  1. Fixed

    Tournament creation fixes

    A handful of teams in our default library had duplicate entries that crashed tournament creation when picked. All cleaned up.

    • Fixed a 500 error when typing certain team names (e.g. Luton Town, Croatia, Ghana, Ukraine) into the team list.
    • Tournament creation is now atomic — a partial failure no longer leaves orphan tournaments behind.
    • Hardened the score-save endpoint against the same class of bug.
  2. New

    Event Pass — $5 for 7 days

    A one-off way to unlock all Pro features for a single event, without committing to a monthly subscription.

    • Buy an Event Pass for $5 and unlock Organizer Pro for 7 days.
    • Free tier player cap raised from 4 to 8 — most lounge nights now fit on the free plan.
    • Premium has been renamed to Organizer Pro across the site.
  3. Improved

    Short shareable URLs and World Cup templates

    Tidier links for sharing tournaments anywhere, plus pre-filled rosters for the big international competitions.

    • Every tournament now has a short URL like elounges.io/t/aB3xY7/.
    • Pre-filled World Cup 2026 bracket templates available from /worldcup/.
    • An upsell prompt now appears when you bump into the free-tier player cap, so you know what unlocking the next tier gives you.
  4. Improved

    Brand-new design across the whole site

    Every page on elounges.io has been redesigned. Faster, cleaner, easier on mobile.

    • Refreshed marketing pages, sign-up flow, and account pages.
    • Tournament view (fixtures, table, knockout) rebuilt from the ground up.
    • Create-tournament form simplified with steppers and inline validation.
  5. Fixed

    Bug fixes and security hardening

    First wave of fixes after returning to active development.

    • Fixed a 500 when free-tier users tried to exceed the player limit.
    • Added standard security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy).
    • Rotated and externalised embedded credentials.

Older changes (pre-2026 reboot) aren't listed — the project sat dormant for ~3 years before active development resumed in April 2026.
