Suggestion: Allow admins to choose certain users to be moderators over certain Tournaments.

Ex: User A can only be a moderator over Tournament 1. User B can only be a moderator over Tournament 2 and 3.

This would help us a lot in managing the tournaments.

What about calculating averages? For example, I'll be using this for football games. Is there a way for you to calculate the averages of multiple games played . For instance if I play 3 games and score 30 points total in all 3, my average will be 10 points a game. This would be fun to allow users to see, who scores the most. Who has the best D, etc ,etc. you could allow the admin to determine what stats users must enter. and only the winner would have to enter the stats.

You can manually insert scores, without them being reported if you wish.

Upload attached file

Find in template tmnt_ladder_cmpt:

<span title="$vbphrase[ladder_totalpoints_desc]">$vbphrase[ladder_totalpoints]: $cmpt[totalpoints]</span>

Add after:

Points Average: $cmpt[pointsaverage]

Unless you alter the value manually using phpmyadmin, no.

I have trouble with people being able to access the page with tournaments. It says they dont have access. Even if I have given them access. What am I missing? are there any more options somewhere?

Permissions are set in Usergroup Permissions.

Make sure you have the modification enabled and Banned Users is empty both in Tournament and Ladder Options.

Is there a way to create a tournament but put it as teams but not require a full team to signup, so people will join and then they will be put into teams..

Or how do you even create teams?

[820Media]
