Is LMS not a "ladder" as I had assumed?

I can't create an actual "ladder", only "tournaments".

If this doesn't exist, this is a big deal.

There is no way to put the points in the tournament, you can not put out the option not to place the edit points each in the tournament, helpppp plz...

You just have to add this on to the end of your web address (.php?do=editplayer&id=XXX ) and change the XXX to numbers to find the player to edit the points for until there is a fix for that problem.

I went to my old 3.6.8 installation and clicked on the relevant links to find the web address to add scores for single players. That old installation has been completely removed from my server so I can't find out what the address is for adding scores to teams I'm sorry.

Yes, you just have to keep trying. That's what I had to do. Fortunately I had just done a clean install of this addon and so the numbers started from 1.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I just tested the web address to get an example image:
http://www.webaddress/forums/tournaments.php?do=editplayer&id=5

Thanks

Yes it is. That took me a while to work out. You're welcome.

[Robbed]

Hopefully he can get this fixed up.

Another issue i notice with lms is when you edit a tournament and change the score type to (Singular Form eg. Point not Points) Kill etc . I don't see it show up anywhere.
