^ What you're describing sounds more like a contest than a tournament.

[schlottkej]

how do you add more players to the LMS tournament?

[OcR Envy]

Watching patiently.

Still needs a Team Tournament option, Ability for players to admit their defeat or submit a win.

Edit:

How do I delete an entire tournament?

[Reinhart]

You can remove players.. just not after it has started.

To delete go into the tournament and scroll down to the bottom right.

On right hand side there is link to 'Add Player'
To add slots click the + or - buttons next to number of slots
Once tournament has started it is not possible to add players.

Open tournament and at the bottom right hand side is [Delete] link.

[Chris11987]

Can you add an option to allow us to start the tournament when we choose to as well? I'd like registration for tournaments to open at a certain time and then start the whole thing at another time.

edit: Also, *Installed* and *Nominated*

hello

thank you for the graet mod

i dont know were is the border and the box that show on the uesr name or the team name?

you can see the ile attach file

There's a way to manage "mixed-mode" tournament ? I mean tournament made by a preliminary group of ladder/division and then only the fist xx of each ladder/division go to the next tournamente phase, the 1vs1 "eliminatory" matches.
Just to make an exmample: the European or Mondial Football Champ

Thanks for the edit message banana.

One last thing from me as far as requests go. I am editing my php file each upgrade so that I can do a mass edit to a tourney. When I edit a tourney, I can edit number of players/freeslots/status.

It's a really handy feature especially if a tourney goes full and you need to add players. Can this be added as a standard feature? Tired of editing the php file lol.

Pretty simple to do, just edit the .php file and template tmnt_edit. Just think it'd be a great standard feature.

After installing this lovely mod, i can't seem to find it anywhere in navbar links or forum links. If i go directly to www.mywebsite.com/forum/tournament.php i can see it... but, isn't there any other way ?
