v1.16
Oct 26, 2026
New

A cleaner, calmer tournament page

The public tournament page gets a streamlined header, one-tap sharing, a compact division switcher, and champion announcements that always show in full.

WebsiteDesignMobile
  • A tidier header: one clear status badge, match info right under the title, and your quick actions — style, export image, add to calendar, share — lined up as a single row of light icons.
  • Sharing in one tap: the row of social icons made way for a single share button that opens a compact sheet with your link and every channel.
  • Division switching that stays out of the way: on phones the division list collapses into one small dropdown, so the page stays short no matter how many divisions you run.
  • Champion announcements in full: the winner banner no longer cuts off — the whole congratulation is always on show.
  • Full event details one tap away: tap the venue line to open complete details — organizer, date, venue and description.
v1.15
Oct 26, 2026

Pages that open in a blink

Public tournament pages and the whole site now open several times faster, and share links hold up when a crowd clicks at once.

WebsitePerformance
  • Public pages, dramatically faster: tournament pages, league standings, and site pages now reuse a freshly rendered copy at the edge for a few seconds — the first visitor warms the path and everyone right behind them gets an instant open, instead of a one-second-plus server round trip on every click.
  • Share links that survive the crowd: when a tournament link spreads through a group chat, everyone tapping it in the same moment now gets the page just as fast as the first person did.
  • Snappier repeat visits: your browser can briefly reuse the page shell between clicks, so moving around the site feels instant — most noticeable on mobile connections.
v1.13
Oct 25, 2026

Clearer consent, more honest pricing

A terms checkbox at sign-up, auto-renewal disclosures where you buy, a privacy policy that tells the whole story, and language prompts that know when to be quiet.

Trust & compliancePricingMobileAPI
  • Consent you actually give: sign-up now asks you to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy with a clear checkbox before creating an account — social sign-in shows an equivalent notice — and the pricing page states each subscription's auto-renewal terms and how to cancel right below the button.
  • A privacy policy that tells the whole story: the privacy policy and cookie notice now also disclose the consent-based session-recording and heatmap analytics we run (input fields are masked) alongside the cookieless page-view counting.
  • Language prompts that know when to be quiet: the "switch language" suggestion only appears when it genuinely helps — once you've explicitly picked a language it never asks again, and dismissing it stays quiet for 7 days. The mobile header sheets got slimmer while we were at it.
  • More for API and mobile builders: the public API gains account-scoped endpoints — your leagues, the events you participate in, and subscription status — plus draft visibility for owners and new write endpoints covering tournament creation, rosters, scheduling, registration and lifecycle actions, with a Google sign-in handoff page.
v1.14
Oct 25, 2026

Polished edges, more API to build on

An animated sign-in page, decluttered logged-in menus, a tidier mobile footer, and twelve new account-scoped API endpoints.

WebsiteMobileAPI
  • A sign-in page that shows what you came for: the left panel of the desktop sign-in and sign-up pages now plays a short animated bracket — teams pop in, lines draw themselves, and the champion slot glows — while rotating taglines highlight what you can do in seconds.
  • Logged-in navigation, decluttered: the mobile drawer now ends with your avatar, name, and a one-tap Dashboard button; the desktop account menu gains icons and a Plan row; and the mobile account sheet and notification panel drop their stacked boxes for clean full-width rows, with unread notifications marked by a colored dot.
  • A tidier mobile footer: copyright and the theme toggle share one neat line above the giant wordmark, with the trust badges side by side — smaller and frameless.
  • Twelve new API endpoints: the public API gains account-scoped write endpoints plus schedule venue-assignment read/write, covering more of the tournament workflow for API and mobile builders.
v1.12
Oct 25, 2026

Sharper navigation, a lighter footer

Redesigned header menus with smoother animations, a rebuilt mobile menu, and a footer that signs off in style.

