Managing tournament staff should be quick and painless. We've heard your feedback about the friction of adding the same judges and admins to every event, and today we're rolling out some quality-of-life improvements to make staff management effortless.
Remember that judge who helped run your last three events? Now you don't need to remember their email.
When you add staff to any tournament, circuit, or group, you'll see a new Quick Add search box at the top of the modal. Start typing a name or email, and we'll show you people you've worked with before. One click and they're added.
Your staff network builds automatically as you add people, so it only gets more useful over time. No more hunting through old messages or asking "what email do you use for TopDeck?"
Work with the same core team regularly? You can now favorite staff members to keep them at the top of your list. Star your head judge, your regular scorekeeper, or anyone you add to most events; they'll always be one click away.
For convention and store owners, your admins can now create and clone events on your behalf. When an admin creates a tournament under your convention or group:
This means you can delegate event creation to your team without worrying about ownership or payment routing. Your admins handle the setup, you stay in control.
These improvements work everywhere you manage staff: tournaments, circuits, and conventions. The familiar email-based flow is still there if you need it, but now you have faster options when they make sense.
These features are live now. As always, let us know what you think:
