Hello Tournament MechWarriors!

The following changes have recently been made to the MWO World Championship page for the competitors:

- Matches can now be uploaded by any Team Member on a team, not just the Team Captains.
- Updated Match Submission success text to reflect that matches will be audited by PGI Staff.
- Added Rank column to the Standings
- Team list now shows whether a Team withdrew or was disqualified
- Added 'Match Restarts' and 'No Shows' to Team's Dashboard

- Added explicit requesting of Off-Schedule Matches by Team Captains from their Dashboard.
See the images below for the steps to Off-Schedule Match Requests.

Sending an Off-Schedule Match Request:






Accepting the Off-Schedule Match:

Once a team has accepted a rescheduled match, where do you review the proposal? Because I scheduled a lot and can't recall what the timing was of one of the accepted requests.

Your rank column is handling ranks incorrectly.

If there are two or more teams tied for the same rank, then the next rank after can't be 1 up from the tied.

Example:
Rank 1: Team A 7 Wins
Rank 2: Team B 6 Wins
Rank 2: Team C 6 Wins
Rank 3: Team D 5 Wins

This is incorrect and should be displayed as

Rank 1: Team A 7 Wins
Rank 2: Team B 6 Wins
Rank 2: Team C 6 Wins
Rank 4: Team D 5 Wins

Rank really needs to be on losses, then wins or at least win %

That too.

I'm certain the first time I experience it, I'll be immediately tired of it.

True that.

all nice and good except that it completely leaves out the fact that if the team leader is unavailable for some time nobody else can not use that tool. so you would need at least a second person having access to the reschedule functionality. Why do you not simply open it up for all team members like you did at last with the posting of results?

otherwise the usefulness is questionable ... it leaves e.g. me as designated match scheduler of PhD completely out of the loop, plus increases the actual workload if we use it because now Iwe have to channel everything from and to the team leader. So we will use this as a last resort mainly if all other methods of contact fail.

Example to make it more clear why this is comletely unsatisfactory with just one person having access to the feature:

• lets say our team leader is away for a week (buisness trip, vacation, hospital, does not matter why)
  
• there is a PGI scheduled game for in lets say 2 days
  
• A.) team members can see there is a reschedule request incoming, but they cannot access it - what happens now?
  
  AND/OR
  B.) we have to reschedule cause we find out that we can only field 7 people for that day, but we cannot access that tool - what happens now? (well at least in this case we do not really need the tool anyways)

1. My question on the ability to see the text shared between the teams still is unanswered.

2. The FAQ and the forums still indicate we need to use the forum thread. Is this still the case?

[El Switchblade]

bump as well .. stil think to make this tool worth using everybody in the team has to be able to use it, exactly like with result posting ...

[Crispy Chicken]

1. The messages sent from a re-schedule request are not stored anywhere at the moment, it's more of a notification method meant to exchange contact information to organize a time that works better for both teams. So you will have to note it down once confirmed with opponent teams, as it will not be tracked on the official schedule or dashboard anywhere.

2. No, you no longer need to use that thread for re-schedules if you use the system in the dashboard.

not judging how useful a tool that does not log/save the msgs sent really is ...WHAT YOU DID STILL NOT ANSWER IS:: are there at elast plans to allow every member of th team to see the msgs exchanged and to send such msgs? because that is what is really needed in case the team captainis not available ... in at least half the teams the captain is NOT or NOT SOLELY handling reschedules ... so that feature can really be considered a must ...

I see my question is more complicated to answer than I thought ... ...

but while you are thinking about the answer to my last question you might as well want to consider an option in the dashboard where you can withdraw your team from the torunament (would prevent that you have to monitor yet annother thread on these forums). oh, and PLEASE make it so that not only the team leader can use that button, ebcause seriously.. what if the team leader is not available? if you want to be extra careful you make it a voting like system and if 4 members (or 5, since even a 12 man would only have 7 left if 5 want to quit) of the team vote for withdrawal then the withdraw is active or something

could it be that the standings part of the dashboard is faulty?

it shows e.g. us (Ph_Dominion) as of augsut 3rd as having played 72 games, and the official schedule lists still 8 games as having to be played (which is the same number my excel sheet shows) ... but 72 pus 8 is 80 .. and it should be 81 matches to play since it has been 82 teams in NA as far as I count them?
