Anyway i can set permissions so that only certain members can see certain tournaments?

eg/ only members with 100+ post can see the "100+ post tournament" but other members can still other tournaments that are available?

Attachment 126797

I would like to see Robin round worked into a liga so you choose how many groups and teams go into each. And it has to be shown like lader so you can see whos on top of each group.

Ex:

Group 1
Team
1. W L ect.
2. W L
3.
4.

Group 2
1.
2.
3.
4.

And so on

And then ad a calender option so the teams can agree on when to play the matches.

...

So it would be the same as round robin apart from splitting teams/ players into groups on the results page?

[champendk]

I have send u a mail with a screen and a link to how it should look/work

Just like a normal soccerleague with devisions, and the players move up and down every seson. Or you can use as group stages and have top 2 or 4 players go on to the playoff...
