Are you able to please let me know where in the template I need to add the code to do this?

Also, feature request:

Add side block for team activity. Team 1 just registered - PlayerA just joined Team 1; and so on.

Edit template: tmnt_teammember

You can create single elimination with upto 512 players. LMS unlimited players. Round robins upto 18 players. Double elimination upto 8 players.

You would need to edit includes/function_tll_brackets.php

You could always link tournaments together...

Just would be great to have a very simple low power use chat shout system for club captains or players to speak about games or arrange them on the system.

Gamelobbys... a chat system where people can arrange matched and challange directly ect...

For ex. Look at Virgin,GB, ect

I think you're asking for more problems, than it would be worth.
If you have a chatbox, just use that, if you don't have one, just install one on the competitions page.?
Much less maintenance then running a complete separate/extra chatbox, or adding one into this mod.

Besides if you want anything more than simple/quick chat, you would want that in your forums.. no.?
