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.

Here's a question that probably isn't asked on a regular basis:
Is there a way to require the user to make a PayPal payment before being able to enter?
I'm planning on making a "Gaming for Charity" site, in which each tournament will have a low entry fee, and then the winner of said tournament will get a cut of the entry money, as well as a charity of their choice, and then of course, the remaining money goes to the house.
Pay to play would certainly be a nice ad-on to this awesome mod and maybe a feature to controle which usergroups that can enter diffrent ladders tournaments.

I don't think this mod supports a feature like this, as of now.
I'm really looking forward to the new league feature, and hopefully will figure out how to make it to where teams can dispute matches (instead of only players ladders) and getting my match finder fixed.
I can see it getting confusing if a user doesn't log in for a while and tries to create or join a team and can't because they're already on a team and don't know which team they're on (I have registered users set up to only be able to create 1 team). They would then have to go through the entire team list to see all of the teams that they may have been on in order to leave it. It'd be awesome if it could somehow be simplified with a link showing the teams that they're on so that they can leave them or see their roster.
First is it possible to alter the player image? (the one who's url shows the players latest ranking for sigs etc?)
Secondly, I use the ELO ratin system for my ladder but I have the odd anomoly. I have a guy thats played 4 won3 and drawn 1 yest has less points than when he started!! Is that a glitch?

The error message for reaching usergroup limit of number of teams a user can create has been altered for next version, with a link to view all the teams the user has created.

Pay-for-play is currently unavailable and is not due to be included in the next release but may be available in the future.

1. How did you want it altered?
2. If a player's has 3 wins, 1 draw, 0 loses, then they should have elo rating higher than the starting elo rating. Although it depends on the elo rating's of the other people you play, e.g. only drawing against the worst player in the ladder, will decrease your elo rating (but not by as much as if they beat you).
Also, I am having some issues of my own. This looks like an amazing mod and I am excited about trying to work the current bugs out. If anyone could help me out or let me know if these are known bugs it'd be great!
Issue 1: Can't post match comments. (as seen in attachment t1 and t2)
Issue 2: Can't dispute a match in the teams ladder. (as seen in attachment t1)
Issue 3: Match isn't added to match finder when I create a match finder challenge. (as seen in attachment t3)
Issue 4: EDIT: This issue seems to work fine on another PC, disregard the last 2 attachment files.
Thanks for the help in advance and I'm looking forward to new updates!
Oh! and a really nice feature that I think would be somewhat easy to add would be a simple link (either at the top as a sublink under Teams or left side bar) that says "My Teams" that you could click to see which teams you're on... either that or add something to the vB profile that links a players team with their profile.
1. This issue has been fixed for v4.3.4
2. Users will be able to dispute team challenges in v4.3.4+
3. Make sure you set the match date in the future. Matches will only show in the match finder in they are in the future.
One of our users created a team name that contained an apostrophe and a question mark which caused a server error when he tried to have that team join a tournament. We renamed the team and he joined successfully.
Problem is he tried 5 times unsuccessfully and the number of available team spots was reduced by 5. I can't find a way to put the 5 team spots back.
Your assistance would be appreciated.
Fixed issue for next version.
You'll have to edit the tournament via PHPMYADMIN or create new tournament and then add the teams to it.