WebsiteNavigationMobile
  • Header menus that are easier to scan: the Product and Resources dropdowns are redesigned — every item now carries a small icon and a clearer one-line description, panels sit neatly under the menu you opened, and hover and opening animations are smooth and subtle instead of abrupt.
  • A mobile header rebuilt around your thumbs: the logo now sits centred, the menu opens as a tidy drawer with grouped sections and highlighted shortcuts, and the Sign in (or Dashboard) button plus a compact four-language switcher are pinned to the bottom of the drawer within easy reach.
  • A footer with a signature: every page now ends with a large Rollare wordmark that gently fades into the background. Copyright and the dark/light toggle moved next to the newsletter sign-up, and trust badges now sit under the legal links — less clutter, same information.
  • Under the hood: all of this ships as pure styling and structure with a negligible bundle impact (about 1 KB gzipped in total), and was verified in both light and dark themes, signed in and out, on desktop and mobile.
v1.11
Oct 21, 2026

Clearer brackets, faster leagues

A refreshed homepage story, steadier elimination schedules, and a round of speed and accessibility polish.

HomepageEngineMobile
  • The homepage now tells the whole story: a new "More than a bracket maker" section explains what you get the moment your draw is live, and every tournament format card carries a fuller description — including what group knockout and swiss knockout actually do.
  • Elimination schedules stop flickering: match times on single and double elimination brackets render consistently on first paint, in every time zone, on every page — no more text jumping around right after the page loads.
  • League pages hold up under pressure: series standings now cache their heavy computations, so public league pages stay fast even as completed events pile up.
  • Copying links works everywhere: the copy button on TV screens, blog posts and shared pages now falls back gracefully in browsers that block clipboard access — and never shows "copied" when nothing was copied.
  • Bigger touch targets, clearer labels: zoom controls, calendar and share buttons are easier to hit on phones, and screen readers can now announce the overflow and filter-clear buttons by name.
  • Under the hood: contact form and AI endpoints got rate limiting and input limits, a rare tournament-state edge case can no longer break a public league page, and a batch of small reliability fixes landed across the board.
v1.10
Oct 20, 2026

Notifications that speak your language

Emails and notifications now follow your language, plus a round of engine and mobile fixes.

NotificationsEngineMobile
  • Emails and notifications now speak your language: welcome emails, verification links and in-app announcements follow the language you're using — no more English-only mail for Japanese, Korean or Chinese organizers.
  • Duplicate notifications are gone: background tasks that take a while to finish can no longer run twice, and scheduled announcements can't get stuck halfway through the send list anymore.
  • Bracket engine edge cases fixed: withdrawing a score mid-round now cleans up properly, double elimination accepts events with fewer than 4 teams, champion detection stays correct after a page refresh, and phantom elimination cascades are gone.
  • Mobile polish: the guest Swiss tournament toolbar fits small screens at last, touch targets got bigger across the app, standings tables reflow on narrow screens, and older Android browsers render fixed-height layouts correctly.
  • Faster loads for everyone: trimmed ~45 KB of dead framework code every visitor was downloading, and tournament pages got ~50 KB lighter.
  • Under the hood: a round of security and reliability hardening for admin settings and background jobs.
v1.9
Oct 19, 2026

Social share cards & the product handbook

Tournament links now unfurl into a branded card with a QR code, plus a 23-page docs area.

SharingDocsPolish
  • Social share cards are live: post a tournament link on X, Facebook or Discord and it unfurls into a card with your theme colors, format, date & venue, team count and a scannable QR code. Results changed? The card refreshes itself within 10 minutes.
  • The card got a full redesign: long tournament names now wrap across two lines instead of being cut off, with a cleaner editorial layout.
  • Product handbook launched at /docs — 23 pages covering formats, registration, refereeing, exports and integrations.
  • A batch of polish: delete confirmation for tournaments, safer archiving, and compatibility fixes so styles render correctly on older devices.
  • Faster still: public pages and images load quicker after more caching work.
v1.8
Oct 8, 2026

Free tools, Discord push & PayPal payments

Three free bracket tools, Discord notifications, subscription payments, and a much faster site.

Free toolsDiscordPayments
  • Three free tools landed — no sign-up needed: a group randomizer for drawing pools, a bye calculator for odd-sized brackets, and a tiebreaker rules guide.
  • Connect a Discord server: match results, reschedules and registration decisions get posted to your channel automatically.
  • PayPal payments: subscribe to Community or Pro, or buy a per-event pass. Switching plans prorates automatically — upgrades refund the difference, downgrades run to the end of the term.
  • The new homepage generates brackets instantly across 8 formats — try it before signing up.
  • Prettier exports: scores printed on the bracket, your theme colors throughout, and hi-res PNG for every format.
  • Big speedups: public pages now serve from edge cache, and mobile loading got noticeably faster.
  • Registration niceties: automatic capacity-full warnings for organizers and one-click registration opened announcements.
v1.7
Sep 15, 2026

Registration, Swiss rounds & a better mobile bracket

Self-serve registration with custom fields, two Swiss formats, leagues, and a rebuilt mobile bracket view.

