Making Leagues Easier to Access

One of my favorite parts of Replay is playing in multiple very enjoyable leagues with great communities. But I miss a lot of games because the UI is a little high-effort and my executive dysfunction is approximately the size of Greenland.

To get to a league game, I have to go to the Leagues tab. At least on my computer, this always loads more slowly than the rest of Replay for some reason. Then I have to reset my filters bc the league tournaments are for a different buy-in from what I usually play. Then I can access the games—all this assuming I remember to do so, as there are no automatic notifications.

All of this is easily handled with my own user behavior! Here are just some things that I personally would appreciate as they would make it even easier for me to participate in League:

  1. Maybe a toggle function to have League tournaments just show up in some kind of pop-up reminder or something?

  2. Option to show League tournaments on main Lobby page instead of in a separate part of the site, should the user so desire?

  3. AFAIK most leagues don’t have a wide range of buy-ins; is the buy-in filter possibly more interfering than helpful in this context?

  4. Honestly just generally the ability to set reminders directly in the Replay interface would be so helpful! IDK how many other people want/need this but my forgetful self sure would benefit :slight_smile:

That all sounds great, even if your league panel on you home page showed upcoming games with a reminder option, but that is a lot of code to write, maybe someday.
Being neurodivergent myself Luke, I will share a tip, if you are using a Windows PC there is an alarm feature that you can set for all your games that are on a regular schedule, just type clock into your search box in your taskbar, set the alarms for 15 min before game time, hit snooze when alarm goes off, giving you incremental 10 min reminders until game starts, and bobs your uncle. Here is what mine looks like

Great suggestion, thanks Michael!

I set bookmarks to the league lobbies, forums and leaderboards for quick access and set alarms on my phone for game times.
