Allow score higher than match length (was: Suggested Enhancements to Round Robin Tournament 'Standings')

Hi Alfie, here are some suggestions for optional enhancements to Round Robin tournaments (listed in priority sequence):
1) Display matches in a different color where it's 'my turn to move'. This will allow me to go quickly to a match where my opponent may be waiting for me. It also allows me to see where it's 'my move' in matches where we are playing asynchronously.
2) Allow the 'Standings' table to be sequenced by 'Points For', regardless of how many matches each player has played. Even better would be to permit the sequencing to be parameterized by any displayed column(s).
3) Record and display the 'true' match scores. To illustrate, I was leading 6-3, Crawford game was already played. My opponent doubled, and I won the game, Score should have been 8-3 - but it was recorded as 7-3.
Thanks!

I think all of these items are addressed now, albeit number 3 is using a workaround

You addressed #2 and #3 - many thanks for that!! Any chance that #1 will be addressed any time soon?

I second the need for #1. I have multiple asynchronous tourney matches a active and find myself constantly opening them to see if it’s my move or not. It would be a time saver and nice alert that it’s my move. Thank you.

I think Item 3 is really valuable valuing the result

Peter Dennis 🇺🇸 (lordogmore), request 2 was added a day or two ago ;)
Your request 3 is very unusual in tournament play. I've only come across it once and only in live play. I did make a change so that TDs (and players in live play) can enter scores higher than the match length.
A workaround for you would be for players to report their "true" match scores to the TD after the match and the TD can adjust the scores.
See attached for new button to adjust the columns used for the standings.
