Bug fix in v5.3.1 too for team urls

Thank you for fixing the Team Profile Links. Nice crown addition. Still can not delete a team member from a team. Same as images attached.

Thank you works now for deleting members.

So, is there a way to change the max teams for tournament types? I don't understand why it allows us to select more, but then says the max is some other number.

In regards to bracketstyle.... Could you have a look at binarybeast.com and maybe add the score like they do in the bracket layout? And maybe use hover the same way, so when you point at a team displayed in the bracket it shows there road to the final if they vent that far. Just a nice little feature :-)

Keep up your stunning work

I like that bracket layout, and it would be nice also to have that feature of hovering and scores. I would also suggest if possible Bananalive if there could be a color difference from the high seed to the low seed or similar to this bracket as well?
