The 30 days thing is just there. When you hit that mark, you'll just have to wait an exceedingly long amount of time before you can use it.

mIRC is overrated

ChiboSempai · Mar 11th, 2009, 3:03:13 PM

While I'll admit that I haven't tried this as I don't use mIRC (and judging by the description), Tio Tournament Organizer is really second to none for a tournament organizer program. It's mentioned briefly in the how to run tournaments thread here, but I figured it also deserves a mention here as an alternative.

Mekkah, I am missing something here, I have 64 participants but its telling me 33 matchups?

~~Olie~~ · May 14th, 2009, 8:45:37 PM

okay... I love how tim's bracketmaker looks, but unfortunately, it won't let me select more than 4 participants. I tried cicking the "8" circle for example, but it still only showed 4 participants.

Does any one know what's wrong here?

Blue Kirby · May 14th, 2009, 8:51:44 PM

What browser are you using? It works fine for me in Firefox.

~~Olie~~ · May 14th, 2009, 8:55:16 PM

My browser is Internet Explorer 7.0

Kevin Garrett · May 14th, 2009, 8:58:38 PM

I use it on Internet Explorer too. Do you refresh the page after you click the number you want?

~~Olie~~ · May 14th, 2009, 9:00:29 PM

lol I guess all I had to do was refresh then.
Thanks guys.

Olie, are you planning on hosting another tournament? :O

I really don't know why IE makes it so you have to refresh... that defeats the whole point of Javascript coolness. I'll have a look at it sometime soon and get rid of some of the other bugs (try calculating with 32 players then trying with 16) at the same time.

I've done some more work on the bracketmaker recently, it is now

# faster (no more timeouts in firefox)
# works as expected in all versions of Internet Explorer
# has less bugs
# gives byes automatically if you have a few less players than required

You can access the new version on the link above.

darkie · May 31st, 2009, 12:23:29 PM

I'll update the OP.

Cool, thanks Tim. <Insert Round of Applause>

looks great, thanks kindly Tim!

Firefox warned me of malware and suspicious activity when I clicked Tim's Bracket Maker. I can take a screenshot if no one believes me.

I got this warning as well. I still trust it though.

timw06 · Jun 12th, 2009, 10:47:55 AM

@RB Golbat and kuja20: This problem is caused by the fact that Dropbox is a large publicly accessible file storage site with no restrictions on what can be uploaded, and some idiots have been using it to distribute malware. The service itself is totally legit but evidently some of the 1.5 million users are morons.

I noticed it, and I just wanted to double check I can continue to use it like I usually do. I am very fond of Tim's bracketmaker, and would be a shame to stop using it.

@Tim: That's a relief, I was always sure there was nothing wrong with the coding, I was unsure of the server you were uploading to, but thats all fine now. I can happily re-bookmark that page, and in all honesty its an amazing bracketmaker, so nice work on that!

Mailbox · Aug 22nd, 2009, 5:31:36 PM

Nice work, but I would just use Upper Deck Entertainment's MANTIS program. It is used for the World of Warcraft TCG and CMG and used to be used for Yugioh. Its a pretty in-depth program that allows for swiss rounds, cuts to top 8, and single/double elimination. It is very good for managing large numbers of players.

Hmm... Just a comment, but the link for the in-browser bracket maker is broken.

Yeah, this happens for me too. Which Browser are you using? I use Google Chrome and get the error, however, this link still works in Google Chrome:
