More Info for Game Administration

A few folks wrote over the last few weeks to ask why I changed the administrative game detail page to no longer sort players and judges by APL. The answer is because I was not giving any information about the game's waitlist - I figured it was more important for you to see attendees in the order in which they signed up. However, I didn't actually show you signup dates or otherwise give you any cue what was going on. So to most of you, the change looked completely arbitrary. And it pretty much was.

I just pushed out a very simple update that changes the page to sort players and judges by APL. However, the page now displays the signup date for each attendee, and it tags each waitlisted name with a red question mark. The printable version of the page is similarly updated. Now you can more easily scan these pages for APL groupings and at the same time be sure you know which attendees are guaranteed seats and which are waitlisted.
