Excellent mod!

We're using this to run just a team ladder right now, with possibly a few monthly tournaments that tie into the ladder standings. That all is good. What I'd like to be able to do though, is...

1. Turn off permissions to view, join or create Leagues, like you can the other two modes.

2. Set a category up for only Ladders & Tournaments only. Every other combination is there except this.

I may be missing something else that adds the ability to completely turn off any reference to League, but I those are the two that stood out to me.

Thanks!

Couple more things I've noticed:

- If you turn off permissions for "Tournament Moderator", you lose the ability to add or edit Categories. This is confusing if you don't intend to run any tournaments.

- When you have Tournaments turned off, the option for it still shows up under "Category For" in the edit category page. Perhaps you should enable all 3 modes separately in the admincp, and only show the ones enabled in the edit category page with check boxes to select.

- Would like the option to only show team tags on the team page, and not in front of the player's username. Most of the users on my forum include their tags in the username anyway.

- On the ladder display page, the tournaments tab should not show up if you have tournament view/join turned off.

- When you're running a team ladder, the phrase "Players" should change to "Teams".

- When you have Tournament view/join permission disabled, the help tabs for that should disappear. Same goes for Leagues once we're able to set permissions for that mode.

Hi,

maybe this is a stupid question but... can this be driven by a game using http API calls?

Thanks,
