Is there any work in progress for the following areas, i knew it is mentioned under features.

Team based tournaments.
2v2
5v5
Double Elimination (used by major LAN/Online tournaments)
Supporting 64+ players/teams

I plan to host a team based 2v2 large online tournament sponsored with major prizes around November time.

[Strafe]

I would like to see 3v3 added as well as the Double Elimination feature. Please let keep up the good work!

edit: Actually a team vs team function is the solution

[Kaelon]

Thanks for the upgrade! I have modified my tmnt_display, tmnt_edit, tmnt_list, tmnt_new, and tmnt_shell templates. Do any of these need to be reverted?

I hope this didn't screw anything in my forum?? Any damage to my 'vbb_setting' ???

Is there some easy way to fix this? It wouldn't install the mod because of this error.


I need this mod soon since my tournament is getting full.

Excellent work as always banana, glad to see this bad boy continually be updated. I know it's been overmentioned, and I hate to be pushing the issue haha, but can we expect team support in the future?

This leads me to believe that your script is looking at my webroot instead of forum root. If I take the file back out of my webroot, the error returns to the original message I pasted in an above thread.

So have you figured out what is causing this to happen yet?

[mozik]

I was wondering if you could add 2v2 and 4v4 to the selection of tourneys were whoever signs up has to send invites to the other members of the team? or just add them, But if they can just add them then you will have to make something were a person can only be on one team per tournament.

It would be cool for the 2v2 and 4v4 that when you sign up you put in a team name and then a text feild for the other members of the team. But it can only be edited by a admin.

Can you remove people from the tournaments?

[gorentals]

Yes you can remove people from the tournaments.

Once the game goes "live" you cannot remove them from the tournament, but can remove them before it starts.


******
I hope there will be a feature that will allow admins/mods to replace the userid of the player with another userid, after the game has gone live.
