Problems creating Tournament

Sort:
Avatar of checkmate_kate

The Create New Tournament page just reloads after I press the create button. There is no error message telling me that a field is empty or incorrect. The only thing that changes is that my custom trophies disappear and have to be re-uploaded. What am I doing wrong?

What parameters are you using?

I've tried various mixtures with the same problem.

I found the problem. With group size of only 4 you need to only allow 1 or maybe 2 people to advance. Not 3. 

 

Or you can make the groups bigger.

Isn't the rule a max of half the group size, rounded down?

That sounds good to me  I am not sure the rule exactly, but that sounds right and confirms to what I got from my experiments.

We need a better error message. I will ticket.

Ok I got a tournament registered by following that rule. Thank you.

But it is not showing up when I search the list of tournaments... Could I have done something else wrong?

Avatar of jdcannon

What did you end up naming the event? I will take a look.

I was able to find it: https://www.chess.com/tournament/baby-steps-beginner-lt-600-mini-tournament

 

I think its out there

Avatar of checkmate_kate

ok thanks. it's still missing from my search results... for some reason? i guess that doesn't matter, it just seems weird.




Avatar of jdcannon

I think because you set it to only allow those under 600. You are over 700 so don't see tournaments you can't join. 

Avatar of checkmate_kate

ooooooooooh that makes sense. that's a good feature actually.

thanks for all your help. happy.png

Has anyone had problems uploading custom trophies. I'm trying to upload mine, but they won't upload, just keeps switching back to blank.

Make sure the images aren't too large in file size or dimensions and are jpg or png (gif might also work)
