Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade Tournament

SK v3 Arcade Tournament v1.0.5

A tournament add-on for v3 Arcade v1.0.7 (by John Warwick)
Created for vBulletin v3.6. Now also tested on v3.7 and v3.8.

This add-on is not needed and doesn't work on the new v3Arcade 2.0.0. It has its own tournamnet system (based on this one).
Since this is now starting to be obsolete I've removed the Supported status. I will of course still try and help those who use it as much as I can though.

You got to replace the 'table_prefix' that I put in bold with whatever you selected as table prefix when you installed vBulletin. Or remove it if you don't use any.
Sorry, should have made that clear in the first post.

Edit: I saw that you got it yourself.

Thanks for this release, hopefully John is already working on the 3.7 big arcade update, if not, hopefully the current version will work good in 3.7

Uploaded an update to v1.0.1.

Just a few changes and additions

• Now games installed with the 'iB "Pro" Arcade - Mass Game Import' option is included.
• When two players gets the same score they will get another try until someone wins.
  It was random before...
• Added option to join yourself or not when creating new tournament.
  So you can have an admin account to create tournaments but not playing.
• No 'sign up' link on tree page for users not active in tournament after it has started.
  Just a small thing. Since you couldn't join, why show a 'sign up' link.

This looks like a great addon, I'm going to check it out for sure!

Does it run completely seperate to the default "Challenge System" - would it cause any problems removing that? Ideally I'd like one or the other turned on, not both.

There is no connection to the default Challenge System.

Sorry, I don't know if it's work on 3.7 beta.
Haven't installed 3.7 yet and seen what's new and different.
If v3 Arcade works I would guess that this add-on should work also.

Haven't tested this yet, but just installed. Nice one, this add on is exactly what I've been wanting.

EDIT - I have now tested this and it worked perfectly. Thank you VERY much.
