We're playing a 16 teams (2vs2) tournament! Now it says I can only add 10 teams. Is it possible to add one team twice? (I guess not)

We have 2-3 different teams from one "clan"...

Go to the tournament page and you should be able to change the maximum number of teams allowed to enter a tournament. There are two buttons next to the teams allowed thing on the tournament description and you can change it by clicking the buttons.

So any idea what could be causing the fetch ID to not work? Your previous suggestions didnt exist.

Check your usergroup options 'Maximum teams a user can create '

HI banana,

We just had the following scenario take place....

We had two players playing each other.

Player 1 had previously played 1 game prior to this match and lost it.

Player 2 had previously played 0 games.

Player 2 defeated Player 1 by 19 points to 9.

I entered their scores under the 'Admin submit Score' link.

Upon looking at the ladder table, it now says Player 1 has played 3 games (instead of 2), and has lost all 3.

Any chance you can create an actual tournament with group stages and knockouts cheers

Looks like a great mod, any chance it will be updated for 3.8.x ?

It's working fine on my vb 3.8 forum

A noticed requested feature of notifications upon challanges and applications would be a great boost to an already great script.

It's the only issue we are having at the moment is that requests and such are not noticed, without checking the actual script's pages.
