Challonge community issues

[AlphaKretin]

If a tournament is relocated to a challonge community, even if Emcee owns that community, it can no longer access the tournament by the API.

You can list all tournaments filed under a community by providing the subdomain querystring parameter to the list tournaments endpoint.

This subdomain is obtained as the owner or admin of a community by reading it off the settings https://challonge.com/communities/PERMALINK/community_settings/edit and works even without PRO. It is NOT the same as the permalink.

The per-tournament endpoints will work if the {tournament} object being accessed in the URL is of the form :subdomain-:tournament_url according to documentation.

Thus, the community can also be programmatically modified by providing the tournament[subdomain] field to the update endpoint if the authenticating user has write access.

Questions:

• is write access being a collaborator or is admin access required?
• is accepting an invite to the community a manual, automatic, or programmatic process?

Read is public so bots do not need to be a collaborator to read info about tournaments in a community (list or show individual)

The account must accept an invite to have write permissions, or the response body will be

{"errors":["You only have read access to this tournament"]}

[kevinlul]

Without admin permissions, changing the name is allowed but deleting the tournament is not allowed.

See #395, almost certainly not putting more effort into Challonge integrations.
