I am guessing you can only see these brackets when the tournament is over

The brackets display for single elimination tournaments once the tournament has filled all its slots. i.e. when the tournament is in progress and when the tournament has finished

AH, ok thanks, I was wondering why I couldnt see it. *Installed* *Nominated*

but it doesnt... hmm... and a german version isn't aviable either (on vbulletin-germany.org)

I just set up our first 16 person tourney, all the slots are full, but no brackets. When I click the tourney in progress, I just get a list of names.

Is there a maintenance step that needs to happen to generate the brackets?

*I changed the type to 1v1 and they appeared. I'm wondering why LMS type doesn't show brackets?

LMS stands for Last Man Standing... there are no brackets for this kind of tournament

I foudn a new issue with this mod... it deals with tournaments that are not evenly split in powers of two. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc). This one tournament I have, has 17 players; which means it has 1 extra player outside of the power of 2. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, simply by stratifying the brackets, no player would ever get more than one bye. However, with the way this system constructs the bracket, this 1 extra player gets a bye ALL THE WAY TO GRAND FINALS. This should be fixed. Or at least, put in a way that I can remove a player from a tournament to bring it down to 16, after the tournament has already started...

The way you fix this is actually relatively easy... instead of filling in bracket spots from 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... you fill them up as follows: 1, 3, 5, 7, etc, and then only start filling in the even spots when all the odd spots have been filled. So with 17 players in a tournament, you need to have a bracket setup for 32 players, not 17 (15 players will get a bye in first round, but no one will ever get more than 1 bye). Its easy to do the calculations to know how many bracket slots you need too:

2 ^ ceil(##/sqrt(2)) = number of slots you need

2 ^ ceil(14/sqrt(2)) = 16
2 ^ ceil(17/sqrt(2)) = 32
2 ^ ceil(45/sqrt(2)) = 64

Can this be used with v3.8.1 ? This would help out a lot with our guild site pvp games.

Yes, so far there have been no compatibility issues with vb v3.8.x

Isn't there also a German version (translation) on vbulletin-germany.org is to be found? I think many Germans would be pleased.
