Is there any way I can take away the option to put in "Map" when you challenge someone on a ladder? I'm using this for Madden NFL 11 so there's no real point for that. If it's something small I can do, please let me know.

Thanks

I totally love this mod, best tournament script i ever tried, and still it has so much potential. I would like to see it become as good as Gamebattles.com wich is the best ladder site out there. Its good for inspiration :-)

Dont know if there is a roadmap for this mod?

There is a ton of things i would like to see added but dont want to seem to greedy.

Feature req.

1. when u play best of 3 to have the option to make people report 3 scores and summon up.

2. Add a date and a time on a challenge so people know when to be online.

3. Put on amount of hours(24 or 48) before u can challenge the same team, this is made to avoid cheat.

4. Make some widgets to put on frontpage of the cms (top 10 ranking, latest matches ect)

5. pay to play

6. create a player profile for singles as for teams

7 a more detailed team profile like http://gamebattles.com/xbox360/battl.../team/team-hk/.

8. Matchfinder is high on the wish list

9. League option

10. rules for each ladder/tournament and not as description

Good ideas.

Another suggestion is a warlight. Basically the team admin can click their warlight on, which means a icon appears beside their team on the ladder indicating they are looking for a match. Its a good idea to have the icon dissappear automatically after 1 hour.

Now that would be top class
Even if the players would be able to do this it would be a great add on

Another suggestion is a calendar on each teams page showing what matches they have accepted so people know when that team is free to challenge.

Is it ok to change this line or remove it:
