Oh... and a clock showing current time OR a countdown until the next trial. People always asking how much time until trial annoys me a little =[

Let's get back on topic with small site projects. I've noticed that the deck section has an archive, but the coverage and profile section does not. Is it possible to create a shortcut to it?

Perhaps a better and easier way to look up tournament results on the site, sort of like a database for all tournaments that have been run, and a way to search through it to find for instance the particular format and a deck from that format.

It is a combination of things. If you want to work with many sets, the tables get too big, and the queries take too long.
If you make a tournament very big, then there are so many queries that the site is seriously lagging, and has chances on crashing.
From what I hear the coding on the new site is more efficient, so we have more possibilities on doing such things.

The votes are still out on sealed masters though.

Long ago we had ratings by country, it was cool to see which country had a better rating, it would be cool to get it back (if it is easier to fit it in the new site, cause I think it got removed because it was difficult to code in this site)

EDIT : I dont want to write another post so here we go:

There is 1 annoying thing while you are tcing a mini, is that when u report a match that isnt fully reported, u get a msg saying "You have reported blablabla" so the site took you to the same page but with the url with the action of reporting the match, so if you want to refresh the page to see if there are any outstanding matches u have to go back to home and click on here again.

Is there a way to put a button to refresh the page without submitting the result again?

Suggestion: Since the league is now using MWS for all trials, masters, and the majority of minis, shouldn't the deck lists from the trials be available in MWS format. Sure, it is easier to have them available in apprentice text format, but I don't see it being too hard to make them in MWS format (.mwDeck).

Another suggestion: add a warn button to the forums to alert a moderator about spam posts and innopropriate remarks.

I agree with Arathomir since if we're going to play trials and masters on mws it's easier to download the decks and playtest them or vs them in mws or maybe make the decks presentations as the list of main deck cards as normal "4 Plains" and the sideboard cards as "SB: 3 Pithing Needle" this would at least allow to copy the list and paste deck from clipboard at mws.

Regarding Sealed pools, please make them based on print runs. The way it is right now, it gives like 5 cards of one color which is unreal since you won't get a pool like that irl and opening one of those pools automaticly excludes that color since it cant be deep, only splashable and that reduces the need of skills to pull out the best of you're pool since part of it was already done by the pool generator.

Another aspect is the netdraft code generator. If possible, make it generate a mws code since m-l is on mws so should draft be.

This would allow limited masters, making them swiss rounds of sealed and top-8 draft since a full draft master is probably hard to organize.

Also, is it possible to create a place that would store all the minis links of one day? like a list of links to minis so we can check what decks won in each mini. Its better than having to run through TC's profiles to see what minis they started in order to check the decks.

It would be something as a calendar where you were able to choose a day and would appear a list with links to all the minis created in that same day. It could be organised in extended, standard, sealed and so on. Since those pages are already done, it wouldn't need to extend the database but only to make a folder with links for those minis and a database for the days if needed to.

The sealed and drafts links would only be avaible if you are moving foward with the storage of those decks.

This would not only help players to see more decks and analise the m-l meta but also admins and judges to keep an eye on how many minis are created in each format. So, in further applys at judges you could try to balance the amount of minis per format by choosing one that used to play in a less played format.

Are there any plans to make the deck lists from the draft minis available? That would be awesome.
