How do players leave the tournament after its started?

The tournament was automatically started when 64 players are in; no one started the tournament manually (if they did, there would be Bye Players). This player didn't leave, they were dropped for some reason by the system. The interesting thing, the other player automatically moved forward, as if it was a Bye Player, which is why I think its a bug with the Bye system.

Also... what did today's update fix? Is it the same as the 2.7.6 you uploaded last week?

I don't think it is (it shouldn't be). Have you asked the competitor?

The bye system only gets worked out when 'Start Tournament' is clicked by admin.

Few minor changes and bug fixes... increased performance, few template changes. (I strongly recommend you upgrade from Pre-Release version)

Could we get a update as to what has been updated?
