gg | Justin: I ran brackets for an event about two weeks ago and there were a number of screens I had to tap through to find information I wanted before having to bactrack to the screen where I could manage the matches in my bracket. Most of my complaints are for the admin side of things where there ends up being a lot of scrolling and swiping in order to get to the information that I need .

Something like a slideout menu or hamburger drawer would be preferable than having to perform the extended swiping. Having to reorient some of the screens (bracket for instance )whenever I return to that screen is a bit of a hassle .

Part of this could be my misunderstanding or misusing the interface, but then it could be argued that the interface is non-intuitive.

To give a better defined answer, switching between the bracket for one event to the stream queue and back to the brackets would result in my having to reselect the event I had previously been viewing and possibly the pool/wave for that event as well.

qoqonuts: Having to switch back to the correct event / bracket is annoying, but seems like an entirely separate issue, no?

qoqonuts: I won't argue the intuitiveness of the interface. I'd love a specific example of a flow you find frustrating and let's see if we can work through it?

gg | Justin: I'll agree it's a separate issue, but it gets exacerbated on mobile where it takes more interactions to perform.

For a specific flow, I stepped through this on my device real quick:

Assuming you start from the event webpage and need to run brackets...

1) Switch to admin interface
2) Swipe left eight times to get to Brackets

3) 
Tap drop down to get to game selection


4) Tap drop down to get to pool you're running

5) 
Swipe left again to get to Stream Queue to check what’s queued up

6) 
Swipe right to get back to Brackets


7) Tap drop down to get to game selection

8) 
Tap drop down to get to pool

9) 
Swipe around to find match to report


It's largely the scrolling and needing to get back to the specific sub-section of an event I'm responsible for that is unwieldy.

I'm aware the Match Dashboard has some options to help alleviate that, but it suffers from the same lack of remember where I was last and needing to reapply the same filters I had prior to going elsewhere.

Switching between the tabs can be a common occurrence depending on the event (some players want to see where they are in the bracket, runners need to know if we need a match for stream, what matches are available to run right now, etc.) and having to re-set all the info slows down that process.
