Is there a way to edit the users name in the ladder section? I had a dummy join as 1 name and then 2 days later he changed to another name. Now his record is attached to his old name. It shows his userid but the name is still the older one.

I've altered code in attached file so that the username is collated against user table.

Or is it something installed on your site.?

We play on our own arcade cabinets and pinball machines....

Most people use emulated via MAME on computers, but several have real arcade and pinball machines. We just require them to post their high score along with an image or screen shot. It is really just an honor system that we play on, but I would like to have something more automated like this tournament/ladder system. We have found a way to use the ladder system, but using the ladder it doesn't allow for people to play whenever they want and update their score.

[Gamelobby]

Very cool.!
Just have them make posts with score & picture, and you update the ladder to reflect.

Make a ladder for each game, & the ladder will keep track of each game.
If that will work.


*edit*
I meant LMS tourney not Ladder.

[aztecboi2003]

Is there any way to have the field of 64 appear like the attached image and not like the way it is on your site demo?

[Gamelobby]

No that is 4 seperate bracket tournaments.. That would be very cool, but no it cant do that.
You could just set up 4 seperate single elimination brackets then take the winner of each into a 4 man single elim bracket.
