## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.38 — 2026-08-18

Adjusting a session no longer trips over itself.

• Bring your own artwork to the draft board: a new Misc image upload swaps the built-in Team Battle draft graphic for yours, cropped to the same shape so nothing shifts.

• Editing a round could fail with an error if the round changed shape while you were in it: a court added or removed, the rounds ahead reshuffled, or four sitting-out players pulled onto a new court. That is fixed, and swapping someone who had a bye into an occupied spot works again.

Tidier navigation:

• New Session moved to the top of the menu, under Home, so it is where you look for it.
• Leagues, Tournaments and Team Battles each showed two buttons that did the same thing. Now there is one.
• Questions you send us arrive in Chat Hub as a normal conversation instead of a separate inbox.

Thanks for playing!

### 1.0.37 — 2026-08-17

Team Battle drafts now look the part on a big screen.

• The display board sharpens up: players' faces on live match cards, sponsor slots that rotate in the corner, playoff games named by court, ratings on the Top 10, and a winner screen that scales to fit any screen.

• The draft board shows every open spot, who is picking, who is up next, and the whole list of players still available, ranked. Nobody is hidden behind a top ten.
• Each pick flies from the pool into its team and the board waits for it to land before moving on, so the room and the screen stay in step.
• Text too small from the back of the room? The plus and minus buttons resize the whole board, and it stays that size for the rest of the event.
• A team number now means something: it is that team's place in the picking order, so Team 1 drafts first.
• Sponsors can sit either side of the draft board, set per event in Event Settings.

Saving to history now waits until a champion is decided, so the final and the third-place match always make it into the record and into everyone's stats.

Thanks for playing!

### 1.0.36 — 2026-08-15

Team Battle got two upgrades: names that stay current, and a draft roster that waits for the draft.

• Player names follow the person: if a player renames their account, rosters, the draft pool, score sheets, standings, and the projector all show the new name right away.
• Draft events lock their roster until you start the draft: before the draft starts, captains see locked slots, and the host gets a heads-up if they place anyone early.

Thanks for playing!

### 1.0.35 — 2026-08-15

Fixed Pairs is fully flexible now, and 6v6 Showdown standings got a real upgrade.

• Fixed Pairs: add a pair to slot in two loose players, break an existing pair, or retire or remove anyone. The bracket updates the moment you make the change, and you can set a guest's rating and gender right there.
• 6v6 Showdown: the Standings tab and the session summary now show Team Points on top, per-player stats, fun stats, and the next round's matchups.

Thanks for playing!

### 1.0.34 — 2026-08-14

Your tournament and Team Battle sessions, tidied up.

• Profile photos now show on Team Battle rosters, spectators, the draft board and results, not just initials. Players without a photo still show their initials.

• Team Battles, tournaments and leagues now sit right in your Today / Tomorrow / This week list instead of a separate block up top. Leagues, which have no date, get an Ongoing group.
• Match cards always list in court order, so the whole room reads the same 1, 2, 3.
• Team Battle chat sends push notifications, and the Chats hub is grouped by recency with an unread badge. Direct chats show the person's photo; tap it for their stats.
• Tournaments: move a match to another court after the schedule is set, use court names with letters like 11A and 11B, rename courts any time, and print the full schedule.
• Organizers can add spectators, and balanced draft order is now the default.
• Polished the iPad and desktop side panel.

Thanks for playing!
