[Feature Request] Challonge API Integration

[VeeZG]

Is it possible to create a connection with G5API + Challonge. Many will find it useful to create their own tournaments. The names of the teams with challonge and g5api must match on the grid.

Hey!

I think I had thought about this way early in development because I know that the previous web panel had requests for API integration to either Challonge or Toornament. I initially attempted to try Toornament integration but was turned off by the fact I would also have to put branding on anywhere that would have used it. I know with Challonge it was a bit different and I wouldn't want it just to have matching names for teams, I would prefer to have it more robust. I know Challonge only supports having the team name last I checked, but it should be able to create a Season/Tournament with a given date range, and create even a basic team structure (could even have the flag in the name like "Team One US" and it would create a "Team One" in G5API with a US flag.

However, I don't have much time to work on this right now, but I'll leave this open as a suggested issue. Next time if you do have a request, please be sure to use the formatted ticket for a Feature Request, since more information can be relayed :)

Thanks!

Okay, I started looking into the API calls for Challonge and I do have a question for this. Would you have the teams created beforehand? I'm unsure how you would get team players inserted into the application itself... I think if you wanted something a bit more feature complete I think it would be better to go with Toornament as seen in this issue here PhlexPlexico/G5V#28

I'm still unsure on how to continue with this as Toornament does allow for full teams and information as well as match setups.

Going to close this issue as I think I've outlined a better approach in the linked issue.
