Searching for tournaments (https://www.itftennis.com/en/tournament-calendar/world-tennis-masters-tour-calendar/)

  • When searching, you can filter/sort by date or country….. but not by Category, or Surface
  • The Name of the Tournament is always a concatenation of the City and the Category, so in effect is superfluous 
  • Some of the Cities are in CAPS, some not.
  • The Country filter doesn't work terribly well.  Specifically, if I am searching for "Cyprus"  yet have selected a month where there are no tournaments in Cyprus, then the search fails to recognize Cyprus.  In addition your search function can be configured to capture structured to look for other a couple of ways of spelling a country.  For example, I looked for “England”, and found nothing.   It should suggest Great Britain.   Similarly United States doesn't trigger, the code is USA.  However you can easily configure where your country database has 2 or 3 alternative search names (hidden) that will then show “Great Britain” if I were to type any of the following "UK, GB, England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland etc)

Registering/Applying for a tournament

Checking out the draw for tournament (this page→https://www.itftennis.com/en/tournament/mt400-limassol/cyp/2024/s-mt400-cyp-2024-004/draws-and-results/) 

  • Each tournament has a single URL for all the draws (Mens, Womens, Mixed…. All age groups), and they control the display with Javascript 
    • Example: https://www.itftennis.com/en/tournament/mt400-limassol/cyp/2024/s-mt400-cyp-2024-004/draws-and-results/
  • That means you can't share the URL to direct family/friends/partners for specific draw. You have to tell them to navigate to say "Mens / Singles, Over 45)
  • Moreover, the site doesn't remember anything about the user, so refreshing the Age category resets the gender of the user. 
    • I would recommend tracking the default with a cookie or alternatively providing a unique URL (trade-off is that it is slightly to flick between tournaments, but most users are not doing that)
  • The order of play page doesn't optimally use the screen width. On high resolution screens you could see 12 courts simultaneously, rather than clicking across screens
    • Similarly the court numbering at the top is confusing. 
    • Granted on a phone it needs to be swipe right for
