The way single elimination tournament brackets work, they need to be as 4 players, 8, 16, 32 players,etc.
Bye players are just like place holders

That's probably LMS tournament. Or the tournament has started yet?

It is LMS tourney. Is there an issue currently I am unaware of? I apologize for any inconvenience. It does the same either if the tourney has started or not currently.

I did figure out it was LMS. Could you advise on the issue with that currently? I changed it to single elimination and it works.

It's not a bug.

Insert scores and then they will be ranked.

Thank you very much for the prompt response!

[Jeromedia603]

I think this may be the very last issue I have. Could you please advise on how to fix the parameters? Here is a screenshot of the page and you will notice the competitions nav and slide seems to go off of the page. I look forward to your response! Again, thank you very much for your time.

I believe that it has to do with the slide show and how it centers the image, perhaps making it align left would work best. Just my thoughts and that doesn't say much considering I know minimal coding.
