It's going to be a one click sign-up like a ladder.

To show player names you'll have to edit template 'tmnt_ladder_display', and player name some in this bit of html code:

	<vb:each from="matches" value="game">
	<div style="display: table-row; clear: both;">
		<div class="blockrow" style="display: table-cell;">
			<span class="date">{vb:raw game.date}&nbsp;<span class="time">{vb:raw game.time}</span></span>
		</div>

How ? I don't understound

I could explain or give an example and should leave the code to display postulates?

Hey, I just added Full House Poker to my competitions page and tried setting up a 10 player FFA poker tournament, but I can't do that because there's no option for 10 players. Maybe you could allow us to imput our own # of players for a FFA in one of the future releases? I'm fine using the 8 player FFA for now.
