So when I create a new Category and select Tournament and Ladders or just Ladders I get the following Leagues block in the attached pic.

I would just like to use the Ladder portion and remove the League Option all together.

I do have Leagues disabled in the control panel, but the League Block still shows.

Okay I'll sort this out in next version (v5.3.3)

Sexy thanks

We just upgraded to vB4.2 and tournaments 5.3.2. After the upgrade all of the links for our Categories are broken (don't navigate anywhere, we click them and they go back to the same page). Do we need to recreate everything or is there a fix for this?

You might do, pending on which version you were upgrading from.

Rebuild categories cache using following link:

I have latest version installed on 4.1.10 PL3 and trying to find permission combination to all team captains to add/remove users from their team and any registered user join/delete themselves from team.

I installed this mod correctly, but it doesn't seem to want to work for me. I run vbuletin 4.2 with the publishing suite.I got everything installed exactly as you instructed, however it doesn't work.

ScreenShoo's: http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...8/problem1.png Tab with the numbers etc suppose to be Competition.
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...8/problem2.png. I go to CP> User Group> Admin Permission, but there is no such thing called Tournament Permissions. Any Ideas?

In your vBulletin CP, go to: Settings --> Navigation Manager.

Edit the "#tab_mdu1_245#" and change the name to Competitions or whatever you like and hit save... Then watch the magic happen.
