You can do that now with the latest version

is there a new version for the future without fatal erros ?

[gorentals]

Having an issue. After a tournament has started we have a couple members that for some reason don't want to be part of it. How do we swap them out with an alternative player? I have several going and we cannot continue as we have some holdups.

Thanks

All errors found get fixed as soon as possible (within a day or two). It is possible for me to test every eventuality to check for every bug which is why some people get errors. As of this post all reported errors have been fixed.

Players can only be swapped for LMS atm

i think the ability to view match results in the ladder for each user , scores who played who date etc would be a a great addition to the ladders.

Ok thanks. Shoot my tournaments are Single Elimination. That is exactly what I want to do is swap players, but I guess I can't in SIngle Eliminiation. Is this something you are looking at doing in the future?

Thanks again
