I tried to install in 4.2 and it doesnt appear to work, all permissions set, it didnt put a link in navbar and Im not sure how to check by typing a manual url because I dont know where to go, no links in styles.

EDIT: Nevermind it does appear to work but it doesnt auto the link I had to add it manually after I found out the manual url to type .
I will be testing it out. I will let you know if there is any big bugs.

Hi Banana,

Hoping for integration of the following competition format:

-World Cup Style (Similar to FIFA Tournaments, if you watch soccer).
-Team are separated into groups. Group A plays each other, group b play each other and so on. Top two teams from Group A then play Top two teams from Group B and so on.
-Support for a minimum of 32 teams.
-Admin should have the ability to shuffle teams around groups

Example: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive...hes/index.html (difference being groups should support at least 4 teams)


Also, are the following changes possible for the league system:

- support for "groups" of teams in ladder mode
- groups should be definable, ie: groups of 4, groups of 8, groups of 16
- each team in group plays eachother once during the season
- top 2 teams of each group go into finals, this is calulacted based on W/L/D THEN head 2 head resultsTHEN round count
- if there is only 1 group, top 4 teams go into finals - calculated the same way
- groups should also be manually created and sorted by admins

You believe the URL is www.yoursite.com.au/forum/competitions.php

obviously replace /forum/ with the name of your specific directory.

I just bought your vB Tournaments, Ladders & Leagues Manager Premium v5.x.x and I was wondering if that came with the Premium Features:

Support Tickets
Leagues into Knockout Stage
Live Match Finder.


Also, is there a spanish version of this mod?

I don't offer any languages/translations, but you may be able to find one somewhere else, if there's spanish version of vbulletin.org

Hi Banana,

As a generic user I'm struggling to find where teams can challenge other teams in the ladder system. From all I can see, only Competition Mod can 'insert ladder challenges".

Help please (also, please review post above)

[EBZ2010]

I have mentioned this a few pages back but the downloads on premium do not reflect the latest 5.2.2 which shows on Facebook. Can this get updated so I can upgrade please!!
