Is there a way to create a tournament but put it as teams but not require a full team to signup, so people will join and then they will be put into teams..
Or how do you even create teams?
You could create a team tournament with min members 1 max members 10 (hoping for teams of ten). Then write in the description...
Quote:
join empty teams by clicking on the team you wish to join and then clicking Join team on next page (requires confirmation by team leader).
If you wish to create your own team, click here and join tournament.
(Members would need to be given usergroup permission to create teams)
I am checking back in to find out if there has been any progress on the following:

Once that date is hit then the ladder gives the admin/mod the ability to create a tournament based on the results of the ladder. The top teams would be placed high on the bracket with bye's into the second round/third round depending on the number of participants. It would also matchup teams based on their record from the ladder, so the lowest ranked teams would face the strongest teams(assuming that a bye system is not possible or doesn't make sense). This would create a league/playoff atmosphere around the mod and would be VERY helpful in my opinion.
2. Challenge Details are needed for the ladder. Basically, a place to put in the details of the match in question. A few suggestions would be Map Name, Mode, Number of players needed, Date & Time, Notes.
Feature Request: Tournament Add-on
The ability to seed players/teams in the tournament bracket.
I have trouble with people being able to access the page with tournaments. It says they dont have access. Even if I have given them access. What am I missing? are there any more options somewhere?
Assuming you don't have to change a lot of people's, it's not that big of a deal. There should be a way to reset the field for everyone to 0, but I'm not that familiar with database coding.
I followed the instructions in the read-me that came with the download, but I cannot find a link or anything to the tournaments/ladders on my website. I can see the tournament/ladder permissions for user groups in my admincp. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?
EDIT: My vB is set up in a forum sub-directory folder. That is where I installed the files, was this correct? I also contacted my webhost and had them change the \image\teamlogos directory to CH MOD 777) and still couldn't find anything on my site
