Feedback on the new tournament formats (新しい大会機能に対するフィードバック)

[Honey-Mint]

[EN] This is my first time posting an issue. I tried out the new tournament formats on my YouTube Live, I feel fantastic.

Now, I noticed a few things while using it, so I note them here.

• Currently, for both Arena and Organized tournaments, when two or more players have the same number of points, the tournament performance is "the tie break". But what exactly is this tie break? Is it the rating within the tournament? Or the match results between the tied players? Writing the specifics would help participants understand better.

• In Professional Mode, some players mentioned that “the piece guides covering the entire board are distracting.” I guess it should be possible to turn these guides off such as the Premoves.

• When creating a tournament, if the duration is too short, it says “needs to come ‘at least’ 20 minutes,” but strictly speaking, we can't create one for exactly 20 minutes.

Thank you for the excellent update.

[JA] 初めてissueを投稿します。 自身のYouTube Liveにて新しい大会機能を試しに使いましたが、とても素晴らしいものでした。

さて、触ってみて気づいた点があるのでここに書きます。

• 現状アリーナと運営型では、同点時に"タイブレーク"で決定されると表記されています。しかし、タイブレークとは何なのでしょうか。大会内でのレーティング？それとも同点者同士のマッチング成績？内訳を具体的に説明できると参加者が納得しやすいと思います。

• プロフェッショナルモード時に「駒のガイドが常に盤面全てになっていて気が散る」という声がありました。プリムーブと同じくこのガイドはoffでもいいのではないかと思います。

• 大会を作成するときに大会期間が短すぎると「needs to come "at least" 20 minutes」と出ますが、厳密には20分ちょうどでも作成できません。

素晴らしいアップデートをありがとうございます。

Thank you for the feedback!

Currently, for both Arena and Organized tournaments, when two or more players have the same number of points, the tournament performance is "the tie break". But what exactly is this tie break?

Oh, seems that tournament performance is not correctly set in organized tournaments, thanks for making me aware of this - will fix soon. Tournament performance is based on the rating of opponents you defeated - if both players have the same points, the one who defeated opponents with higher ratings gets the win, I will put it into FAQ. But since this is not getting calculated for organized tournaments - the player with higher rating will win the tie break right now.

BUT tournament performance also doesn't seem like the best option for organized tournaments. I'm open to ideas, maybe just the rating like it's now isn't so bad, we could also go by join order like in round robin.

In Professional Mode, some players mentioned that “the piece guides covering the entire board are distracting.” I guess it should be possible to turn these guides off such as the Premoves.

Agreed, but having an option specifically for professional mode might be too much. Having too many options becomes quickly overwhelming. The reason I decided to show all squares as highlighted is to prevent accidental moves, when players just want to unselect a piece. I also wanted to make it clear that something is different - users can have pro mode games and non pro mode games mixed in "Playing right now" (since corres tours are allowed now). But maybe having it like this would be nicer - highlights visible only on hover:

Maybe also make the selected square a different color, to make it obvious that players need to be careful:

When creating a tournament, if the duration is too short, it says “needs to come ‘at least’ 20 minutes,” but strictly speaking, we can't create one for exactly 20 minutes.

Thanks, I will fix that, I will also loosen the conditions a bit more.
