Here is my suggestion to fix the problem with the Ranking, Recent matches, Upcoming Matches that is causing the page to skew off the right.

[G1 ]P1-P2-P3-P4 [ Best out of 3 match duels moves on. P1 vs P2 and P3 vs P4 ] the 2

winners in this groups will face off in a Match duel and winner will face the winners of

the other groups.] IE. if P1 wins from G1, and P5 wins from G2, and P9 wins from G3

and finally P13 wins from G4. then we have P1 vs P5 [ Best out of 3 Matches ] then P9

vs P13 again best of 3 matches] now in the finals its P9 vs P1 for the championship


[G2 ]P5-P6-P7-P8

[G3 ]P9-P10-P11-P12

[G4 ]P13-P14-P15-P16

Is it possible to have something like this added to the tournament script, something like a group battles.

Thanks

This would be pretty sweet, although I don't think it would apply to a lot of people. I personally would love it

Could you keep a 'stable' release version posted? That way you can do all the experimental ones while still providing a stable version for everyone to use in the meantime.

Thanks a bunch.

v2.6.5 is a stable version with following minor fixes from v2.6.4
- Removed image widths for edit buttons (so they display correctly for custom buttons)
- Added spacing in ladder template after Ranking, Recent matches, Upcoming Matches
- Fixed Join Ladder link displaying on Recent Matches & Upcoming Matches pages for ladder competitors

FYI - You forgot to increment your version number in product-tournament2008.xml

[WNxWakko]

The ranking, recent matches, upcoming matches are still skewed.

See screenshot.

LMS is a basic knockout tournament of players or teams, go though the tournament and the winners progress to the end.

More tournament types are coming soon.

[vigliarolo12]

Ok thanks Double Elimination would be an awesome type

[Stifmeister2]

Babanalive, do you think I can upgrade from a very old version 2.2.1 to this new 2.6.5 without problems?
