Changelog

New features, fixes, and improvements — updated with every release.

Currently running: v03.15

v03.15Latest2026-07-05

Added

Add to calendar — a one-click .ics download for the tournament date on the public tournament page
Share button — native share sheet on mobile, copy-link fallback elsewhere
Find my board — search your name on the Pairings tab to jump straight to your board instead of scrolling the full list
Player search on the public Players tab
The venue/address on the public page now links to Google Maps
Registration deadline now shows urgency copy ("Registration closes in 2 days") when the deadline is close, instead of just a date

v03.142026-07-05

Added

Guided Setup for brand-new tournaments — the setup checklist now walks first-time TDs through Basics, Registration & Capacity, Sections, Payments, Player Communication, Public Page, and Final Pre-flight one stage at a time; experienced TDs (or anyone who's already filled in the basics) still see the familiar all-at-once checklist, and the choice is remembered per tournament
The Event Day Command Center's unpaid/not-checked-in/missing-federation-ID/bye-request counts are now expandable — click to see the actual player names, plus a one-click "Send reminder" for unpaid and not-checked-in players
"Export event-day sheet" — a one-click CSV (name, section, check-in, payment, board) for a printed backup on tournament day
A plain-language note next to the entry-fee field explaining that payments go directly to the organizer's own Stripe account, not to Torneo

Fixed

The registration status page now says "Payment received — the organizer must review your registration" instead of a generic pending-review message when payment succeeded but the tournament was at capacity for auto-approval

v03.132026-07-05

Fixed

Retrying a paid registration after the organizer connects Stripe (or fixes payment configuration) no longer gets blocked — previously a failed attempt left a stuck row that blocked the same email from ever registering again
The registration status page no longer generates a new Stripe payment link every time it's viewed or refreshed — the existing link is reused, and a fresh one is only created on demand when the player clicks Pay
Abandoned checkout cleanup now correctly finds and clears stale payment sessions for organizers using their own connected Stripe account
The checkout success page now accurately says "You are registered" when payment auto-approves a registration, instead of always saying approval is still pending; the player also now gets a confirmation email when this happens

v03.122026-07-05

Changed

Payments now settle directly to organizers, not Torneo — every tournament director and club manager connects their own Stripe account once (Club Settings → Payment Processing) before collecting entry fees or dues; every charge settles straight to that account with no platform fee

v03.112026-07-04

Added

Event Day panel — the tournament Overview tab now shows per-section registered/checked-in/paid/unpaid counts, plus tournament-wide counts for missing federation IDs, current-round bye requests, and the waitlist, once a tournament is in progress
Refund policy, check-in instructions, and a registration deadline — new tournament settings shown to registrants on the public tournament page and their registration status page; the setup checklist now flags a missing refund policy or check-in instructions and unconfigured payment processing on paid tournaments

Fixed

Sectioned tournaments' Rounds tab showed duplicate section headers and duplicate bye rows — could repeat the same bye many times over on one round when pairings arrived out of section order
"Generate Round" button only appeared above the round history, forcing a scroll to the top after entering results — added a matching button below the list
Pairing sheet printed with faint gray text instead of black, and the text was a size too small
Password strength requirements weren't checked until after submitting on registration, invite-accept, and profile password changes — now shown upfront and validated before submit
An assistant organizer could be invited with no permissions granted at all

v03.102026-07-01

Added

Registration form completeness — the public registration form now collects first/last name and date of birth, plus conditional parent/guardian contact fields for scholastic tournaments
Requested half-point byes — players can pre-declare a round they can't play when registering; the pairing engine sits them out for 0.5 points and re-derives the reactive bye for whoever's left
Pairing-software registration export — export a clean player list before rounds start (generic CSV, SwissSys, or WinTD format), filterable by section and payment status
Active sessions on your profile page — view all active logins with device/IP/last-used info and revoke any of them individually
Expanded tournament setup checklist and pairing warnings — more gaps are flagged before you generate pairings or open registration

Fixed

Bot verification (Turnstile) was silently blocked on login, register, and public registration in production due to a missing security policy allowance

v03.92026-06-30

Added

Rating verification badges on registrations — when a player self-registers with a FIDE or USCF ID, Torneo cross-checks it against the federation supplement and shows a Verified / Mismatch / Inactive / Unverified badge next to their rating in your registrations review panel

Fixed

About page incorrectly described the pairing engine as 'Dutch-system' and FIDE C.04.3 compliant — corrected to 'Swiss-style pairings' until formal certification is complete

v03.82026-06-28

Added

Back navigation on the public tournament page — 'Torneo / All tournaments' breadcrumb in the page header links back to the tournament calendar

Fixed

Mobile header no longer crowds on small screens — Admin link is now icon-only on mobile, and a sign-out icon button is always visible in the top-right header
Admin panel breadcrumb ('/ Admin') is hidden on mobile to give the Torneo logo and wordmark full breathing room

v03.72026-06-26

Added

Fixed

Public registration form now uses a dropdown for federation (FIDE / USCF / None) instead of a free-text field
