I was running a 16 player dB elim yesterday and ran into some issues ...

There was no submit scores for the players, no regress player botton, and it wasnt possible to swap players at the beginning. Dont know if its supposed to be like this ?

Am I completely missing something? I've created a tournament but for some reason whenever I click to create a new team I'm sent to the categories listing. Not sure exactly how I'm supposed to create a team, I've tried everything.

[sutto]

Possible to add a player history to team profiles?

Player joined, player left, player replaced etc.

Player replaced would probably require additional modifications etc... but certainly a great feature!

Check your permissions to create team under usergroup permissions

Good job with the league software, I think you guys could corner the market if you were to produce a Baseball, Softball, Football stat tracking software for Highschool, Rec leagues ect.

[Bluefin221]

When into knockout stages after using groups, we still have the problem that its random, instead of winner of group 1 versus runner up of group 4 for example, the draw needs to be split and winner v runner up, or we need to be able to manually add who plays who when it goes from groups to knockouts.

Also for teams entering tournaments they cannot enter a result, when we have so many teams or players it is much easier if teams and players could enter the results then have it approved by a member of staff to make things function much faster.

On your site how do i get the latest version as in the download section it shows as version 5.x.x but the latest version is 6.0.4 ?
