I have a little problem with the error message when double elimination is created with more of 8 players.

The error is in tournaments.php, is this:

	if ($tmnt['noplayers']>8 && $tmnt['type']=='de')
	{
		print_r('<font size="+2" color="red">Error!!! Double Elimination tournaments are in Beta and so only support up to 8 players!!!</font>');
	}

Show me the message outside template (in the top) and this deform my forums structure, could like place this message into the template?

Thank you very much, I really like this mod.

This has already been addressed in v4.2.7+

The rules tab is the same for all ladders and all tournaments.

I must of forgot to install something because mine doesn't look like that.

Hi bananalive, mi forum setting times are GMT +1, when i create or edit a tournament i have a problem with the hour, mark one more hour, i have to edit tmnt_new and tmns_edit templates or is there any way to configure the mod?

Thanks in advance, greetings.

Other features i would like to see:

It would be nice if it would be possible to protect tournaments and ladder with a password, so we could open up the the system so users could make there own tournaments and password protect them so only admins and them self can acces.

a password to Change the setup of the tournament and a password to enter. The pass to enter would also do good with other purposes.

Group play or league would be awesome :-)

I think i better donate now...Done :-)

Still awesome job mate
