Has this been fixed and if so how many teams can we use for double elimination ?

Also the link you have posted for double elimination, Is this exactly how the tournament works ?

Just i see some brackets for 16 man look different

Depending on the size double elimination tournaments may display slightly differently.

Double elimination size limit is 16 players/teams.

I did post this earlier but the site went down and the post was removed so ???

Anyway some issues here

I created a group play for 8 players as this was an option

There should be an option to select which group each player goes in
Each group there should be the options to enter each fixtures score rather than just promote 1 person so each group has played, won,drawn,etc,etc

So as stating i created the event and it never let me chose how many groups should be in it and it just made 3 groups up randomly

I progressed a player from group 1 and 2 to the next round but when i try to for the 3rd group it does not progress them, It just put a W at the side

Also in Round Robin Single Elimination, again it had an option for 8 players so i set it up with that
Now the issue here is that there should be an option when creating the event to set amount of groups but you have to go back and edit the event for this to happen
Then when i set this to say 4 groups it does not work, It just sets in to 1 big group

Current mod version creates errors all over. When clicking on Rating it is busted. When adding text to rounds it saves, but then takes away the brackets on tournaments, and there is no way to revert or correct. When closing tournament under edit option it takes away brackets and there is no way to revert or correct. Please look into issues and update, ty.

Hello, a question, in free agents.. as I can to edit the title and options?



Thank you.

Hey mate,

The elimination tournament works but

League doesnt work as when you click on Recent Matches, Upcoming Matches and Your Matches it reverts back to just a random page on the site. Ie, www.mysite.com/?do=view&id=3&sh=2
thus I cannot use league as I can enter scores as the link is wrong or is it because of my mod rewrite for seo friendly url...


Round Robin works but it only allows three digits in the scoring but for I need four digits as mine is fantasy footy and alos when you insert the number and the height is not high enought as the number is cut. The important thing is the 4 digits. in scoring such as 2,500 pts v 3100pts

thank you in anticaption.

Have you given yourself the permission to manage all competitions in the Usergroup option?

[JoKeRxbLaCk]

Yes but the problem is that i dont want to edit competitions, but the error there is when i click in the navbar in competitions.. Whats the matter?

Double Round Robin




Player position is not in numerical order and as there are 5 players, It should be 1 - 5 but its 1-6 and number 5 missing

Also as seen its messing the whole page up and you have to scroll across the site making it look messy


Again looks messy and goes off screen

All other tabs it keeps to the forum width
