Failure creating tournament

I tried four times, always got the same error:

Clicking on “Create Tournament” results in:

Filing under “bug report” because either the error message could be improved (feature request?) or I’ve indeed managed to trip some bug…?

I think I might see the problem. Try swapping the rank restrictions around. 13k on the left and 6k on the right.

@Kosh
I think you are correct with the method

we should really change that to a slider or something so this error is impossible lol

Yup, that worked! So now I’ve created a little tournament: https://online-go.com/tournament/59709

Or do what the “Create Custom Game” option does at https://online-go.com/play - when changing the one, automatically change the other to ensure it’s never an invalid range: there I figured out quickly enough which should be which, thanks to that feature. :slight_smile:

this had been discussed but I never realised it was implemented! :open_mouth: yeah, that should be good enough… I still think a slider makes the decision more intuitive though and minimises confusion for new users…

My understanding is that dual-selection sliders are not as friendly to users with accessibility issues.

It could be an option in settings that you can disable. I think it should be auto on though. Some people on these forums have trouble finding something in the settings, and this feels like something that could be helpful for them.

Thanks for thinking of that! That’s probably a good enough reason to just leave it how we have it
