I can see this used for Softball or baseball tournaments(you would be amazed at how many of these go on each weekend!)

Need Bye bracket.
Need double elimination.
Need multiple sub-tournaments that lead to a main tournament.
Need multiple fields to describe the contestant. (maybe use profile fields?)

Nice job!

Edit: I can't join any tournaments, even with the permissions set correct

Yea I'm not seeing the join option as well.

Nominated and Installed, I've been waiting a long time for a new tournament addon. Please please please keep developing this.

Additional Requests:

Ladder Display as Tournament Progresses
Team Tournament Option
Double Elimination Option
Keep users tournament record for display on profile page etc..

[OcR Envy]

Guess not working now, ty.

Nice, working now. Nominated.

I'd like to see an option to edit the participants list. I've experienced there are always a couple of people who don't show up or retrait on the last moment. Also when editing a tournament, options like LMS can't be changed. Would be handy, if you accidently click the wrong option.

Hmm, furthermore brackets would be a sweet addition. Also the players stats are great, I hope it can be displayed in the profiles in the future

Does anybody actually have this working now? I would love to see this in action before I install it.

Here's a few more suggestions:
- Create Game Category (so we can add our own games to it)
- Keep a history of each game to show who took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
