New Tournament Shelf in Trophy Showcase

THANK YOU CHESS.COM!!!!

I just saw that you added a top shelf to the Trophy Showcase for Tournament Trophies!  I had mentioned it on the "wishlist" thread, but never saw it on any of the "priority" lists.  I understood why the other items were higher priority, but I was hoping my idea wouldn't get forgotten amongst the hundreds of posts in that thread.

Now I see that my vision has become a reality!  You guys ROCK!!!  You rocked a year ago when I first found out about you and you just keep getting better and better!!  Keep up the good work!

Now I just need to win a Tournament so I can display the medal in my showcase.

:D

it was actually always there, but a very silly bug kept it from showing up ;)

Good I'm just about to win my first tourney. Only one game left, against a low seed. I'm just gonna offer a draw to see what the trophy looks like.

 Is that the same silly bug that's keeping Custom Trophies from being displayed on the Tournament Homepage?  Pesky little thing ain't it?  Not really sure where the best place on the page would be for them, but it would be nice to see them displayed as an incentive during the tournament (or even during registration) rather than only after the tournament is complete.

Actually, it looks like Custom Trophies are not displayed on the Tournament Homepage even AFTER the tournament is done.  The following tournament obviousy had Custom Trophies set up, and you can see the little pints of Guiness reading 1st, 2nd, 3rd place in each of the players Trophy Showcase, but at the top of the Tournament Homepage, you still see the regular Gold, Silver, & Bronze Medals.  Pesky little bug!

I won my tourney i see the trophy and its all the way at the top =]

billium - we may have to wait until the next custom tournament ends. we had to script a fix which didn't include this :(

Thanks Erik,

You guys ROCK!!!

What are you talking about?  I have received trophies and I have given trophies.  You must be talking about some other trophy, but I am not sure how to see it?  Could you enlighten me?  Thanks

Hey JediMaster,

Yeah, we're talking about Tournament Trophies rather than the trophies you give or receive at the end of a game (or for fun).  There is now a shelf in the Trophy Showcase for these medals and/or custom trophies (if you've won any of course).  Here is an example of a trophy case with a lot of tournament medals in it:

You'll also notice that one of his 3rd place tournament trophies is not a bronze medal like the rest of them, but a pint of Guiness instead.  That was obviously for a tournament that Pistoleer started up, cuz he likes to spread the Irish cheer.  These custom trophies are set up by the TD at the beginning of the tournament and cannot be given out.  They must be earned.  Unfortately they cannot be seen on the tournament home page yet either, but they're obviously working on that.

Does anyone know how to make these Custom Trophy's?

What is the size?    What is the format?  

Someone must know!!!.........PLEASE SHARE DETAILS..........So all us thicko's can enjoy another part of this fabulous site.

I don't remember what the size restrictions are, but when you set up the tournament, as you're setting your minimum requirements, and number of players, and time per move, etc... There is a box which says "Use Custom Trophies."  When you check this box, you will be prompted to upload the pictures you want to use as 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place.  I used some wallpapers that I downloaded off the net and didn't need to resize them or alter their format, so it's pretty straight forward.
