start of the tournament For instance, you can make the winner of group A play against the runner-up of group D.

And, as the tournament starts to hot up, Konkuri will place automatically the qualifiers of each group (and eventual repechages) in the brackets, to let you start the final stage.

As usual, with Konkuri is easier to do things than to describe them. Try to believe!

Konkuri agora está no português!

brazil

Our brasileiros friends have become the n°1 community in Konkuri.

To meet the needs of the most colorful country in the world, the main functions of the site have been translated into brazilian portuguese. At the moment, users from Portugal will see the portuguese brazilian language as well.

We encourage you to send us feedback about possible corrections or improvements. With your help, the two translations will be completed sooner.

Have fun and… crie o seu torneio!

Single set, multiple round-robin and chessmate!

The new features we present this week are:

  • single set for all racket sports
  • multiple round-robin for fantasy sports
  • 2 new games in our roster: Chess and Checkers

single set, multiple round-robin, chess, checkers

Indeed, we’re constantly working to improve Konkuri features and satisfy our users needs. These new components will help many of you, included the ones who wrote us to suggest them.

For example Mauro from Italy, who plays Fantasy football: thanks to the multiple round-robin he will be able to follow all the italian football league, even if he plays with few friends. Again, Jason from USA, who organizes a Tennis tournament with 1 set matches. Last but not least, Joseph from the Netherlands, who urged us to insert Chess. From now on it will be possible to create Chess and Checkers round-robin and brackets tournaments with this scoring system: 1 point for a win, 0,5 points for a draw, 0 points for a loss.

Keep on following us and sending us your suggestions. Konkuri was born for you and everyone can contribute to its growth!
