The thing about this is that it's gonna be irrelevant once (https://osu.ppy.sh/community/tournaments) takes community tournaments into account. Still though, hopefully you could make this work.

...or people can just look at the tournaments subforum. It's easier, and it doesn't take too much time finding one (it's takes like 20 seconds to look at a forum post to see if you qualify and like five minutes to see currently active ones.) Committed tournament players don't need this thing since they know tournaments anyway. Filthy casuals benefit from this better. Kappa

Idk if biweekly would be enough especially for first come first serve basis tournies but cool concept nonetheless

Yeah, some tournaments seem to just open and close registration within a few days. But I don't want to spam people on the list too much either, and biweekly seems enough for most tournaments.

Thank you!

Also, the "-", "[" and "]" in your username messed up my REGEXREPLACE, so your email was wrong... Says that "osu!taiko" is matching for you for example. I'm terribly sorry lol. I've fixed it now, and will send you a correct email (sorry for the double.. D: !).

No Problem, good that you take care of it so quickly.

Nice feature, I will try to invite Tournament hosts I know into this!

On the spreadsheet in the Tournament tab, some country limitations get cut off because the column is too small.

Thanks!

And yeah, that's on purpose. I mean, the country limit for the Asian Taiko Showdown 2018 would look like this: "AF, BD, BT, IO, BN, KH, CN, TP, GU, HK, IN, ID, JP, KZ, KP, KR, KG, LA, MO, MY, MV, MN, MM, NR, NP, MP, PK, PW, PH, SG, LK, TJ, TW, TH, TM, SU, UZ, VN, AF, BD, BT, IO, BN, KH, CN, TP, GU, HK, IN, ID, JP, KZ, KP, KR, KG, LA, MO, MY, MV, MN, MM, NR, NP, MP, PK, PW, PH, SG, LK, TJ, TW, TH, TM, SU, UZ, VN, RU".

And I don't want to make my cells that big. The values in the cell are still usefwl for filtering eligibility of players while sending emails, though. And on the spreadsheet, you can just see that there's something in the country limit cell, and therefore know to check the forum post or just the tournament name.

Updated the script so that it sends emails to players who have never received an email before, even if no tournaments match them and they've answered "Yes, I only want emails about tournaments that match me".

This is because if they don't get an email saying "No tournaments matching you at the moment, check back later!" the first day they sign up, they'll be left wondering whether the script even works or if they signed up correctly.

Updated the script so that you can list competitions that aren't necessarily tournaments, like for example the MotW - Map of the Week [Monthly] competition. Just answer "yes" to the question about whether it's always open, and don't set a deadline.

Oh, and I may have accidentally told the four latest players who subscribed that the MotW competition ends registrations at 1st of January, 1970... So sorry about that! That has been fixed now.

__

Update2: I made it so that it no longer filters preferences for "type of tournament", since I think that doesn't really capture what players want to filter out/in, and usually the tournament title indicates what type it is anyway. If a host makes HD tournament, then the title will usually be "HD tournament" something.

A type error while I was testing something caused me to send wrong emails to the last 5 subscribers. I'm very sorry, and I've sent correct emails now. Sorry for the doubles! >.<

Biggest messup yet. A lot of bad things happened when the spreadsheet scripts exceeded maximium limit for execution time. I've made some changes to make sure that doesn't happen again until the number approaches ~700 subscribers, so it should be fine for now.

I'm really sorry, but can you describe to me how you unsubscribe? Did you check your email and edited your original form, check the "Do you want to delete this entry?" and then press "submit" again? I tested it now and it should work.

Don't worry if it doesn't work, I'll just manually delete you from the list.

Edit: Actually, I've changed the form since you made your submission. Maybe that is the problem, even though I don't think it should be.

I made a new form and checked the "unsubscribe" thingy.
Now I edited my original form and checked the "unsubscribe" thingy.

UPDATE: I'm no longer checking the tourny subforum daily in order to update the OTW list, so I can't guarantee that the list will be up to date (but some hosts still add their tournaments on their own). If anyone wants to take over maintenance of the list, send me a message. It usually takes 20 seconds to check the subforum every day, but can take up to 15 minutes if you need to enter several tournaments per day (e.g. because you have to translate the forum posts, taking extra time).
