1. I think it would be great if there was a way to set a date cut-off for ladders. Once that date is hit then the ladder gives the admin/mod the ability to create a tournament based on the results of the ladder. The top teams would be placed high on the bracket with bye's into the second round/third round depending on the number of participants. It would also matchup teams based on their record from the ladder, so the lowest ranked teams would face the strongest teams(assuming that a bye system is not possible or doesn't make sense). This would create a league/playoff atmosphere around the mod and would be VERY helpful in my opinion.
2. Challenge Details are needed for the ladder. Basically, a place to put in the details of the match in question. A few suggestions would be Map Name, Mode, Number of players needed, Date & Time, Notes.
Feature Request: Tournament Add-on
The ability to seed players/teams in the tournament bracket.
Just curious if you have given any thought to these features?
