I use this to run StarCraft II tournaments on my forum. We have a 64 person tournament going right now and it's working out great. It would be nice if we were allowed to attach files and assign races / classes to each match. Beyond that, great job! I hope the Double Elimination gets sorted out for larger tournaments soon.

I get this when trying to edit a ladder. I just wanted to change the icon... I can't find anything in the database about ladders, only a column for categories. Can someone give me specifics on the columns needed?

The above error is occuring due to a missing column in your mysql database. Table 'vbtmnt_ladders' is missing column 'groupid' with following details: int(10), NOT NULL, default value '0'.
Have you imported the latest product file, allowing over-write?
Not sure if this has already been mentioned in this thread or not (shame on me for not searching), but it would be nice if you could input scores and have them next to the usernames in the brackets. Would also be nice if you could display something like team icons as well, but that's just getting greedy, lol.
