Team members can leave teams. Players can request to join team.

Should change that to "Longest Streak" or change it so that it only lists their longest winning streak rather than their longest winning or losing streak (which ever one is longer, obviously).

It only shows longest winning streak.

i got a question

which one am i posed to download

the beta or the top one??

[gakousei]

Thanks for your help, it works

I have an issue with Elo rating points :

Same rank players had a match, the winner took 13pts.
A lower player challenged a more ranked player, the winner (the most ranked one ) took 15pts.

With Elo system, logicaly, more there is a difference of level between the players, less the winner have point if he is the high ranked one.

NP,

I decided just to post it up here. Went over the beta script today found some things.

Requests:
- Notifications integrated with vB Notifications (Invite To Team/Request to Join Team, New Challenge, New Tournament, New Ladder, Confirm/Deny Match Results)
- Option for WSYG Editor across the script.
- When creating a new team there is no avatar,website or gamertag field.
- Ability disable comments all together but provide link to discussion thread somewhere.
- Best of Series (3,5,7)
- Randomly assign Gametypes and Maps to a challenge.
- "Match Finder" - Ability to submit an open challenge for a day/time duration. Challenge is displayed in the challenge list but does not show the team name who submitted. In turn any other team on the ladder can accept that open challenge.

Bugs:
- Clicking on Team name on Ladders page says "Challenge Player" not "Challenge Team".
- When challenging the ladders page submits a challenge and then displays it where the Challenger and Challenged are the same team name(Challenger). The Challenged team still see's the accept/reject options but clicking on them does nothing.
- Deleted Teams still show up on the ladder.

Syntax:
- Stats setting show "Yes/No" should be "On/Off"
- When editing a team button should read "Save" not "Edit"
- When creating a team button should read "Save" not "Add"

Again love the mod, watch these updates very closely. I know if you ever went "Paid" I would certainly purchase.

Still using this mod,

REQUEST: when sending a challenge on a ladder there is no where to state a time and date, could this be a added feature?
