I guess this is a feature request....

A lot of sites have different game modes/types or cater for xbox or ps3 but the teams are all lumped together is it possible the teams section could be in categories so that if you're a ps3 gamer you can click ps3 teams or indeed if you're an xbox user, there is quite a range of things that categories could be used for, football categories fps categories etc etc.

Any release notes fro 504 and 505 ?

[bananalive]

Hi Banana,

Just a quick question to you, now you have a premium version does that mean you will now add feature requests from paid users?

Loving this mod and look forward to your reply

Little embarrassed to ask this... but how on earth to do you create teams.

I've created both a Tournament and & League and I can't for the life of my see anything that says 'create a team' or similar.

Permissions have been set properly.

Cheers

There is a drop down menu which says "Teams" when you click it at the bottom of the drop down it says add new, check that users have the ability to add new teams I have admin set at 100 and users at 3 or something.