RegistrationFormatsMobile
  • Self-serve registration is here: teams sign up through your form — 8 field types (contact info, roster, notes…), capacity caps, and scheduled opening times. Review, approve or decline applications in one click.
  • Two new formats: Swiss Round and Swiss + Knockout, with deterministic fair pairing every round.
  • Leagues: chain multiple events into a series with automatic cross-event standings.
  • Two scoring modes: enter scores per match in the bracket, or run spectator-friendly text updates for live viewing.
  • The mobile bracket was rebuilt: swipeable round windows, separate winners/losers tabs for double elimination, and highlight paths that show exactly where a team advances.
  • Sign in with Google — one click and you're in.
v1.6
Sep 1, 2026

Referee management, Discord updates, and smarter sharing

Give referees the right access, post results straight to Discord, and track payments without lifting a finger.

RefereesDiscordPayments
  • Referees and scorekeepers now have safer permissions by default: they can only enter results for matches assigned to them. Invited members can also decline an invitation, and you can see at a glance who has accepted or declined.
  • Assign a referee to any match right from the schedule. They're notified instantly, and everyone can see who's overseeing each match.
  • Conflict detection now keeps an eye on your people too: it warns you if a referee is booked on two matches at the same time, or has too little time to get between venues.
  • Connect your Discord server and results, schedule changes, and approved registrations are posted to your channel automatically.
  • Sharing looks better than ever: your tournament link now shows a rich preview card with your event's colors, format, date, venue, team count, and a QR code.
  • New payment tracking: mark registrations as paid with one click, watch your progress bar fill up, and send friendly reminder emails — we never touch your money.
  • A setup checklist on your dashboard shows exactly what's left before your tournament is ready to run, and tidies itself away once everything's done.
  • New pricing plans: a free plan, an affordable per-event pass, plus yearly community and pro plans — pick what fits how often you run events.
  • Fixes you'll notice: large double-elimination bracket images no longer overlap, and switching the site language is now instant.
v1.5

Big-screen TV mode, sport categories, and print-ready PDFs

Put your tournament on the big screen, organize events by sport, and export brackets that print beautifully.

TV ModeCategoriesExport
  • Turn any venue screen into a live tournament display. New TV mode cycles through your bracket, schedule, and latest results automatically — just open the link and let it run.
  • When creating a tournament you can now pick a sport category — basketball, soccer, volleyball, esports, board games, and more — so participants recognize your event at a glance.
  • Export any bracket as a print-ready PDF with crisp, selectable text, or send it straight to the printer. Team names in any language come out sharp.
  • Plenty of small polish: cleaner export dialogs, neatly aligned round titles, and a confirmation step before regenerating an existing bracket.
v1.4
Aug 27, 2026

A page for every match, calendar sync, and automatic reminders

Give each match its own shareable page, add schedules to any calendar, and let players know the moment things change.

Match PagesCalendarNotifications
  • Every match now has its own shareable page with time, venue, live score, and where the winners head next.
  • One click adds your whole schedule — or a single match — to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. When times change, your calendar changes too.
  • Players and referees receive an email the moment a match is rescheduled, plus a friendly reminder one hour before start.
  • Following the action is easier: scores, winners, and the path to the next round are all readable right from the match page.
v1.3

Drag-and-drop scheduling, website embeds, and visitor insights

Plan your event day by day, show live brackets on your own website, and see who is following along.

  • A small embed widget puts your live bracket or schedule on any website — colors follow your tournament theme automatically.
  • The new visitors tab shows how many people viewed your public page, where they came from, and what they looked at.
  • Multi-venue events are first-class: assign each match its own venue and time without losing the overview.
v1.2
Aug 15, 2026

Online registration with your own questions

Open sign-ups on your tournament page, ask exactly what you need, and review entries before confirming.

RegistrationScore Entry
  • Sign-ups happen right on your tournament page. Ask for what matters — jersey size, contact info, partner names — and review each entry before it counts.
  • Share one link to collect teams until you hit your limit; available spots update in real time.
  • Custom fields support text, choices, email and phone formats, so answers arrive clean and usable.
