I haven't installed the newest version yet, but I have some issues/suggestions:

1) Tournament creator doesn't see an actual bracket. He/She just sees it in a list form. They are in the correct order so you can still figure out the bracket by going down the line and pairing them up, but this is extremely annoying if it is a large tournament. Also, if the tournament creator is also in the tournament, they don't have an option to submit their score the same way everyone else does. Of course they could just use their power to make themselves advance, but thats not what I want.

2) It doesn't handle byes correctly. For example, in a 12 person tournament, there should be 4 matches in round 1 in order to get the field down to an even 8 (with the rest of the people getting byes). Instead, it will will out a 16 person bracket from the top down, leaving a very awkward bracket, which results in very unfair byes in multiple rounds.

3) Tournaments start automatically when they fill up. There should be an option for it to start automatically, or for it to require the creator to start it manually. There are some tournaments I want to start on a certain date, or to start maybe the day after it fills up, or some other time other than as soon as it fills.

I think I had more suggestions, but they are escaping me. I will post if I think of some I believe to be useful.
