I've installed this product and followed the instructions but the links wont appear on the nav bar - I've checked all the usergroups and I went direct to the link and everything works - checked on both custom and standard styles - any ideas?

Is there a way to remove a Ladder match once it has taken place.

I have Guy A at 0-1
and
Guy B is at 1-0

The person in charge of the ladder made and error and Guy A is supposed to be at
1-0

I went to rectify the situation and it seems the only way I can is by removing both players and then putting them in again. Is there any way for an admin to remove a game once it has taken place and been submitted?

Is it a Ladder.?
I dont think so.. but I'm not sure how the ladder works, i dont use it.


If it a single elimination bracket.? then Yes.
You hit the red x to regress the player, & hit the button to progress a player.

Not on the tournament. The actual ladder is where the wrong information was posted.

Wrong information cannot be corrected with ladders as there is no way to work out the old elo rating.

Hey bananalive,

I currently have version 2.6.9 installed. I thought about upgrading.. From what I understood, tournaments and ladders are now two separate things?? How do I upgrade?? Simply upload new files and import the product file (with allow overwrite of course)??

And I don't lose any data (especially ongoing tournaments)?

The reason why I want to upgrade is that when you edit team's name, it doesn't change the name in that tournament bracket/tree. I wonder if that is fixed in the newest release?
