What's New
One-tap online registration, distance from your location, and a much deeper filter set on the tournament list.
- Register Online — when a coordinator has wired up online sign-up for their tournament, a green "Register Online" button on the detail screen opens the signup page in your browser; an "Online Sign-up" pill on each card flags which tournaments accept online registration so you can spot them at a glance
- Use my location — opt in (with an upfront explanation of what it's for and where the data goes) to see how far away each tournament is; toggle off any time from the filter panel, no account required
- Distance pills & closest-first sort — when location is on, every tournament card shows the distance from you and the list automatically reorders closest-first, on both Home and My Calendar
