Past and present. Discuss. Constructively best, but a little rant to be expected.

15-person RTT: worked seamlessly
LVO 2018: first day of the GT cost 1.5 hours (finished at 8:30 instead of 7:00) due to BCP failing in 2 of 3 rounds.

Other than offer incense and prayers to BCP’s machine spirit, I think what larger events need is simply redundancy: project pairings on the wall, have an export/backup feature so they don’t lose data if the app crashes, and probably run a separate excel spreadsheet to duplicate the app’s results. The problem at LVO is that everything is being done through the app, and when it crashes it takes the whole event with it.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

As a TO all I can say it is by far the best ever.

Bow down to Guilliman for he is our new God Emperor!

It's just like no internet vs slow internet

Also it looks like they current took down the LVO results. I can still access the results from the doubles but the championship results are no longer available. I hope it didn't get deleted again.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.

BCP worked great for the event. It is just when some obvious increased frontload is expected servers should be made to match. Technically organizers know exactly how many people will be accessing the app. Also, some of hte 1v1's were borked after the 2nd round due to some weird reset.

From going to other non-mainstream tournaments (smash bros, whatever) this was a much more optimized way of scoring, tracking and matching then just calling out.

Only thing to add would be consider having a backup way of pairing in case there are problems in the future to mitigate major damage to the schedule.
