1), When a user creates a tournament, will he automatic join the tournament as well? As I could add the person very easily in the tournament list.

2), How come you can add multiple usernames (exactly the same ID) in the tournament list? Is this normal?

3), Suggestion: Possible way to swap players position on the list rather than a rename?

1. No

2. You shouldn't be able to add multiple users with same userid or username

By losers bracket he means, if a team/person is knocked out the go into a lower bracket the lower bracket fight it out to get to the final.

If lower bracket gets to the final the lower bracket winners must play 2 maps/games to win overall where as the upper bracket only needs 1 to win

much like http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/61437/

I also think the ability to enter scores would be awsome

Thats what i mean

so looser of the Winner Round goes to the looser Round so if he win all the Games in the looser Round he plays in the final against the winner of the normal round. This will be a must have feature

[commoncents]

Nevermind, I fixed it

[Gamelobby]

Its Single Elimination, there is no loser bracket..

[P.Jackson]

We know that. thats why we are asking if it would be possible to add since most tournaments have double eliminations these days

Ladder points awarded incorrectly:

Prior to a ladder match yesterday our player XTOUR was at 975 points. McGoo was 1st on the ladder at 1050.
XTour Won the match, but it seems McGoo was awarded 25 points and XTOUR lost 25 points. Opposite to what was expected.

HELP!

My members reported this bug too.The player who won the match lost 25 points whereas the player who lost the match earned 25 points.
