Good, but needs a few things to be worth the money – Brackelope: Tournament Builder Review

I downloaded this app to run my 42-team Strat-o-Matic tournaments, but was disappointed when I learned that you could only use 8 teams without paying the $10. I eventually broke down and bought it, and I'm happy with it, but it needs a few additions and a few fixes to be worth the $10. 1. Whenever I enter a team beginning with a number (ex. "1906 CHC") it lists 128 teams named "Player 1", "Player 2", etc. I then have to go and delete the teams I don't need and rename the ones that I do. Not sure if it's a bug or what. 2. PLEASE add support to e-mail brackets. That was one of the main reasons I bought this app, and I was very unhappy when I found out that the e-mail only included the "final results". 3. ADD CONSOLATION games. In my tournaments, the semifinal losers play in a 3rd place game, and there is currently no support for consolation games. 4. Add support for series. Again, in my tournaments, the championship is a 3-game series. It would also be nice if you added series and made them so they could have different lengths throughout the tournament (ex. MLB playoffs: 2 1-game wild-card games, winners move in to the 2nd round along with 6 other teams, 2nd round is a best-of-5, winners move to the championship series and then on to the world series, which are both best-of-7.) This way you could enter each individual score for each game in the series, instead of entering "2-1" which I did for the championship. 5. Add support for aggregate series such as in soccer. In soccer playoffs, there are usually 2-game series in which the team with more goals scored over the two games scored advances. (ex. Team A vs. Team B, A wins first game 1-0, and B wins second game 3-1, B advances on aggregate, 3-2.) 6. Add support for round-robin leagues. For example, you could have an 8 team league where everyone plays each other twice for a total of 14 games. The top 4 advance in to the playoffs. 7. Get rid of the average score, or have an option to not use it. It's really pointless in a sport such as baseball and a team plays only 1-2 games. I would rather see runs (points) scored and runs (points) allowed. Out of these, 6, 4, 3, and 2 are the highest on the list. Overall, I reccommend that you wait until the price drops or until new features such as those listed above are put into place.
