Editor’s Note (01-2026): The start.gg account linking feature mentioned in this post was temporarily disabled just hours after launch at their request.
We've pushed a final web and backend update just in time for the new year!
Web:
- Added ability to link a startgg account from your profile and view linked accounts on other profiles. This will be used by data aggregators like supermajor.gg to merge your data across tournament platforms.
- Added many responsive design tweaks across the website for improved usability on mobile devices.
- Improved form design (coming to mobile soon too) - most optional fields are now hidden by default. As we add more complex configuration options this will help hide that additional complexity.
- Style tweak on attendees in tournament header so it's clear that you can click this to scroll to the attendees list.
Backend:
- Migrated event export to mirror the event on challonge rather than braacket directly. This will still function from the https://parry.gg/event-export page.
(NOTE: This approach does not support multiphase events. We're actively exploring workarounds).
- Fixed an issue with projected brackets for complex multiphase events.
Api changes:
- Structured location data for addresses via geocoding
- Matches now have a
started_at and ended_at field
- MatchGames now have a state, as well as a
started_at and ended_at.
- MatchGameSlots now have a placement field. match_id pointers (
prev_match_id_1, prev_match_id_2, winners_match_id, losers_match_id ) are now populated across phase boundaries.
- Users have an
is_anonymous property
- New endpoint for merging anonymous accounts with a real account
- New endpont for viewing identity related actions, like linking a startgg account or merging with another account
We're super thankful for all your support in 2025 🙏 - stay tuned for big things next year, we're just getting started!
