Users or teams can join ladders and challenge other players or teams in the ladder. Elo rating system is used which calculates the difficultly of a match according to the players' ranks and this is taken into account when the ranks are updated after the match is finished.

I'm experimenting with a league system. If you have 30 players joining the league, how are they normally splitting into groups? Is it based upon last seasons league? If it is then the first season would have to random put them in groups, I assume.
I have a site that is used by a group of folks that play golf online.
I've installed Tournaments & Ladders and it looks to have installed fine. But given that I am not familiar with online gaming sites that use things like this I am a bit lost applying it to my site.
First - we have two basic types of tournaments. Match Play and Stroke Play. Match Play tournaments are similar to Ryder Cup, or for that matter tennis bracket tournaments if you are familiar with them. Stroke Play are similar to the PGA's weekly tournaments. Players play 4 rounds. Combine the scores. Lowest score wins the tournament.
Looking at it quickly it seems "Tournaments" lends itself to the match play concept. Can ladders be used for the weekly stroke play?
I'm afraid I've got no idea about golf. Ladders work on the basis of two players playing each other, I'm not sure if that's like stroke play.

Also, I figured out how to set up matches. For example if I have 8 players competing I can easily set up the first 4 matches. But how do I set up the next bracket (i.e. the 4 winners playing 2 rounds, and they the two remaining going against one another. In other words how do I set up the complete bracket?
That sounds like a single elimination tournament. The winner from each pair progressing to the next round, until there is a winner.

Also, how can I use categories?
Thanks!
How ever you want, create categories for different types of golf, different standards (ie. pro or beginner) or different locations (eg. UK/ USA golf tournaments)
Categories are there just to help you organise your tournaments and ladders better.

Yes corect..
If its a brand new tournament, plaryes will be added random since there is no record.
And if its for soccer you could have 3 division/pools, and based on 30 players, all pools would then consist of 10 players/teams. The pools are normaly filled up with the highest ranked, if such are not enough teams to fill 1.div. up, the underlying rows not being created.
The group will play 1-2 times against any team. Each round is divided into ex. 3 days: Monday-Wednesday and Thursday-Saturday(so you are able to play more than one game a week).
This tricky part is to make a system that will ensure that players/teams will play there matches.
I know this model is beeing used but dont know if its the best way to go about.
Could you make a online calender/sytem which would ask what time players/teams can play certen round matches. Then there information on possible dates for the next round must be submitted the day before the round begins.
Lets say players/teams have to choose 3 spots/days on the calender, then make the system automatically choose a time both parties can play.
And if one of the teams dosn?t enter any dates he will lose the match.
