What's New

Your group stage just became must-watch TV.

WeCourts TV now reads your tournament while groups are still being played and shows the knockout bracket forming in real time — plus exactly what every team needs from the match in front of them.

What's new:

🪜 Live projected bracket — the knockout draw assembles itself on screen from current standings, before groups even finish. It's the real seeding engine, so what you see is exactly what the system will lock in.

🎯 "What they need" on every team — the standings now spell out the stakes: "Win 6-4+ to go through", "Out if either team wins big", "In if it stays close."

🔥 AT RISK / HAS CHANCE chips — instantly see who's clinging to a spot and who's about to steal one.

⚔️ Decider detection — when a single live match controls another group's fate (the best-3rd race), WeCourts TV knows, and lights it up.

⭐ Player Spotlight + auto-rotation — Standings, Bracket, and Spotlight rotate on their own, or tap to jump between them on any device.

All available on tournament page on wecourts and also on mobile app

How to use it: Open your tournament's /tv/:code link, cast it to the venue screen, and let it run. Works on the big screen, your laptop, and players' phones.

Available now on all groups + knockout tournaments. No setup required.

Posting your registration list to WhatsApp and ending up with five "Mohammad"s? Fixed.

The Share & Copy dialog now has an "Add last-name initial" toggle. Flip it on and every player gets a compact initial after their first name, so similar names stay apart at a glance.

What's new:

🔤 One-tap last-name initials — "Sami" becomes "Sami AlS." across the whole list.

🌍 Arabic-aware — Al-Sayyed → AlS., Al-Mansoori → AlM. They stay distinct instead of both becoming a meaningless "A.".

🧠 Auto-disambiguation — teammates with the same first name are split automatically ("Mohammad A. & Mohammad K."), toggle or not.

✨ Cleaner formatting — teammate separator is now a crisp /.

Before:

🎾 Jasha & Ali
🎾 Javier & Javier 

After:

🎾 Jasha S  /  Ali AlS
🎾 Javier M  /  Javier R

Open Share & Copy → Copy Full Info, tick Add last-name initial. Off by default.

TL;DR: Match History now shows a complete visual story of your WPPR. Every match, every projection, every category boundary.

What's new:

📊 Match-by-match chart of your current rating cycle — wins, losses, eligibility, all on one screen

🎯 Projected next rating — see where your WPPR is heading before the cycle closes

👀 Tap any match for the full breakdown: partner, opponents, score, rating impact

✅ Transparency by default — every match clearly marked as counted or unrated, no black box

🌍 Country-aware — letter bands (D–, C, C+, B–…) follow your country's WPPR scheme

📱 Premium mobile UX — swipe through your history; the centered match auto-selects with a fish-eye focus. No tapping, just flow.

Where to find it: Your player profile → Match History tab

Why we built it: Your WPPR shouldn't be a number that just appears. You should see how every match shapes it and where you're heading next.

Organizers now have a clearer way to remove or disqualify a team during a tournament and decide exactly how that team’s matches should affect the standings.

Previously, removing a team could be confusing because the system did not give organizers enough control over how points should be calculated after the team was removed. This caused uncertainty around whether opponents should keep points, whether unplayed matches should count, and how standings should update.

Now, when an organizer removes or disqualifies a team, they can choose the correct outcome:

Give opponents forfeit wins

• Use this when the removed team should lose their remaining matches.

• Opponents receive win points.

Zero only unplayed matches

• Use this when the team should be removed, but already completed matches should stay unchanged.

• Remaining unplayed matches become 0-0.

Void all matches

• Use this when the team’s full participation should be erased from standings.

• Both played and unplayed matches involving that team are zeroed.

• Opponents lose any points earned from those matches.

The standings now update based on the selected action, so organizers can handle no-shows, withdrawals, injuries, and disqualifications without manually guessing how points should be corrected.

Scoring Settings tab is now a console-style interface with drilldown sheets for format, scoring, KOC, TV, magic links, DQ, incidents, seeds, advanced controls.

Organizer layout got a larger identity-aware Hub menu grouping community, players, results, club/company setup, etc.

Organizer Command Palette

• New global command palette for organizer workflows.

• Finds organizer actions, players, tournaments, setup routes.

✨ New

Complete a partner's profile in one click Registered a partner with just their name?

Adding a mobile triggers WhatsApp verification automatically.

Looking-for-Partner spotlight on tournament cards When players are looking for partners, the tournament detail panel now shows a compact chip at the top with their photos and ratings. Tap it to jump straight to the full LFP list — no more scrolling past the poster.

🚀 Improvements

Stronger name validation We now reject obvious placeholders ("test", "tbd", "partner", "asdf"...) and keyboard mash. Real names with middle initials like Tameem Sultan K A Alalawi still pass.

Better phone number paste Pasting a number with a tel: prefix, hidden formatting, or before you've picked a country now normalizes correctly.

Partner ≠ you guard The form now blocks registering a partner with your own mobile number — caught before you submit.

Partner mobile masking Partner mobile numbers are now masked to the last 4 digits in some views for privacy.

"Create New" appears only after you start typing In partner search and Add Team, the "None of these. Create New" button stays hidden until there's something to search — no more empty manual forms.

🛠 Fixes

Dialogs always sit above the header and menus Standard dialogs, sheets, drawers, and confirmation modals could occasionally be overlapped by the site header or dropdown menus. They now reliably appear above all page chrome.

Loading indicator on tournament details The tournament detail panel now shows a progress strip while it's still fetching, so it's clear when more info is on the way.

Help link on waived tournaments Players landing on a waived tournament page now see a "Report something wrong" button that opens a WhatsApp message to the organizer.

The problem

In tournaments like 26 or 27 teams, the math forces uneven group sizes — some groups end up with 3 teams while others have 4. Teams in the 3-team groups only play 2 group-stage matches. If they lose out there, they leave after just 2 games.

What Direct Advance does

When group sizes are uneven, every team in the smaller groups qualifies automatically to the knockout bracket. No elimination in the small group, no play-in round — they go straight through.

This guarantees every team plays at least 3 matches, regardless of which group they landed in.

How qualifying works

• Smaller groups (3 teams) → all teams advance automatically

• Larger groups (4 teams) → top 2 advance as normal

• Best 3rd-place teams from the larger groups fill any remaining bracket slots

• Straight to the main bracket — no play-in, no byes

Example: 26 teams

7 groups (2 of 3, 5 of 4) → 16 qualify → R16 → QF → SF → Final

Example: 27 teams

7 groups (1 of 3, 6 of 4) → 16 qualify → R16 → QF → SF → Final

Where to find it

Scoring setup → look for the "MGG and Direct Advance" badge at the bottom of a knockout option card. Available for team counts 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, and 27.
