Usability Problems

Possible Design Changes

  • Create a Tournament
    • Problem locating "Create Tournament" button at the bottom of the page.  Thought it should/would be at the top of the page next to the Tournaments label.  His monitor  (Monitor was fairly large and since there wasn't much resulting in little content at the bottom of the page his eyes had issues finding the button.  After he eventually found the create page, everything seemed straightforward with one exception: , so eyes were not drawn to tournament button).
    • When inviting members, user expected that pressing "Enter" on the keyboard would result in adding another member.  However, the names had to be comma delimited
    •  
    •  
    •  
    • , where in fact the names had to be comma delimited.  This is a usability issue because there are no clear instructions that names should be separated by commas.

  • Update a Tournament
    • user thought that he had to check the boxes on the side panel to update the players' score.  Was slightly confused when nothing happened after checking the boxes.  As soon as he hovered over the round-robin matches matrix it was very obvious.  No problems with the score input.

  • confusion about the significance of the join period.
  • wanted confirmation that the task was done.
  •  Is there a concept of friend?

User 3

  •  Confusion about the difference b/w email and friends on the invite members popup.
  • Confusion about the necessity of filling out the join period.
  • Wanted feedback to confirm that the tournament was actually created.  Perhaps have a create button.
  •  Don't have affordances that do nothing.
  • What do all the icons in the header bar do? i.e. Is the logout button going to turn off my computer?
