This means you can do things like right-click on a link and select &#8220;Open in new tab&#8221;, which isn&#8217;t possible today.  It also means the page will load faster, allow Ctrl+F for searching, copy\/paste by selecting, etc.<\/li>\n<li>In Round Robin tournaments, the line that connects two players will be shaded green on the winner&#8217;s side and red on the loser&#8217;s.  This makes it easy to see if someone has been winning or losing a lot by how much green\/red is near them<\/li>\n<li>The Players tab shows how many wins and losses each player has, even for in-progress tournaments.  This makes it easier to see how a tournament is going while it&#8217;s in progress, especially round-robins.<\/li>\n<li>When inviting players to a tournament, you can search for people by name, even if they&#8217;re not on your friends list.  It also allows you to invite based on clan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been working on updating the Tournaments section of WarLight.
