In version 2.7.4 when you set a tournament with 32 teams as 1v1 it doesnt progress winner to round6 class , so i decided to try beta 2.7.5 now there is a problem with this columns
It wont show up round2's 9th team, round3's 5th team, round4's 3th team and round5's 2th team.
I tried to solve by myself but that code was so complicated i couldnt figure where the hell was making problem, any idea banana?

Yep, one of my algorithm's was wrong for round 2 of a 32 player single elimination tournament, it should be fixed in Beta 4 attached to first post.

Fix in one of the algorithm for single elimination tournaments and 'admin add player' improved

[Jaxel]

Have there been any TEMPLATE CHANGES?

You make it extremely hard to upgrade this program with the way you time your templates.
