It is possible but it would require rewrite of the comments part of the modification. It would need query to fetch posts from the tournament thread (instead of fetching comments) and also the quick reply from thread (instead of the add comment).

Yes when the tournament hasn't started yet.


But when the tournament has started there is no way to delete players.

How do you set the tournaments home page to sort by latest tourneys at the top by default, similar to the thread listing?
