Removing resigned tournaments from list

For me it appears on both sites.

I understand the idea but that is actually a typical UX potential. The developer thought of the categories from a system perspective i.e. “what is the state of the tournament item” instead of from a user perspective i.e. “what is my personal involvement in the tournament”.

My recommendation

1. Replace “My Tournaments” with clearer wording

  • Active or Ongoing
    • User still competing
    • default tab
  • Completed
    • user participated but it’s over for him
    • optional filter or header to differentiate between active/finished tournaments

2. Move discovery into its own section

  • Replace all three tabs with “Find Tournaments”
  • Add filters instead, maybe even additional filters like size, ranks, etc.

Alternative recommendation (but more work at first)

  • Use Smart Filters instead of using Tabs at all
  • Top filter bar
    • Status: Active, Eliminated, Finished
    • Type: Live, Correspondence, Scheduled
    • Size: 9x9, 13x13, 19x19
    • Ranks: DDK, SDK, Dan
  • Users can then combine filters, like
    • Active + Live + 13x13 + SDK
    • Finished + 9x9

Maybe use something like toggle chips for filtering.
