Sorry about that. I think its caused by an error in installation of ladder modification. Import attached product file and it should be fixed.

[mlthmp]

Im not sure whats happened, or how lol.

I decided to totally start over, and remove both modifications and begin fresh. Ladders removed fine, but when I tried to remove the Tournament mod, I get this.

Invalid SQL:

DROP TABLE vb_tmnt_activity;;

MySQL Error : Unknown table 'vb_tmnt_activity'
Error Number : 1051

I tried installing over / upgrading tournaments again, but got similar errors.

Can you tell me how to just remove everything by hand, so I can start over fresh? Apparently VB isn't going to let me remove it

*EDITED*

When I try installing / upgrading.. I get this error when I go to the tournament.php page.

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vb_tmnt_tmnts Array ORDER BY id DESC;

MySQL Error : Table 'smallbal_vbforums.vb_tmnt_tmnts' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
