The UI looks nice. Here are my two cents:

1) Go players are more used to dan/kyu ranks than ELO ratings. It might be better to display ranks besides the ratings.
2) Does it support Correspondence games? Since there are not many players there yet, supporting correspondence games might at least increase the number of ongoing games, which might attract more players in return.
3) Even better if it supports some more tournament types than the Ladder. You may refer to OGS/DGS/LittleGolem for potential tournament implementations.
4) It would be better if you can view the game history of the players.

Thanks gamesorry for taking a look!
  • 1) We've gotten the feedback for showing dan/kyu before. We've wanted all the games to follow the same rating system, and so stuck with Elo. We can, however, consider showing a d/k rating for Go along with Elo.
  • 2) We do allow registered players to select 24-hour timers. This allows you to play a match over weeks/months :)
  • 3) We are considering some different tournament types, including round robins and single/double eliminations - we should have this within the next month or two
  • 4) All non-private matches are saved for players, and can be viewed through the profile pages
