Find in competitions.php

 	$days = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);

Replace with

 	//$days = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);

Find in competitions.php

 	if ($day > $days OR $day == 0) {

Replace with

 	if (/*$day > $days OR */$day == 0) {

<u>Feature Requests</u>

It would be good to have dates and times for when each challenge was made on the upcoming match list.

The admin should be able to see all challenges.

My league requires the person who is challenged to provide three dates and times that the challenger can choose from to set the match. This functionality would be good.

The ability for an admin to forfeit a match or delete a challenge or match.

The ability for an admin to change ELO, win/loss and streak etc.
