Release log
New stats introduced. Rank movements added based on form in the last three matches.
UI improvements. Apple-inspired UI.
Added players, changed default logic to forfeit, added house rules and fun facts.
Appended two players. User Map appended.
Bypass added for all users due to timeout issue.
Bypass added for select iOS users.
Accuracy added; Battle Grid shortened to show only last five matches.
Users can vote for the next five matches, not only the upcoming match. Known issue: It takes 3-4 seconds for a vote to register. Users can only vote once. Clear vote functionality was being debated because of lag.
Default votes now use a cron job checking every five minutes whether the deadline has arrived. Votes appear in the Battle Grid as soon as the deadline passes.
Fixed date parsing, automated date handling and moved the logged-out section outside the main loop.
