❓ Sharing an idea

What is the ideas board?

Missing something in UwTornooi, or do you have a suggestion that would make organising easier? Share it on the ideas board. Other users see your idea and can vote on it — that tells us which suggestions are asked for most, which helps us decide what to work on first.

You will find the board after logging in via 💡 Ideas in the top bar. The board is not public: only people with an account can see it.

Adding an idea in four steps

Click + New idea at the top right. You get four short questions:

1. How do you use UwTornooi? Do you organise a tournament, take part in one, or support a team? That tells us which role you are suggesting this from.
2. What would you like to see improved? Complete the sentence after "I want …", e.g. to be able to back up my tournament.
3. Why do you want that? Complete the sentence after "So that …", e.g. I can restore everything if something goes wrong. This part matters: it tells us which problem you really want solved, and sometimes there is a better solution than the one you had in mind.
4. Check and pick a category. You see your idea as a single sentence. Pick the category that fits best (General, Participants, Grouping, Schedule, Presentation, Results or Other) and click Post idea.

Reviewed first, then visible

Your idea comes to us first. While it is waiting to be reviewed, only you see it, marked Awaiting approval — other users cannot see it yet. As soon as we approve it, it appears on the board and you get an email about it. If we do not take it on, we will let you know as well, usually with a short explanation.

Your name stays hidden. Other users only see the idea itself, never who submitted it. Only we can see that internally, so that we can reply to you.

Voting on an idea

Click an idea to open it. At the bottom you will find the question What do you think of this idea? with two buttons: 👍 I want this too and 👎 I do not need this. Your vote counts once; click the same button again and you take it back. The number of thumbs shows next to every idea on the board.

Found an idea close to what you wanted to suggest? Vote on it rather than submitting it again — one idea with many votes carries more weight than the same thing five times over.

Commenting

You can post a comment on any idea, for example to add a detail or explain how you would use it. On a comment your name is shown, because that is a conversation. Our team reads every comment.

Searching and sorting

Once the board holds a few ideas, a bar appears at the top to search for a word, filter by category and sort by Most votes, Newest first or Oldest first. The Only my ideas checkbox shows you at a glance what you have submitted and where it stands.

The statuses

• Awaiting approval — we have received your idea and are reviewing it. Only you can see it.
• Approved — it is on the board, everyone can vote and comment on it.
• Planned — we are going to work on it.
• Done — it is in UwTornooi.
• Not selected — we are not building this for now. The reason is usually given.

Idea or problem?

If something is not working as it should, use the Report a problem button at the bottom left of the screen. The ideas board is meant for suggestions and improvements, not for faults — that keeps it readable and lets us pick up a bug straight away.
