Basically I would like to use it for when I have multiple tournaments going at the same time, I would want my admins to be on live support so if any team or player has an in game issue or disputed match they can get live support if its "online" otherwise they need to submit a support ticket.

And maybe when the user clicks on the live support they have to quickly fill out some basic information of what they will need help with/ team / tournament / ladder etc. who they are playing and what the issue is.

I just really think having live support so Admins can log on and help users who are in games.. For me it would be really helpful bc i host lots of tournaments at one time and going through each dispute ticket and responding takes a lot of time, this would be faster.

Hi Dom,

Is accessing custom fields any different within your templates?

{vb:raw post.field12} doesn't seem to want to work


edit: I actually think is the vb:if not working...

<vb:if condition="$post['field12']">

any thoughts?

[apapterx]

Is there a way to make it so when you add someone to a team they have to accept the invite?

Also is it possible to have a delay on switching teams to stopping hopping.

Also when submitting a result is there a way to remove the box "Submit Screenshot".

bananalive,

i thought of something else you could possible add, how about an overall ranking system of each user, so if an user plays a lot of matches and wins their rank will move up meaning (moving closer to #1) for example. www.gamebattles.com has an overall ranking system of each user based on their number of wins and loses / xp they get from matches of all kinds of different games, this would be another great add on.

Hi Dom,

What does that Close Tournament option do? I still seem to be able to join a tournament even though it's closed.

It would be nice to have the ability to display a tournament to the public, however close registrations until a certain date. Possible?

Hi Dom,

I've set the credits for winner at 100 credits, however the system changes it to 99.99 credits.

Rebuild Cache and Bitfield and that will go away.

[killerbeez]

I don't understand what that means.

The tournaments do not seem to be working when I add them or when I try to view them. I am trying a single elimination. I get a '500 Internal Server Error'
