Any Idea when we`ll be able to move the Stand alone ladder tables into the Combined mod to allow use of 1 mod instead of 2? 1?

**Thanks, There is no Rush at all..Just asking**

[Chris11987]

Are there any plans on creating two files, on "tournament.php" and "ladder.php" to sort of separate the directory for ladders and tournaments. Personally, I just don't really care for ladders being under a file called "tournament".

[Nightcast]

First I would like to say thanks this mod works great. A few of my members came up with a suggestion. So say a member(non staff) created a tournament and everything went fine, They would like to be able to end there tournament with out having to pm a tournament moderator.

I hope you understand what I'm saying if not please respond with any question.
Thanks.

I think this was brought up before. Basically give the creator special permissions, such as being able to advance people, etc

[BlackLava]

How do I delete a player from a tournament? Anyway to let them unregister themselves too?

Installed your plugin and it's really great otherwise, thanks again!

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

so far so good.. still testing but loving it so far...
members are already pysched for what they see so far. This is gunna be a staple for couple of my boards

current: vb3.7.3 patch 1 / tourament v2.4.9


Request/Suggestions:

• **Double Elmination!!** Pretty PLEEEEEASE!!
• **Calendar integration**
• HTML markup for tournament/ladder titles in List (hard to read or would like to highlight some)
• Ability to sticky for Tournament/Ladder Lists

Team logos

• upload team logo when create new team (currently can only do so when edit team)
• team logo thumbs on Team List
• ability to choose from stock logos (maybe link to vbulletin avatar?)

Weird:
tree_ltr.gif
seems to be missing from the file package (wouldn't load, couldn't find it so jacked from your demo site. lol)

BUG?
Ladder combined script with tournaments is great... but since I upgraded...
creating new ladders doesn't create a new thread
