1. How are seasons intended to be used?
2. Can I name my seasons? Could I have a Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall season? And if not through a form to name seasons, what db table field are they in?
Only bbcode is allowed, but there is a [table] bb code available.
hmmm ... I tried bbcode in the ladder description. The bb codes did not convert. Instead they were displayed.
Also re. teams - I have one person creating two man teams. Once he adds the two participants he makes them both leaders, and removes himself. But the challenge notifications are still going to the creator (ie. founder). Even though he has left the team.
One of the requests I have had is "can ELO carry over from ladder to ladder?". Which I don't think it does. Is there, or could there be, an option to do this?
Also, I haven't figured out seasons yet. But It would be even better if I could make ELO carry over from ladder to ladder within a season. Could that be possible?

There's no option at the moment, but it's something i might add an option for in the future.
Seasons allow you to link different ladders together. Here's a video on youtube about seasons

Seasons use their ladder title so if you wanted spring, summer, etc. create ladders called
Blue Ladder Spring 2011,
Blue Ladder Fall 2011,
Blue Ladder Summer 2011, etc.
I have not fully tested this but i have recently installed a fresh version
Is it possible to let team leaders submit the results of a tournament ?
If both teams have different scores can it send a PM to all users with permissions to edit scores
If scores are correct from both teams can it automatically put the winner through and add the scores
And if possible a League system would be great, I would even pay towards that
