It would be nice to have the ability to display a tournament to the public, however close registrations until a certain date. Possible?

It's date of the tournament.

Also is it possible to have a delay on switching teams to stopping hopping.

Also when submitting a result is there a way to remove the box "Submit Screenshot".

You could use free agents. Players sign up as free agents and are then invited/choose a team.


Remove from template tmnt_ladder_submitscore

	<div style="display: table-row;">
		<div class="blockrow" style="display: table-cell;">
			<label for="screen">{vb:rawphrase ladder_screenshot_proof}</label>
		</div>
		<div class="blockrow" style="display: table-cell;">
			&nbsp;
		</div>
		<div class="blockrow" style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: top;">
			<input name="screen" type="text" id="screen" size="40" maxlength="255" value="{vb:var game.screen}" class="textbox" />
		</div>
	</div>

{vb:raw post.field12} doesn't seem to want to work


edit: I actually think is the vb:if not working...

<vb:if condition="$post['field12']">

any thoughts?

The variable will be different so

{vb:raw member.field12} instead of {vb:raw post.field12}

You'll need a change to the query too, for additional profile fields, try v5.8.3
