How does the javascript in this script degrade? I know the 3.8 version did not degrade gracefully at all. But the more I use AJAX with my own mods, the more I see how essential javascript degrading gracefully is. Especially with the number of complaints I've received using the old version on my forums.

Which means there is no 2nd place, then the next 2 people are tied for 3rd place. (which means there is no 4th place, so the next person would be in 5th, etc.)

Just keep using it, the system will seperate them as they get more wins or losses.


Remember to put in the final score of the game, ONLY if the higher number is the winner, otherwise just use a 1 for winner & leave the loser at 0. (note for future.. reverse scoring for games like Golf )

I found a bug. =]
I made a team called: Alky's Team, and now on the tournament page it says: Alky\'s Team. See image below.

Also it would be nice if there is a "My Team" button, where you can see all the teams your on.

Overall amazing plugin, love it. Keep up the good work.

How do I finish both LMS type tournaments? I have players in the tourny, I started the tourny, and gave them points by double clicking in the score column and putting in there score.

When I hit finish however it says: "You have not submitted any results.".

It does that for both LMS type tournaments. So how do I finish them?

[Gamelobby]

"Both LMS type"...?

There is only one LMS & one Single Elimination type of tournament.
Do you have a link.?

My LMS works fine.

[wampforum]

have a little problem. set up a ladder which currently has 29 players on it but the page will only show 26 and I can find no way of seeing the other 3, is it possible to extend the number of players shown or at the least the ability to look at the others on a next page?

Also would it be possible for admin/mods to be able to add players to the ladders?

[wittebolx]

for some weird reason my registered members are not allowed to view the tournaments and ladders. It's even more weird when you consider i gave them the same rights as an administrator for both blocks. any ideas why people are still locked out of the mod?
