Some good QOL features for BGA, especially as BGA admin keep adjusting layout of pages of the site against the preferences of users. I like dark mode, plus the list of tournaments you're currently registered for is useful (since it doesn't appear anywhere on BGA).

I installed it for the dark mode but the additional QoL features make this extension invaluable. The ability to "delete" games from list, I've always wanted that feature and now I have it. Thumbs up!
