Suggestion : Increase Future Time Window for Game > Search Results
currently, on iOS device, it looks like future games show up in GAME > SEARCH results when inside of about a 30 hour time window (and past games within about 6 ½ days). I assume Android app is the same.
Not sure the initial logic and constraints for these settings and why different future and past, But If it is not a strain on technology or user experience, I would think about making both past and future the same timeframe for user understanding. I would also expect the forward window to be longer than 30 hours (say a week or at least 3 days to cover a whole weekend tournament ) . I am not sure the logic for more past than future, but if !:! does not make sense, what about 2 to 1 - say future 3 ½ days and past 7 days? Another idea (probably more technically challenging) would be to have user adjustable settings ....like under Settings > Favorites.. but apply to Game Search not just Favorites search.
Again, there may well be technical and performance reasons for the current settings. Just thought i would surface the idea for consideration.
.......
P.S> on a semi related note, I do not fully understand the filter rules for Scheduled and Near Me. Scheduled seems to be set to 5 hours, but was wondering if perhaps west coast time driven? and Near me finds some but not all games.
