NAME

WWW::Challonge::Tournament - A class representing a single Challonge tournament.

VERSION

Version 1.01

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Takes a hashref representing the tournament, the API key and the REST client and turns it into an object. This is mostly used by the module itself, to create a new tournament see "new_tournament" in WWW::Challonge.

        my $t = WWW::Challonge::Tournament->new($tournament, $key, $client);

update

Updates specific attributes of a tournament. For a full list, see "new_tournament" in WWW::Challonge. Unlike that method, however, all of the arguments are optional.

        $t->update({
                name => "sample_tournament_2",
                type => "swiss",
        });

destroy

Deletes the tournament from the user's account. There is no undo, so use with care!

        $t->destroy;

        # $t still contains the tournament, but any future operations will fail:
        $t->update({ name => "sample_tournament_2" }); # ERROR!

process_check_ins

This should be invoked after a tournament's check-in window closes, but before the tournament is started. It then does the following:

  1. Marks participants who have not checked in as inactive.

  2. Moves inactive participants to the bottom seeds.

  3. Transitions the tournament state from "checking_in" to "checked_in".

        $t->process_check_ins;

abort_check_in

Aborts the check-in process if the tournament's status is currently "checking_in" or "checked_in". This is useful as you cannot edit the tournament's start time during this state. It does the following:

  1. Makes all participants active and clears their "checked_in_at" times.

  2. Sets the tournament state from "checking_in" or "checked_in" to "pending".

        $t->abort_check_in;

start

Starts a tournament, opening up matches for score reporting. The tournament must have at least 2 participants. If successful, sets the state of the tournament to "underway".

        $t->start;

finalize

Finalises a tournament that has had all match scores submitted, rendering the results permenant. If successful, it sets the state to "complete".

        $t->finalize;

reset

Resets an "in_progress" tournament, deleting all match records. You can add, remove or edit users before starting again. Sets the state to "pending".

        $t->reset;

        my $attr = $t->attributes;
        print $attr->{name}, "\n";

participants

Returns an arrayref of WWW::Challonge::Participant objects for every participant in the tourney.

        my $p = $t->participants;
        for my $participant(@{$p})
        {
                ...

participant

Returns a single WWW::Challonge::Participant object representing the participant with the given unique ID.

        my $p = $t->participant(24279875);

new_participant

Adds a new participant to the tournament, and if successful returns the newly created WWW::Challonge::Participant object. The possible arguments are as follows.

name

The name of the participant. Required unless challonge_username or email are provided. Must be unique within the tournament.

challonge_username

If the participant has a valid Challonge account, providing a name will send them an invite to join the tournament.

email

If the email is attached to a valid Challonge account, it will invite them to join the tournament. If not, the 'new-user-email' attribute will be set, and an email will be sent to invite the person to join Challonge.

seed

Integer. The participant's new seed. Must be between 1 and the new number of participants. Overwriting an existing seed will bump up the other participants. If none is given, the participant will be given the lowest possible seed (the bottom).

misc

Miscellaneous notes on a player only accessible via the API. Maximum 255 characters.

        my $p = $t->new_participant({
                name => "test",
                seed => 4
        });

matches

Returns an arrayref of WWW::Challonge::Match objects for every match in the tourney. The tournament must be in progress before this will return anything useful.

        my $m = $t->matches;
        for my $match(@{$m})
        {
                ...

match

Returns a single WWW::Challonge::Match object representing the match with the given unique ID.

        my $m = $t->match(24279875);

__is_kill

Returns an error explaining that the current tournament has been destroyed and returns undef, used so a function doesn't attempt to operate on a tournament that has been successfully destroyed.

__args_are_valid

Checks if the passed arguments and values are valid for creating or updating a tournament.
