no, i have also bought a new skin a few weeks ago, but the problem is the same. i have also upgrade the version from 2.8.0 to 2.8.4...

[Shadawg]

Got an idea for future addons, will help alot and cut work load down for everyone, An auto pm as soon as the tournament starts to everyone on the tournament, after 3 days the user gets a reminder, after 7 days the user gets disqualified, i noticed all this on the IBpArcade im using, and thought hell this would be awesome if the tournaments and ladders did this..... Im sure you can look at the coding on there and figure it out.....

This hack just keeps on getting better and better.

Out of curiousity, is there a way for competitors to add a score similar to that of a tennis Match and have that score shown on the ladder? ex. 6-4 7-5 6-1

And/or the Tournament brackets right under their name?

[OttawaGolf]

Would it be possible to allow admins to edit a ladder match score?
I am having a few requests to fix errors in score entries.

[Brathamike]

i dont understand this. I get the tournament concept but whats it for? What does a user have to do to win the tournament? post, creat a post, or/and upload a picture? i just dont get it? i installed it and have 5 members. So now what the members do to advance to the next round?

waiting on ur reply

great mod though i just dont get the whole concept

[P.Jackson]

An admin has to advances them to the next round at the moment, i think a user report win is being worked on

[peleh]

The calculator shows:

A-1000 Vs B-1000 (A wins) -> A-1012 Vs B-987 So far so good.

But when i try this on the ladder, it goes:

A-1000 Vs B-1000 ( A wins)> -> A-1003 Vs B-997.

Is this ok? The value os "K" is 50.

Ahh yes i noticed that while i was playing with this. This mod would be the best of the
best mods if you could

1. make it were when a user post or do given activity through out the site will advance
the user to the next round

or even set it up like the points system

[Sam Wiltshire]

Thanks

One thing id like to throw out there for future releases..

Making it mandatory to have some of thier info on their profile filled out. so when someone tries to join, they have to have certain things filled out.

AIM
MSN
PSN
Xbox
etc..

And be able to set those things for each tournament.!!
I'm finding it hard to get people to stay on top of their matches, and to get a hold of them.

I have to award forfeits in every round, which means only about half of the people that registered are actually playing.
