That is correct, they both have the same score so they will have same position in ladder: 1st. Once they play their scores will change and hence their ranks will change.

Tournament Moderator can create/ edit/ delete categories for both ladders+tournaments.

Categories already have descriptions

Why are there no bug?

Hey bananalive, if you need help with the Double Elimination bracket logic, here is the tournament software standard in all video game tournaments.

http://allisbrawl.com/tio/

The name is TIO, and it is use in most video game tournaments across the United States. You can simulate brackets and get the logic ported to your VB mod.

Thanks.

Upgrading will not affect any ongoing tournaments.
