We've been using Companion in our LGS prerelease and we encountered one bug in the fifth round it paired two 4:0 players vs 3:1 and vs FREEWIN (odd filler spot) .... they haven't played vs each other. The app doesn't allow manual changes of pairings or creating new pairings for the round. So we were basicly screwed and had to do new pairings manualy.
Sorry to hear you've had this issue! That particular one has been confirmed fixed in the latest release.
Can anyone confirm whether or not we can now use this for comp rel tracking?
The Companion app isn't available for use at Competitive REL at this time. However the team is continuing to look into how Companion can fit into the larger competitive ecosystem in the future, and it's definitely something they're interested in doing.
Legitimately surprised this actually made it to release. It does actually look pretty nice. Somewhat surprised by the limit of 16 players - I wonder if that applies to in-store events, or just to hosting your own.
The 16 player limit is for at-home events. Events at stores can host as many players as event attendees.
