Awesome... is there any way i can manually edit the brackets? Reason being, the tournaments we're hosting take place over Xbox Live, and for some reason sometimes people can't connect. I know it's not a real feature, but is there coding anywhere where I can just go in and switch the names around?
I'm sorry if I'm nagging too much.
(Also, nominated MOTM... by far the best improvement I've made to the site so far this year)
