Nobody Leaves the Oche

NewTon DC Tournament Manager v5.0.1-beta.2 — March 27, 2026

Overview

NewTon DC Tournament Manager v5.0.1-beta.2 rethinks the Chalker's post-match flow. The scoreboard is now home — a winning checkout lands you back where you started, not on a separate Match Complete screen. The match is saved to history immediately. You review, you start the next one, you move on. No detours.

Scoreboard is Home

When the winning checkout is confirmed, the Chalker stays on the scoreboard. A green banner declares the winner. The match is saved to history at that moment — no button press required.

From the completed scoreboard:

STATS — opens the full stats view: averages, score ranges, leg scoresheets
NEW — settings modal for the next match, pre-populated with the previous settings
HISTORY — browse previous matches; back returns to the scoreboard

The old Match Complete screen — with its Rematch, New Match, History, and Result QR buttons — is gone.

Stats Screen: Back Arrow and Result QR

The stats screen now has a back arrow in the top-left header, consistent with the history detail screen. The bottom is reserved for the Result QR button — full-width, prominent — shown only for QR-assigned matches. For non-QR matches the bottom is clean.

Winning Leg Locked After Commitment

Scores in the winning leg can no longer be edited after the checkout is confirmed. Consistent with how all other completed legs work — once a leg is done, it is locked. The checkout modal's Cancel button is the designed moment of regret.

QR Badge in Match History

QR-assigned matches show a small QR badge next to the player names in the history list, making it easy to identify which matches were run through the Tournament Manager assignment flow.

Files Changed

chalker/styles/chalker.css — .match-complete-banner, .btn-full, .qr-badge styles
