April Update: Ranked Play, Push Notifications & More

Ranked Tournaments & Game Invites

Tournaments can now be marked Ranked at creation. Ranked tournaments generate ranked games that affect ELO ratings, and players must accept an invite before they're added. Game invites work the same way in the lobby — search for a player, send an invite, and they'll get an email with a one-click accept link.

Push Notifications

BagTrax now sends push notifications when you're added to a tournament or someone joins your friendly lobby. Notifications are automatic after login — manage your preferences from the Settings page.

Tournament Locations

Add a location to your tournament using Google Places autocomplete. Locations show up on the tournament detail and list pages so players know where to go.

New Dashboard

The dashboard got a full redesign with higher information density. Game invites now appear alongside tournament invites so you can see everything pending in one place.

Tournament Onboarding Redesign

The old 3-step wizard is gone. Tournament setup is now a single page with pool seeding, auto-generated team names, and player stats (PPR and rating) visible right in the onboarding table.

Tournament List Redesign

The tournaments browse page has a fresh layout to match the new dashboard.
