Is there not a submit result button when viewing it

Suggestions:

1. Add a 2nd place amount on tournaments for payout. There is only payout to 1st place!
2. Could it be possible to decrease per credit purchase when purchased in bulk. Example: 1 credit equals $1.50 while 5 credits may equal $6.75 and so forth up to max credits 50 equal $50.00 which would be $1.00 pc.
3. Can Teams have an admin lock function to disallow new members from joining or being added.
4. Can PS3 or XBOX uerbars be incorporated for team members that use their PS3 and XMB id's. This is highly used on sites such as Gamebattles, and Fraggednation.
5. I know ladders have the ability to add their own rules but can you allow tournaments to have there own rules tab as well just like ladders.
6. Can you have it so instead of a certain amount keep to the house for tournaments it be a percentage.
7. Allow for admin to delete a member from a team. There is no choice to remove members from teams. Example: My website only allows 1 participant per IP Address, and let's say a leader created multiple accounts on the forum and adds them to the team. Once admin detects the multiple accounts and deletes them a blank spot stays on the teams roster. There is no way to remove that blank spot and we are left asking team leader to delete them. I would like to be able to delete names from teams please!

So many previous questions from page 95 and 96 have went unanswered. Could we get some clarifications on those questions and/or suggestions please?
