Tournament

Enjoy, Amy ;)

It's still a work in progress, and there are many bugs. But I'm putting all my energy in fixing them and adding more features! Stay tuned
When you create a tournament you are able to change clock time and clock increment for all games. Also you are able to select number of players in the tournament. But I don't understand what's the idea of the duration field? Because when you create a tournament either each player should play with each player, or players could play the tournament using swiss-system. I think number of rounds would be better field than duration.
If the tournaments were based off of the number of rounds, people could just not play and hold up the tournament forever. If you want, you can make a simple calculation (total time/time of each game) to find out how many possible rounds there are.
First sorry about my bad english, perhaps I was not understood right :)

If we have for example a tournament with 3 rounds for 4 players and each player plays against all opponents and games are set to 5 minutes per game, then first round will begin when 4 persons join the tournament. Second round will start right after the first round has finished and third round will start after the second round. That was my idea in general.
Your english is not bad.

Yes, I understand that was your idea. What if a participant in the tournament left the tournament page? Then, you would be left waiting for them to come back and you would not be playing games in the mean time.
someonesomewhere this is not a problem. You can check chesscube.com, there if you leave the tournament, your opponents will get the points because they were supposed to play with the left person
