User 1

• Assumed that if the join period was left blank that it would close immediately and only
  invited people would be a part of the tournament.
• Assumed that if the join period was left blank that it would close immediately and only invited people would be a part of the tournament.
• Wanted some sort of confirmation that they had completed creating a tournament

• There was no “JOIN“ button on the tournament info. page, which led to confusion about how to join a tournament.
• Did not think that the separation between your tournaments and global tournaments was necessary for the search results. Suggested just have all results on one page.

• User was confused about where they should click to update score, on tournament image/where in the round robin image vs. on the expanding sidebar.
• Tried to click on the names visible in the tournament image.
• Felt that it seemed odd to have both a score and winner/loser option.

• User was confused about where they needed to go to manage tournament details (i.e. boot a player, make a player an admin)
• Was not sure if the player names were clickable.
• Wanted feedback as to whether or not their action was completed. (i.e. if player was actually booted or made an admin)

•  No issue here

• User felt that the bi-panel homepage setup was not needed.  However, also mentioned that this could be due to the tasks given, since most of them did not require interaction with the notifications half of the homepage.

User 2

• confusion about the significance of the join period.
• wanted confirmation that the task was done.

•  confusing regarding the results of the search.  Suggested having both search results from your tournament list and all global results.
• Order of password popup & tournament info page seemed confusing.  Suggested that we change the order so that you click join on the tournament info page, which then takes you to the password popup.

• Clicked on the score box on the tournament page.
• Questioned if both score both and checking off winner/loser was both necessary.

•  Wanted some sort of feedback as to whether or not Moe was made an admin.
• Suggested having an icon next to people's names to differentiate b/w player vs. admin
• Removing player should result in immediate removable of name from the player list.

•   No issue here

•  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.

•  Confusion regarding the results of the tournament search. Initially thought that the tournament search box was for on your own tournaments.  Also, did not click on the see all results.
• Tried clicking on the tournament icon located on the header bar.
• Suggested potentially having tabs on the search results to differentiate b/w local and global search results.

•  Confusion regarding how to dispute a score/ who is in charge of updating scores if incorrect.  Suggested possibly having both approve and reject buttons for the score update popup.

•  Wondered why the list of players/tournament info sliding sidebar was not visible by default.
• Suggested different ways to draw attention to the side bar including: (1) animating sliding out/in (2) having a boucing/glow effect when initally loads (3) checking the browser width & determining if there is enough screen real estate to show both the tournament info and the tournament visual.

•   No issue here

•  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?

•  Added a "Create" button - would be replaced with the text "Created" once clicked
• Initially grayed out "Close Join Period" button until tournament was created

•  Added the two panel search results - top panel for your tournaments, bottom panel for all tournaments
• Clicking the tournament from search results would bring user to tournament info page instead of immediately prompting the user to join the tournament
• Clicking on join from tournament info page would pop up the password prompt

•  Changed the order of the "winner" radio buttons and "score" text boxes
• Added "optional" next to the score column
• Added "Reject" button onto the notification
• Removed ability to close the notification without accepting or rejecting the request

•  Added checkboxes to the names
• Color coded the names
• Animate side bar to show when page loads.  Disappears immediately after

•  No changes

• Gave the Tournaments panel on homepage more real estate
• Took out messages and tournament icons on the header bar
• removed search bar for notifications
• Removed send message capability
• Can't close notifications without taking prompted actions (e.g., "Ok", "Approve", "Reject")

User 2

•  Confused with their name vs tournament name on form
• Thought friend name and emails corresponded with each other 
• Suggested to change "Close join period" button to "Start Tournament"

•  Suggested to put "Join" button on top of page in case description was very long, might not know there is a "Join" button if not immediately visible

•  Ignored notification
• Suggested a visible state change after the score was sent for approval

•  Wondered why side bar would ever disappear if there's space for it

User 3

•  Also entered their own name instead of tournament name
• Didn't know what password box was for, skipped it because noticed it wasn't required

• Suggested put the invited members' names in the members box after invitations were sent

• Initially confused what the search bar at top did - would it search his tournaments or all tournaments
• Confused with the layout of the search results page - wasn't consistent with other sites he used.  Said he doesn't read all the labels as a heavy internet user

•  Only user in this iteration to notice notification message
• Didn't know what tournament the match was for, didn't want to approve it because he didn't know
• Didn't know which box in the round-robin grid to press first (he could have done either)

• He did accurately guess what each color was

• No issues
