Tournament invitations

When a VIP enters a new tournament, for some reason they start announcing in different rooms that a tournament is taking place. Again, to get more participants. Sometimes the organizer sends private messages. From my own experience, I know that I have missed quite a few tournaments -- I would have liked to participate, but I didn't know/see that they had been entered. Conclusion: the "update list" button in the tournament tab is not convenient enough to find out about new tournaments. Proposal: Sending tournament invitations could be automatic. The user could choose which tournaments they want to receive invitations for. 1. For example, tournament invitations could be turned on when the corresponding game room is open. 2. Or create a separate button in the game room (similar to the "I want challenges" button). Invitations can be sent in different ways, but they could come with a sound signal, preferably 1-5 minutes before the tournament starts. 1. "Tournament starts" is written in the room. 2. Or the tournament room is opened immediately. 3. Or a private message will be sent. 4. Or a new popup (like a duel invitation). 5. Or a new entry from the tournament will appear in the games list (on the left).

A worthy idea, it would also reduce the number of latecomers and the discussion that has arisen on this topic recently.

Is it enough if the announcement comes to the large hall 5 minutes in advance?

Or maybe 8 and 5 min before... two notifications? Or maybe if there happens to be a lively exchange of words in the large room, so that this single line is not lost? Or these notifications with a special font/color? The large hall reminder itself is the best and certainly the least painful option.

For a while, these announcements were in the big hall. I don't know much about the tournaments myself, but it would be good if they ran through once. 5 minutes would be enough, and once, and in color.

Previously, yes, there was an announcement in the large hall. I just missed the sasku tournament, it would have been great if there had been an announcement :p

I looked at the code a bit, I'll try it tomorrow. A notification will come in the large hall and if you're in the game room where the game is taking place, it will come there too. And maybe I'll also get this notification on the game table. For example, if you're playing sasku and a sasku tournament is about to start, a notification could also come to the sasku table. And of course then to other tournament rooms of the same game type.... I'm thinking that maybe 10 minutes is a little longer/better. And then two notifications could come. When the tournament room opens (when the first user has opened the tournament room) and then 5 or 10 minutes before.

It could be 10, yes. I was thinking more about how many times the notification comes within a few minutes and five tournaments are about to start, and suddenly the large hall is full of colorful tournament invitations.

Done! The opening of the tournament room will be announced in the large hall, and 5 minutes before the start of the tournament, an announcement will also be made to the game room, game table, and tournament room for the corresponding game type.

Personally, I don't think there's a need for these notifications in the big hall - there are so many of them in the evenings that it's hard to find out what's going on and when, etc. Would you remove the notifications from the big hall but still keep them in the game rooms/game tables? Or even better - make a device where tournament notifications can be removed from the big hall?
