  • Version 2.15 Released

    Tournamatch version 2.15 was released on April 30th. This was another large release which updated a variety of UI screens, improved user experience, restored some features, added several new features, and resolved some bugs. In this update, we made another pass at every admin page with the primary focus on making each easy to use…

  • Ladder Ranking Modes

    Tournamatch comes out of the box with three different methods to rank players or teams on a leaderboard. Two common methods available are points and ELO rating, and a unique third method is what I call “Rung-Up”. At this time, only one method may be used at a time, but expect a future update to…

  • Version 2.14 Released

    Tournamatch version 2.14 has been posted. This update adds the ability to independently control visibility and active state of ladder events. It includes minor CSS improvements to blocks on WordPress and bug fixes affecting display names on the loser’s bracket within the administration section. This release also fixes tournament check-ins which were inadvertently broke in…

  • Version 2.13 Released

    Version 2.13 was released earlier this month on February 1st. It was a minor one overall but did add support for one major new feature. Beginning in this version, you may now launch a tournament from the current standings on a ladder. If this is chosen, tournament signups are disabled and replaced with a “Current…

  • Reviewing 2017

    A customer from 2+ years ago reached out to me recently and inquired about his past purchase. He asked, “Is the license still good or does he need to purchase again?” I was happy to reply that his license is still valid and helped him update his information accordingly. I have never charged for upgrades or “expired a…

  • Version 2.12 Released

    Tournamatch version 2.12 is now available. This is a major update and you should back up your tournamatch directory and all “trn_” tables before performing the upgrade. This release caps off a month of development + another of automated testing coverage. The test coverage is what I’m most excited about because it really makes possible…

  • Version 2.11 Released

    Tournamatch version 2.11 was released on November 1st. This version is a minor update which adds the WordPress toolbar to Tournamatch pages; consolidates settings defined in “Manage Addons”, “Manage Language” and the config.php file into one “Manage Settings” page; replaces antiquated pagination code with a newer library which supports bootstrap markup; and adds support for MySQL…

  • Version 2.10 Released

    A new version of Tournamatch (version 2.10) is now available. This is another big one that includes several critical fixes for WordPress. The admin section of Tournamatch has moved into its own administration section separate of the main CMS environment. We also added support for confirming previously reported ladder matches and did some minor reorganization of links…

  • New Admin Support

    The way you authorize administrative users in Tournamatch changed in the version 2.7 release. Before this version, any admin that existed in your main Content Management System (CMS) also had administrative privileges in Tournamatch. PHP-Nuke required a user be a super user and phpBB granted access to anyone with elevated privileges. Neither of these behaviors…

  • Version 2.8 Released

    I am really excited to announce the latest update, version 2.8. It’s a major one that incorporates a lot of work over the last few months. In this update, we replaced the archaic tabled-design with a tableless-responsive design. A new custom.css file is included to modify the look and feel of your website. In addition, we also localized date…
