  Additionally, I cannot see the skeleton of the bracket. Only a leaderboard.I cannot see match ups or who is left to play.

  Also, I cannot see a timer for when next round will begin, or how much time is left in current round. Gonna be a guessing game looks like.

  Some good ideas here, but execution needs some work. I see more issues than fixes so far.

  I, too, would like the BRACKET viewing to be added back in for brackets, not just the leaderboard.  In fact, there should NOT be a leaderboard for brackets at all . . . . 

  Also, the lime green (yellow?) does not show up well for "entered."  The blue (PLAYED and PLAY AGAIN) and the red (NEED TO PLAY) look great.  Maybe try orange or white w/black letters for ENTERED?  Actually, the lime/yellow would be okay if you switched to black letters.  It's the white letters that don't show up. . . . .

  Well brackets are completely messed up NOW!! Unless I'm missing something  But below is an example of what I NOW see from a 9 hole bracket I'm in...  

  Can't see an image of the "Actual" bracket so I have no clue who my opponent is? and even worse is I see nothing showing the amount of time left to play each round!!! Totally unnecessary update that has made something that was unbroke... NOW  BROKE!! 😡

  Here's the old view

  

  Now I only see the below 2 views

  

  

  How do I know who I'm playing and more importantly HOW MUCH TIME REMAINING IN THE PARTICULAR ROUND??

  Looks like it is done properly for the WGT Brackets so hopefully it's not too long to fix it to get it right in the CC ones too.

  Where is it right? The only place I can see brackets and time remaining now is on these web pages. I am in several and mine look just like the photos JD shared.

  There may be some improvements for those who play WGT tournaments, but I never had a problem there.  What WGT has done is make it worse for club tournaments.

  The re-design for club tournament displays is mcuh worse.  Specifically, (1) if one enters a tournament one has to play immediately (WHY?), (2) dates for rounds in multi-player rounds no longer shown, (3) we can no longer see the brackets for bracket tournaments.

  If there is an improvement for club tournaments, enlighten me.

  Moving on ...

  1. When do we get the AS fixes that have been requested for over a year?  I won't repeat them.  You have heard them from many players in many forum threads, as well as in private text messages.

  2.  Cross-platform play and uneven lies:  I guess those are both figments of our imagination.

  Please tell your engineers to do something useful and not break what was OK.

  After all this time with PCEA, there is a broader theme that seems to be going on.  Make things worse for AS and club tournaments ... force us into coin games and club tournaments.  Enlighten me on this if I am wrong.

  Tom.

  And to prove my point, I just played an AS game with regular players.  An opponent got disconnected.

  Only 40 seconds to reconnect.  It used to be 1:45 minutes, then cut to 1:30 minutes ...

  NOW IT IS 40 SECONDS.  Which idiot made that decision?

  This is not supposed to be an arcade game except for those who want to play it that way!!!

  Tom.

  PS.  My team won of the ff although we were 2 down.  Ridiculous they only had 40 seconds to re-connect.

  I agree there needs to be some improvement but i do like the design and think if improvements are made for issues mentioned above it will be great.

  Jacktrade, i believe its like that for club tournaments and wgt tournaments.  I entered a 200 credit wgt bracket and had to play right away.  This needs to be fixed asap in my opinion.  The bracket views to see actual brackets vs leaderboard are in two different places and much harder and time consuming to access. If this can be fixed next update that would be great.

  Actually, in Flash, we could not see leaderboards in brackets.  You shot without knowing what your opponent shot if he/she went first.  That was fairer.

  In fact, WGT would not post the score on a player's home page until the opponent played.  And they still do not.  But they post it in PCEA.

  Another Flash to PCEA change that should be corrected.

  WGTChampion took great offense when I told him in private message than none of your current programmers play the game.  Sure, they might play a round here or there, but they do not understand the various WGT/club games.

  Tom.

  That IS a WGT Bracket Marchie? I have no idea in the 3 WGT brackets I'm currently in when each round ends?
