I tried to install this mod, but after trying to get into the "Competition" I've got this massage:
Database error in vBulletin 4.1.6:

MySQL Error : Table 'wrestlin_forum.vb_tmnt_categories' doesn't exist

Does anyone of you know how to resolve this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
This error refers to a lack of a mysql database table used in this modification. Did you import the product file?
Well, since the OP said post suggestions/comments, here we go
I havent installed this yet, but i'm thinking about it because i need a Ladder system.
Since i'm from a video-game forum, we usualy use TIO tournament organizer, to create tournaments, and it has been mentioned thorughout this thread a couple of time (mostly concerning the double elim. bracket)
Would it be possible to make this Add-on be compatible with TIO files? would be awesome for me!
also: since i only need the Ladder system if Tio isn't supported: can you completely turn off most of the Tournament features to use the Ladders only, or will the Tournament features still be visible everywhere, even if not used.
