I currently have version 2.6.9 installed. I thought about upgrading.. From what I understood, tournaments and ladders are now two separate things?? How do I upgrade?? Simply upload new files and import the product file (with allow overwrite of course)??
And I don't lose any data (especially ongoing tournaments)?
The reason why I want to upgrade is that when you edit team's name, it doesn't change the name in that tournament bracket/tree. I wonder if that is fixed in the newest release?
Tournaments and ladders have always been seperate. There is however added options to disable each individually for forum admins who only require part of the script.
Upgrading is simple, just upload all files, over-writing ones on your server. Then import product file, again allowing overwrite. Then check vBulletin Options -> tournament & Ladder Settings and Usergroup Permissions.
No data will be deleted during upgrade process.
I've looked at the source and both types of tournament now display team name changes.

Ok thanks.
I mean tourneys and ladders are on two separate pages, in my 2.6.9 version they're all under tournaments.php.
This an amazing addon. I really appreciate all your hard work on this! It is working well with my forums. Just need something to manage my clan members and wars now.
If I create a tournament, they have to be members of my site? I have some people I'd like to have in the tourney but there not members.
Whats the point if they are not members.?
They can just cheat & play/enter multiple times to different tournaments & you would never know who is who.
Without registering it is pointless to bother.
Why would want to let people play in your tournaments, who are not willing to register on your site.?
If you're talking about a team vs team situation than the whole team doesn't have to register.. just someone to report.

Im going to use this mod the way Robdawg does. By having my members vote on babes/women. Then I would advance the winners. Some of these ladies are members of my site and some are members of a rival site. They prefer that site over mine, so they won't join my site.
I see.. well maybe you just make dummy accounts for them.?
But that seems like a bad idea to me, never going to win over the competition by doing that. lol
I just installed this and love it! Its taking the place of a previous ladder system i was using. My question is this. As an admin, i want to manually add members to a ladder and rank them manually as well, so i can migrate from my old ladder to this one.
However, i don't see where i can do either of these things....add members to a ladder and change current ladder users ranks.
