Would be good to allow admins to add more spots available in a tournament

I created a single knockout event and the spots got filled quickly but no option to add more spots for more players

Two minor bugs.

1. The stats next to the username is sticking out of the lay out.

2. The word "Loses" should be "Losses"

If the tournament has not yet started, use the -/+ to decrease/increase tournament slots.

Option to add more players when the tournament has started, but before any scores are submitted would be great

Hi banana

It is a modification for displaying the results and managing tournaments/ ladders.

An how do I that??????? Is there a guidance somewhere available???????????? I installed your Mod, I can create tournament and ladders. But more I didn't found.

I would finish a tournament, it says "You have not submitted any results". Where do I add results???????????

And so on, and so on.............

Also I didn't find any link "New" or any other link in the Navbar.

best regards

Hey there i love this Mod but i have some Poblems.

If i try to change the date of start or make other changes of a Tournament it says "Unvaild Type"

And :

Meldung: 'vB_Text_Editor' ist undefiniert
Zeile: 710
Zeichen: 2
Code: 0
URI: http://www.gamersinc-network.de/tour...p?do=view&id=4

It says vBEditor is undefined

And i dont know where i can submit results

[PixelFx]

is there a spot in the script where I can define who has rights to create new categories, or am I overlooking it? Also can you please add the ability to add images to categories, and or descriptions etc.
