Didn't work, however I am able to install 2.5.7 flawlessly. Trying to go anywhere beyond that does not finish the install. I noticed that the way everything was done from 2.5.8 and beyond in the product xml is greatly different from 2.5.7 and before.. not sure what exactly changed but looking at the code a lot of stuff did and I think for some reason that's why it's not working.

I tried upgrading from 2.5.7 to 2.5.8 and it did (didn't fully install but the new product went through..) however then I get an sql error:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT userid, id, time, title FROM ODVBtmnt_announcements ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0,;

Guessing that's from the line 179 in 2.5.8's product code:
$anns = $db->query_read("SELECT userid, id, time, title FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."tmnt_announcements ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, $noanns");

So yeah not sure what you changed in the product xml from 2.5.7 to above.. but for some reason it's the reason I can't use this anymore =\

Hi bananalive,

Is there way to prevent 1 person from getting an Advance to finals?

If 9 players or an Odd amount sign up for a tournament, 1 person will be in the final without even doing a battle, anyway we could make the system more fair.

the script should follow a system like this.
if there are 9 players or an odd amount, then the odd amount should battle first. [ Example:

P1
P2
P3
P4
P5
Since we only have 5 players, then the tournament brackets should start with 2 players battling first
P1 vs P2 <==== the winner will advance to make a more even and fair Bracket

P1
P2
P3
P4
Now the brackets are even. and no one gets an advance to finals.

See below Example.
