Fixed bugs: registration e-mail + home/away
During these days, we’re fixing some bugs that have been reported. The two most important were:
- The 30 characters limit in the registration email that has caused problems to some users. Now, you can use email addresses up to 75 characters long, which should be enough;
- The home/away distribution when generating the schedule. Now they’re perfectly balanced (same number of home/away) and alternated (never more than 2 home or 2 away following).

New feature: odd number of participants!
Finally, after so many requests, you can now create tournaments with odd number of participants.
In round-robin, there will be 1 competitor resting at every round. Whereas, in brackets there will be some competitors that will have a harder life than others! ;-)
Just put the effective number of players or teams and Konkuri will do the rest of the work for you.
Have fun!

One awesome app begging to be developed
A few days ago, ReadWriteWeb published a very interesting article: “6 Awesome Apps Begging to Be Developed”.
Guess what? The #1 application is: “Real-Time Mobile & Web Sports App”.
They say: “somebody needs to create an agnostic web and mobile application to deliver real-time data.
And then “Sports fans need up-to-the-instant scores, game developments, news on teams and players, and stats relating to fantasy league play”.
This is music to our ears. And, it sounds very familiar to some features we have in mind for Konkuri.
Matteo wrote a comment on the post, with a brief presentation of our project and philosophy.

A smart league management approach
Our philosophy is: tournament management must be simple. That’s why in Konkuri the “Create tournament” form will generate directly the league site, that you can both manage and share with friends. Simple, isn’t it? However, reaching such an approach has not been obvious at all.
This way of league management was born just a couple of months ago. In our first prototypes, the “Create tournament” button led you to the administration backend, not to the tournament site. From the backend, you edited the content and had to go to the frontend to see it published, like in the typical WordPress or Blogger administration.
But, unlike a blog, managing a tournament doesn’t require many drafts. Most of the time, you want to enter the scores and see the table updates. That’s it. So, we have decided to merge backend and frontend into a dynamic interface with contextual administration links, visible only by the tournament administrator.
We have used and tested both versions and, believe us, this second one is so much smarter! You will enjoy it a lot.
