Users or teams can join ladders and challenge other players or teams in the ladder. Elo rating system is used which calculates the difficultly of a match according to the players' ranks and this is taken into account when the ranks are updated after the match is finished.

I don't understand the first part of the question.
There is no big list of challenges. However if you click on a ladder, you can view upcoming matches, recent matches, and your challenges.
We would like to use the ladder to "track" wins and losses for the tournament. If we have a ladder of 128 people and we want to review the results of a game (screenshot, etc.), it would be nice to see a complete history.
Sadly, I uploaded both files and altered the templates as instructed, but no additional fields were rendered. I don't think the if conditions are being met, as when I view the source I see the comments where I inserted the code, but it skips it.
looking good so far and will be waiting for league version, as it's extremely hard to find a proper league script. they are all usually ladders, branded as leagues
if i can make a request for the future league side of things, could you have it so that each league can have multiple divisions, and divisions can have customisable names , eg for 2 divisions you could have Div1, Div2, as standard but could customise it to Premiership, Div1.
also dunno if this is planned or suggested, but could you make it so the ladder has a start date and end date, so if you wanted, you could make it run like Ladder 2010, Ladder 2011 or just Ladder Sept 2010, etc, and so it's not just one long ladder. Then you can have 1st 2nd and 3rd type awards for it. If you had that, might need a 3rd date option for Results Deadline, so people can submit results they forgot up until the last second.
Exactly what i ant also mate, great minds think alike,lol
But yes, The options above to be added to a league system and not a ladder as most are as stated

v4.1.9 has just been released, with more integration between tournaments and ladders. Tournaments can now be linked to ladders with the winner receiving X addition points to their elo rating. Past and present tournaments linked to the ladder are shown in new tab on ladder page, as shown in attached screenshot.
