Hello, I have a problem, I have created a nav tab for hall of fame, but this is not selected, as I have to do?

Title: HALL OF FAME
Target URL: tournaments.php?do=hof
Tab Script(s): tournaments <--- here error

On the other hand I wonder if is possible put rank images per tournament points, thanks.

Find in plugin 'set_navigation_tab'

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('tournaments','teams','tll_tickets','tll_cre dits','kings') ))

Replace with

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('teams','tll_tickets','tll_credits','kings') ))

Ive not used the double elimination but i seem to remember somewhere it stating it only worked for so many teams

Has this been fixed and if so how many teams can we use for double elimination ?

Also the link you have posted for double elimination, Is this exactly how the tournament works ?

Just i see some brackets for 16 man look different
