"Bonus Round" for Swiss Events

Sometimes in a Swiss event you advertise an N round event, but because of pair ups/downs a single, undefeated winner can be found after N-1 rounds. This leads to some awkward matchups with Swiss being only really good at finding a X-0 player.

As a solution, add the TO the ability to add a "Bonus Round" (name pending) that uses the current swiss pairings, counts for ratings (if the event is rated) and otherwise applies all stats to the event but DOESN'T affect the overall standings.

This gives the best of both worlds of sticking to Swiss' stengths but guaranteeing a certain number of rounds.

Put less weight on games vs unrated opponents

Modify the rating calculation to make games vs unrated players or players with fewer games than the game threshold to have less of an effect on your rating.

Convert a bye into a game after a round has been paired

It is nice to be able to modify pairings after the round has started, but when running leagues I often have someone who wants to join mid round (esp round 1).

Currently this requires deleting the round and re entering pairings (and often results).

It would be nice to add a new table and change a bye into a normal pairings after the round has started instead

Game system: SW Legion

Track round 1 command card

A trend I've noticed for Legion is play standing orders most games round 1. I'd like to track how often this actually happens. It could be a quick win for a future rules update to change how powerful playing what should be the worst command card is in round 1

Support non latin characters

Special characters from other languages are displayed as "?" instead of for example śźć. It should be easy fix and improve using service for many people

Game system: Warmachine

Add Warmachine Tales from the Front Lines Scenarios for Tournament and League Play

Steam Forged games recently released their Tales from the Front Lines package designed for casual and narrative play. This package contains 6 new scenarios for Warmachine casual play and Journeyman (slow grow) leagues beyond the 7 Steamroller scenarios already in Longshanks.

I recommend making a change to the drop down menu for “Scenario” when logging the results of a Warmachine Tournament or League game. Currently the drop down menu lists the seven Steamroller scenarios. Instead, the dropdown menu should have two main heading “Steamroller” and “Tales from the Front Lines”. Underneath each should then list the names of the respective scenarios.
Steam Roller
(List the 7 scenarios)
Tales from the Front Lines
(List the 6 scenarios)

This would be like the functionality currently used under the “Army” drop down menu, where a person could select “Cygnar” and under that there are options for Storm Legion, Gravediggers, Storm Knights, or First Army.
